In the few weeks since ours came through I've purchased a 4x4 and camping trailer (Fraser Island in a couple of weekends time); my UK house goes on the market in their spring; and I have the permanent Medicare card. PR becomes the new normal very quickly!!

At 15:42 I was logging in to check the status when my wife came in and said, “Don’t bother – I already checked a short while ago.” I nevertheless finished pressing the keys and got the standard message ‘In Progress’. At 16:48 I received the IMMI Grant Notification email: ‘visas have been granted on 30 October’. Best wishes to all those still waiting! Bob & Family. Sorry, I should have repeated the dates: Employer nomination 30 June (University); acknowledged 30 June; Immi.gov.au Lodgement page states application submitted and fee paid 12 July; all health/ Form 80/ etc, etc pre-loaded; employer nomination approved 21 October. No correspondence at all between 12 July and today (except via employer on the 21st) but now I don't mind so much ;-) (Apologies to those still on edge whilst they wait.)

Sorry for the delay - Im on business travelling around Europe. As on my earlier post: Employer nomination 30 June (University) Acknowledged 30 June Immi.gov.au Lodgement page states application submitted and fee paid 12 July All health/ Form 80/ etc, etc pre-loaded Employer nomination approved 21 October - nearly four months just to do ... well, in reality, I don't know. You might think that a University which sponsors academics fairly frequently would be relatively trustworthy - this is after all how a lot of knowledge moves around the world. However, I am ignorant of the process so will just have to wait for the case officer to review the paperwork, although patience is not one of my strong points ;-) It seems that there should be no grounds for rejection but it doesn't stop us worrying.

Nomination finally approved today. Not sure if that means a case officer or not - all pre-loaded.

Hi, Employer nomination 30 June (University) Acknowledged 30 June Immi.gov.au Lodgement page states application submitted and fee paid 12 July All health/ Form 80/ etc, etc pre-loaded Just waiting ..... I was told that a nomination one month earlier was accepted in mid-August, so maybe soon.
