[emoji16][emoji322] Congratulations! [emoji322][emoji16]
Were at the start of our long wait! Only been 3 weeks so far [emoji849]

Hello everyone 
Another silent reader here. I would like to appreciate all of you for making this wait easier. You all who post here, are brave and strong people. Honestly, I couldn’t write, just being so stressed and fed up with the wait.
And today I am writing as THAT WAIT is over. 
ENS TRT as Cook approved today, applied in MAY 2017
both nominations and visa applications were approved within an hour. [emoji4][emoji4]
After two RSMS and one ENS refusal, it is hard to believe that I finally have received THE GOLDAN TICKET. And it marks a little above a decade of being here and trying.
My bestest wishes with everyone writing and reading here. I promise that you will forget this long wait within minutes. Best wishes [emoji4]

Thanks Amy86
Wishing you all the best too

Finally granted PR yesterday on 23/2/2018.

Sorry I did a mistake, below is the correction:
Nomination applied 7/2/2017 and approved 3/8/2017,
Visa applied 23/8/2017
Granted today 23/2/2018

Congratulations and Thanks for sharing with us.
May I ask when did you lodge your Visa?
thank you.

Halo my dear colleagues,
Finally my Visa has been granted.
I called ############‬, then a polite lady gave me another number to call because my application is processing from Victoria.
I called Victoria Office and a gentleman was also very helpful, he asked for all what he wants, then said “ we will look for the documents that has been submitted and will inform you,if not today then beginning of March “
I thanked him and put off the line.
Note: they requested my transcript on February 5th, and it’s not yet 28 days, but because of my call, they granted.
Good luck to you all guys.

No good news today guys??? I tell you i am addicted to this group. I login every two hours to see post and i have not logged in to immi from last one week. As if my visa will be updated here first ??[emoji23][emoji23]....infact my parents ask me about this group every day...they ask if anyone else got visa ???

Hi there,

I have been a silent reader of this forum, but quite active on the spreadsheet.

My nomination was approved on the 5th of January, and my application today (Yay!!!!)

My MA lodged the nomination on the 1st of September 2017 but I did the application by myself (lodged on 11 September) because it was too expensive to go with the MA for this as well. The consequence is they requested more information (police check translation, more evidence on relationship...) on 11th January. I called them when all docs were uploaded and they said they would not re open my application until the end of the 28 day period (9/02).

I was very impatient this afternoon and I called them again. They said the only thing they could say is that my file was being assessed, but no indication whatsoever about when I can get a decision. And 5 minutes later, I received the golden email! I couldn't believe my phone call was so helpful! It took them 5 minutes to have a look at my documents. I wonder how long I would have waited if I didn't call them.

I understand I would have probably got my visa more than a month earlier if I went with a MA, but now that it is done, I'm happy I saved the money. But my MA did a great job on the nomination!!!

I wish good luck to everyone waiting for a long time...

Environmental consultant, Direct Entry, LR, 2 people on the application.

Cheers!

Congratulation MrGrieves (CB).

May I know which phone number did you use?

Thanks

I discovered it from the timeline of 2 applicants and I am the 3rd one.

Ofcourse some people get it before 28 days, but what I discovered is that this happened recently. Begining of 2018, and happened with 3 applicants.

Dear colleagues of this wiaiting game,

I just discovered that whenever they ask you for a document, they dont open your file again unless 28 days finish.

Am I right?

They requested documents from us and we submitted on February 5th, 2018. Does this means we have to wait till March 5th,2018?

The applicant is my husband

I submitted my university certificate, but 1 month ago They asked for my English, or a letter from my university that I studied all in English. When provided it, they asked for the transcript to be sure that I studied in English

Now they requested more documents, which is my university transcript

Now they requested more documents, which is my university transcript

Did you get your visa now or still waiting ?

No nothing yet .... I called immi the other day ... he said my docs are all good...my file is waiting for the nomination to be approved...I asked agent to find out what’s happening on nomination file...he said to wait and also said even if he ask immigration...they will just say ...assessment in progress...they won’t tell what’s happening at the Backend...so just waiting
