Thanks Dhillon??.It was onshore application. Yes I think everyone should be hopeful that the applications are indeed being processed at normal timelines in many cases.

Hi guys. Long time lurker and my 2nd post here! Delighted to share with you guys that today I received my PR grant after only 4.5 months!!187 DEEmployer Application/ Nomination: 9 Feb 2017Employee Application Visa: 10 Feb 2017 (applied myself, no agent)Granted (Visa & Nomination): 26 June 2017Minor docs requested from Company on 26 June 2017, provided same day and cleared by immigration same day.No Further Docs requested Occupation is Marine Surveyor (No more on the list now)HR countryNSW Processing Centre I truly believe that being from HR/LR country does not matter, only your Occupation & the reputation of the employer company decides the prompt action of the visa application process. Hope this gives hope to more people. Good luck to everyone....:)

@Lali The easiest way for you mate, is to prepare a statuary declaration that you have been residing in XX country from XX to XX time(signed by Justice of peace or anyone authorized to do so) Also mention that you are unable to obtain the required police clearance. Having sailed on a XX flag does not necessarily mean that you have resided there, so there is no basis to obtain PC anyways. A lot of flag nation exist only on paper or with population in just thousands and no proper administration! It's a technical glitch in the immigration system and the most efficient way to handle is what I just described above.
