Hey guys,
Been following this forum for a while - thanks for all your useful answers and random conversations. I've been in Aus since Oct 2013, was brought over by a telecomms company on a 457. Unfortunately the job wasn't what they made it out o be so I switched to IT consultancy... life was good! I since have applied for PR through the Transition Scheme...
Nomination lodged - 29th June 2016
Application Lodged - 3rd July 2016
Extra docs asked for (wife's UK police check I forgot to attach... doh) - 11th Jan 2017
The good part is the nomination was approved 14th Feb 2017 (WOHOOOO).
But, still waiting on the application now...feels like time has slowed down! My original 457 runs out end of Aug 2017 - so my question is, will this cause an issue? Or do you think they'll put us on a bridging visa?
And one more complication (but a good one at that)...my wife is EXPECTING! And is due in October...so baOzcally having mild anxiety at the moment...
Thanks for listening
Oz
