Yes, I have noticed that too. Also already quite a few Sept 17 people have been requested for docs, it means that a lot of Sept files have been reviewed.

Hi Kaliam07

Getting nervous and excited isn't it.

We lodged our nom on the same day and hope both of us can get it soon !

Morning folks,

noticed that esmejeff got Nom&visa approved yesterday.

(Nom&visa lodged on 14th September.)

Congratulations esmejeff ! This means September application is now in full swing.

Wish all of us can get our visa shortly !

Just checked spreadsheet, it's 07 SEP Nom and visa both.. means they have started looking at Sept as well.

Fantastic ! Such a good start in March !

Thank for the great information.

If my memory serves me correctly, one of the conditions of getting the state sponsorship is to complete at least one academic year's study in Tasmania.

However, this information was not found on their website so I am wondering if the state government has made the criteria lower.

Would be great if someone could give me most up to date information.

Thanking you in advance.

PS : Currently waiting for 186(DE) approval however would like to use Tasmania as my plan B.

I am just new to this Forum so haven't really gone through everything.

Thank you for the prompt reply.

Good luck with both of us.

Does it take longer to process "direct entry" than "transit" ?

Hi All,

It was weird, as I send an email to the NSW PESE about 5 minutes before chasing an update, and approval came through shortly after.

 

On top of the world!!

 

Good luck to everyone, I know the wait is stressful, but this felling is worth it!

Congratulations !! Mine was lodged in Sep 2016 and I was told that the processing time is likely to be 7-8 months.

Good to know that July's application is being assessed !

Anyone got 186 lodged in Sep last year ?
