Hey everybody, Some days ago I finally received the good news, when I could finally breathe freely again, when my shoulders would not be so heavy anymore and my body and soul would become lighter. I went through three different migration agents, so many up and down moments, hope and despair, balancing from keeping it on and giving it up, trying to look happy when I was feeling so miserable, and trying to make these 21 months of doubt more bearable and less dramatic, by convincing myself that in any case, it would be fine. I have spent some long hours reading this thread, hoping, fearing, dreaming with all of you guys. But each situation is different, each work and life experience has its own specificities, and all we can do is hope for the best and keep trying until the answer comes through. I applied for a 187 as a restaurant manager in Perth the 5th of August 2016, I got my RCB approved a week later, I updated the financial infos of the place 12 months later, my nomination got approved on the 28th of March 2018, but I also got asked for a new medical assessment and a new police clearance (the ones I sent had expired), I sent the documents on the 9th of April, and finally on the 4th of May 2018 I got my visa approved ! Good luck to everyone!

Hey everybody, I have been reading this thread for a long time now and thought I could add my own stone to that big wall of waiting. I've applied for a 187 as restaurant manager on the 5th of August 2016, my nomination was approved almost instantly but my visa has not been processed since then. I reached the 18 months of waiting time some days ago and it feels really desperate at times. I lodged my application in WA, I have been working at that place since July 2016, and have been hoping for an answer from the immigration since March 2017. It helps somehow to know I am not the only one in this situation, but it also frustates me to have been in that position for so long now. So good luck to everybody here, waiting as well. If I had to think of one lesson taught through that process, that would be to stay patient for what you are longing for.
