Hey did you get your Pr Visa granted finally ? After your nomination was approved By AAT

 

Hi,  I did. Took about 4 months and I did chase the department by email. After the email, got a grant immediately on the same day, I doubt it as a coincidence

Hi mate, 

long wait indeed...stressful as hell too.

Hi There, 

Yes, what's expired will have to be redone and submitted. So if your IELTS has expired, most likely will need to be redone (Ours wasn't), medicals and Australian Police check we had to arrange again and submit new ones. Overseas police check wasn't asked so the old one was fine.
