Hi there,
I'm currently on a 457 visa, and after completing 2 years of employment I applied for my PR on the 11th of April 2017 without a migration agent. As of today my immi account is still saying the application has been received and will be assessed. I have submitted all evidence, including police checks from the UK and Australia (clean), and my health exam came back clear.
I would like to know what the expected changes will be to this status within my immi account, and if it will notify me once a CO has been assigned. I know that current processing times are 8-10 months, but I also know of at least one person locally in a similar situation (457 to 186 ENS) that applied 2 months later and received their PR last week.
To be honest I'm just sat here worrying about it, as my entire life is on hold until this visa comes through. Is anyone else in a similar situation?
Thanks in advance
