  1. Hi Captain, This is for a 186 visa through direct entry (so no EOI and no invitation involved)
  2. Hi everyone, a friend of mine is applying for PR under the direct entry stream but his visa in expiring soon and he needs to apply before it does, so he can get a bridging visa. Can he apply for PR and then add the IELTS subsequently as an additional document when he gets the result? Can he do the same with his wife's IELTS? Thanks!
  3. First of all, a skilled visa takes months to get granted, if not years. Second, you don't know what rights you will be given on a BV. No matter what the agent says, what matters is what you actually get from immigration. Countless stories here of people who said "Oh, but my agent said..." and then something did not go as planned. You really want to be on a BV for so much time, knowing that you might, for any reason, get a negative outcome and having to leave in 28 days? While you have a baby? If you guys have the money (lucky you!) to support 3 people with just 1 job (I doubt you'll find a good paying job while you are evidently pregnant), pay a skilled visa application for 2/3 people, pay rent and cost of living for three etc., manage to get a positive skill assessment, medical for you two and IELTS (AND all the other documents required), all of this while far from home and, I guess as all us expats here, no help from the family... go ahead then! But if even one of these conditions does not apply to you, then I would consider that you are putting yourself in the condition of being responsible for a child, not just yourself.
  4. By the way, @everyone! @dreylee and I are meeting this coming Sunday at 12.30pm at the Norfolk Pub on Cleveland Street. Everyone feel free to join us to celebrate (those who got their grant) or spend some time together (those who need to focus on something else!).
  5. It's finally my moment!!!! Our PR has been granted! Thanks everyone for the support through the dark moments, I leave you the spreadsheet as a legacy, make a good use of it!
  6. It's incredible, they are questioning something they shouldn't be doing at this stage! In TRT stream you already had a 457 for 2 years which means that at the time you fulfilled all the requirements! This upsets me a little bit honestly.
  7. Can you guys login into your immi account? Mine is down and I wanted to check something, grrrrr I mean, it will let me in but if I click view application it won't let me.
  8. @allegroridz that's so great!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone else, keep the spirit up, our turn is close :-)
  9. Hi @DanniB, thanks for the update. Do you know if it was a single application, if it was HR or LR Country, Direct Entry or Transition, and which processing centre? I will update the spreadsheet counting her as external. Thanks!
  10. Let's all remember to keep this one updated! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BcNOlnXc0F2QgYweRiQUYgH8LOgdmSEn-9rkxTkIlBk/edit#gid=0
  11. Totally up for drinks @dreylee! I'm back Tuesday, next weekend would be ideal! We can give a random appointment -like at this time in this place- and who wants can show up
