Just recently applied for a 186, delighted dutton is gone, hoping processing times might start coming back down.

Although who know who Turnbull will put in, fingers crossed it's someone more moderate.

ELECTION IS COMING!

hey guys once again

PETER DUTTON HAS RESIGNED

i think it's a PARTY DAY

Just now, Parkesy said:

Yep the citizenship bill, although defeated once already, will probably go through if the liberals stay in. Malcolm will need to choose his battles if he does win with the hard right of his party. Citizenship for migrants is not worth the effort and the left don't really care either when compared to say energy.

Im also going to call it now... Citizenship legislation will change and come into force in Feb next year

WELL PAL, i have backed you many times on this forum but i TRUELY HOPE YOU WILL BE WRONG..

If labor will win they might ditch the bill if they will pass may not make it harder for the permanent residents because tony burke did condemned the waiting period and the english language test.......

i wish for the best for all the migrants

Mate Malcolm is going to have to call an election asap. You heard it hear first - Election in November latest! I actually have an event Im running in early November and the PM is meant to be our keynote dinner speech....God forbid I have to welcome and host Peter Dutton!!! I despise the man!

Dutton will resign now but challenge Malcolm if he doesn't call it. He only needs seven people to cross the line and its over.

 

EDIT: Dutton has just resigned.

hopefully he'll call an election in upcoming weeks which might be great for labor 

i HOPE labor will win and they might not touch the citizenship bill.FINGERS CROSSED

Malcolm Turnbull wins the leadership - 48 to 35

Sky News is reporting that Malcolm Turnbull survived the challenge.

But those numbers suggest that close to half the party supports Peter Dutton.

That is not good news for Turnbull moving forward.

We would expect Dutton to step down from the Cabinet now

i am watching abc at my workplace

great result haha

Hi, been watching this thread for a while and always liked to read good news, so thought I would share mine:

Marketing Specialist, Direct Entry. Low risk country, family of 5.

Nomination application submitted: 18/8/2017

Visa application submitted: 14/2/2018 (other half made redundant so couldn’t wait any longer for nomination to be approved, decided to risk the $10k fee - eek!)

Nomination approved: 20/7/2018 and medicals requested

Medicals carried out: 24/7/2018

Application moved to ‘Further Assessment’: 2/8/2018

Visa granted: 20/8/2018

I logged in at 11am this morning and last update was still 2nd August, got the golden email at 12.42pm! 

So nomination took 11 months and visa approved a month later. My actual visa processing time was only 6 months, so it looks like the clock started with the nomination submission.

Feeling massively relieved and very very happy.

Good luck to everyone else. 

 

 

Congrats mate enjoy!

Hi everyone,

I have been a silent reader on here for a while now. I received what I thought was going to be my 'Golden Phonecall' 2 days ago and with the risk of ridicule I just thought I would share my situation and ask for any advice....

short story I applied for my PR in December 17 I am currently on a 457 as a marketing specialist. My friend applied in November 17 and received PR June 18 working at the same company so I had a good feeling mine was due soon but having heard some horror stories on here I didn't want to count my chickens.

When I applied for my 457 the question any convictions came up. I have had 2 cautions in my life one 14 years ago for drunken disorderly (I'm from Newcastle it's a standard rap) and one 9 years ago for damaging property (again drunk put a cone on someone's car and scratched it) advice given at the time was don't mention it as they are cautions not convictions. When I applied for my PR these showed up on my police checks my MA said don't worry we will write a stat dec saying you misinterpreted conviction and caution and you are sorry, a different person etc (which is true I am 32 years old I have built a house here and have a Australian partner and son. I think in England a lot of things we did seemed normal in our environment but it takes moving somewhere new to realise how stupid and childish you are!) 

Fastforward to the phone call 2 days ago and you guessed it the response says more info needed it says  I made bogus statements in my 457 and I have 28 days to respond as to why. It is a very strongly worded letter and says if they find my explanation not good enough my visa maybe refused.

I guess my reason for the post is:

1. Don't be stupid like me in the first place

2. If you are then admit it on your 457 no matter how minor it might seem!

3. Any advice?

Thanks Adam

Hey @adamhe

well I have read your post again and again. I think you need an expertise on this specific issue All I can suggest please seek advice from few other MAs instead of relying on just one MA.

I wish you a ALL THE VERY BEST and  you get a decision on your favour

I've no idea why Im still hanging around ha! I guess Im waiting to see what happens with all of you guys and gals! Part of me really ways to see what the next member level is as well! How sad...

My weekend started last Wednesday and didn't stop until 2am this morning! Heavy!

I booked my partner and I into a fancy hotel in the city for next weekend and made reservations at Heston's new restaurant

i've also booked some business class flights to Tokyo to go skiing in Feb, a weekend away to Tasmania and I'm looking at buying a new motorbike.

Basically Ive been spending a sh1t load of cash because my life has been on hold for so long. Time to have it back.

You are the one of the coolest dude I've met
