Hi all,
Silent watcher of this forum since September. I'm happy to say my PR was approved today! Yay!
Visa type: 186 ENS Direct Onshore
Country risk: Low
Occupation: Public Relations Professional (STSOL Level 1)
Nomination lodged: 29/09/18
Visa lodged: 29/09/18
Additional documents requested: 01/02/18
They wanted more information from my org stating the need for my role. This was done in the form of a letter and we also included the org chart that showed I report directly to the CEO.
Nomination approved: 02/03/18
Visa approved: 02/03/18
I assume my visa was approved so quickly after my nomination because I had everything completed (medicals, police checks etc.) and attached with my visa application in September. I'm a bit in shock but very happy this is all finished.
I will say after reading the forums for the last couple months that no application is the same and immigration is unpredictable in how they assess and process applications. I know we are all here so support each other but I felt (my opinion) comparing each others applications wasn't always helpful.
Anyway! Best wishes to all who are waiting. I really pray that there's a big move of applications this month.
