Great--!! So happy 4 u

Many Congrats When you did ur test? State ?

Another week ended today.

Guys expect somewhere in Feb - March ,DIBP is hopeless. They created a big mess by freezing and melting applications.

Now they are changing status to approved in immi account but not finalised.

Finalised is after the ceremony. Did CRS know this?

Lucky guy

My understanding is that the processing will remain on hold when you are overseas?

This will delay your ceremony as well. Alot of ceremonies are already cancelled due to a low number of candidates.  Therefore overseas trip may result in a 6 months delay

Same here

I have booked my family trip to Europe which will result in a further delay in the processing. 

Sent an email to Perth DIBP a week ago asking whether they have all the documents , they responded with a generic response email as below.

Yes I did - They said that your checks are at final stages. You can expect approval in 3 to 4 weeks. Call again early next year if not get approval.

Maybe you will get ceremony letter straight away..!!

@Elliot Tsao  The deadline is about to over today

Next Monday I will be calling Immi..

@Elliot Tsao 3 days left, for your approval letter.

Download and attach Error form  1023

Someone posted that status in Immi account changed from received to approved before receiving the letter.

DIBP is a  big mess these days.

@Elliot Tsao you are expecting " The letter" by the end of next week?

Hi everyone, I have been silently followed this forum and find it very helpful. So I hope someone here can help me with this question.

 i have just been granted PR 186 ENS but my MA insists that I need to work for my employer another 2 years because it will cause me trouble when applying for citizenship. they will check employment history and may not grant citizenship if I dont work for my employer 2 years post PR. Have anyone here got any idea about this? 

thank you

it doest not matter. One of my friends got citizenship in time (within 2 months ). She left her employer immediately after getting ENS186.
