Hi Spicykhan, 2 to 5 grants still come thru each day. Hang in there!

Hi everyone, Congratulations, Simon. Visa granted 9.05 this morning (15/9), one day after Simon so Gordian, it will be your turn very soon. I lodged on 22 March, updated all info on 26 April and I have only 60, Brisbane. Thanks, everyone for keeping me sane. for the last few months I have looked forward to what you guys have to share here instead of checking my email for the news.

Congratulations to Frenzy, Sunscreen, Rakesh, Ida and Jassi! My application was lodged back in March on shore and like Simon and Gordonia I am still waiting. Guess it may be because my skill is out of the list. 27 grants today and all to those lodged in May except 1 in March and one in April.

I saw clinical psychologist and thought it must be Donna and it is. Congrats, Donna.

Great news, Pete. Congrats! So far four of us have got grants, right?

Hi Simons, I know it is hard but hang in there. The grant may come any day. You have waited such a long time after all.

Hey Pete, Someone just got a grant for quality assurance today and he lodged on 8th August, offshore to Adelaide. Is that the skill you are after? if yes, that is strange and 'unfair' as you said.

Great news, Yikes. I was disappointed to see no new grants on today and definitely thrilled to read the good news.

HI Yikes, what would you like to know? primary or secondary school for kids? how far from the city you would like to go? house prices here have increased by 100 or 200k for the last 5 years in some suburbs and it is such horrible news for us trying to buy the first home. the government provides kind of help for first home buyers though. I mean if you buy something lower than 600 0001, you don't have to pay stamp duty, which could be around 30,000. if up to 740,000 you are entitled to some concession. you guys may be aware of this already but just in case ...

HI it is the form to check whether you have served in your country's army or not. That means you are processing your application but they may need time to verify the information you provide in the form and it may take quite some time.

Oh my God. I need to go home

Great news, Paul7. As we are all so fed up with all this wait, perhaps it is good to have something more relaxing. I have been living in Melbourne for nearly 7 years so if anyone goes to Melbourne and would like to chat about school, accommodation, etc. I am happy to help.

That's great news, JMReevo. Well done. HI Jassi, I am onshore, waiting since 22 March.

You are welcome Nelly and I have just seen an engineer being asked to update the application with his CV. An engineer was granted with PR today. Since July most of the grants are for offshore applications. This is good news for Yikes and anyone applying offshore.

Hi Nelly, As far as I know you don't have to start the queue again if you upload your CV but you will have to if the CO asks you to submit further support document. If you update any information that changes your status, for example a higher PTE score that now gives you 70 instead of 60, then you will be lined up behind those lodging before your updating day.
