Mavi, from which processing centre did you receive your acknowledgment letter?

thankyou mate. Just wondering, have you done medical already? If yes, what does it say in your immi account about medical? Can you please check once? I have done medical last year on august. So my MA told me to hold on untill immi ask to do detailed medical check up. I havent checked my immi ac yet. But when i checked it tonight, it says this applicant has to undergo medical examination. I am going to talk to my MA tomorrow about this. But still want to make sure what it says on yours? TIA We have done the medical so that the application is decision ready and medicals are valid for a year to my knowledge. On the Immi account it shows View Health Assessment - Health clearance provided – no action required

What I have discovered a few weeks ago is that some companies who sponsor regularly have a labour agreement in place (or something like that), so this might be the reason for this quick turnaround. If not, pure luck

I know, the immi email also says that they are allocating January for 186 but alot of Feb approvals have come through. Not sure how accurate this auto reply is.

Hi Praneesh, from my understanding 187 is regional. Direct Entry is explained below. The Direct Entry stream is for people who have never, or only briefly, worked in the Australian labour market. So how I understand this is that DE is if you apply for PR while on 457 or offshore. Transition is when you have worked your 2 years on 457 and now transition to PR which could then be 187 or 186 depending on whether or not you are in a regional area. Not sure if this is 100% correct but this is my understanding.

If I'm correct, we only have 14 (of those who checked in that they are still on the Forum) people left from December still awaiting news. Come on Immi, make us happy! :wacko: This week it seems that NSW is busy with 2nd week of December applications and WA with first week of Dec. Not sure how accurate it could be as we are only a handful of applicants on this forum but this is all we have.

Jip, it does say average of 4.5 "An International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test result of an average band score of at least 4.5 based on the four test components of speaking, reading, listening and writing. Your test must have been completed within 12 months of visa application lodgement or can be completed during visa application processing." Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Its very easy to get 4.5 in each band. Thats why I didnt bother double checking it. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

I am the second applicant and had to get 4.5 in each band for IELTS Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

I havent seen any msg's from them in quite a while, dont think they are on the forum anymore. Hopefully they received their approvals.

Any idea what the occupation is?

Guests, please share your timeline:huh:

Hi Katrina, have you contacted them at all?

We have seen some December movement, even if it is only one. There is hope. The auto reply also says December for 186 but they have seen a few Feb approvals so I'm not reading much into that anymore.

Thanks for checking in, Hopefully they dont take another 12 weeks to finish December applications. Holding thumbs that you can get some good news in this week.

Have you been contacted at all for more documents and have you tried phoning them ?

Congrats, at least we see some movement on 187 today.

Jip. its on Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk
