Hi @AlmostOZ Nothing yet on my side... let’s hope there’s some movement soon. Cheers

Applied beginning of May from Toowoomba—no word yet.

Much obliged, KazBaker!

Just a quick question in response to a post that I read here some time back (I haven't been able to relocate that post since). In cases where children under 16 are included in one parent's citizenship application, but the other parent is not applying (a choice because that parent's country of origin does not allow for dual citizenship), is the non-applying parent required to provide a letter of consent? And if so, does anyone have a handy template? Cheers

Thank you. It's a pleasure to help in whatever small way I can. We're all in the same boat.

Great. I hope you get your PR soon.

Thank you. I'll be in QLD.

Thank you all! My family and I will be on the next available flight to Australia (we applied offshore). My timeline is in my signature. My occupation: university lecturer. May you all be rewarded for your patience soon!

And happy to report that my own PR has just been granted! Whoohoooo!

Done. Please check.

@Shraddha: I'll gladly add your timeline, but could you also let me know how many applicants and what stream (direct/ transition etc.)? Thanks.

Just a request: if you are a 187 applicant and haven't already added your timeline to the spreadsheet, please consider doing so (even if you're not a PIO member). The more profiles we have, the better we'll all be able to get an idea of the bigger picture of who's getting grants and when. Adding is easy of you are on a desktop/laptop or tablet: simply click on the link for the spreadsheet in my signature below, go to the relevant month tab (at the bottom) for your application, and add your details according to the column headings. Please add your own details if you can. If you have tried and are having difficulties, then give your details on this thread. In that case, include details of stream (direct/ transition/ agreement), low-risk or high risk country, no. of applicants, nominated occupation, date of application for both nomination and visa, and any contact that you've had from DIBP. Thank you for your help. All the best if, like me, you're still waiting for your grant.

The spreadsheet will give you an idea of where grants are now, as well as an indication of how long people are waiting on average. Click on the link in my signature.

Exactly. If you're lucky, your application will move straight from "Application received" to "Finalised" without the intervening stages.

"Application received" means that they do not require any further information from you at this time. If they do, your status will change to "Information requested," and once you have submitted what they require, "Assessment in progress." Hopefully, though, your status will change from "Application received" to "Finalised" without any further delays to that which you've already endured.
