    29 normal days

    Hi everyone, Thrilled, excited and numb to report that my golden email FINALLY arrived after almost 22 months of waiting. I received a call from my MA about an hour ago. The approval came through exactly 29 days after I received my s56 request to undertake an updated medical exam. It has been a challenging, frustrating and exhausting ride. I'll post more about my process here later, as I feel like I learned a lot that could help others. But for now I have to try to concentrate at work whilst I process this great news! Could an admin update my status on the spreadsheet? I'm CD on the October 2017 worksheet.

    Quick question for those who have had to undertake the medical exam more than once due to expiry. How does one know if their second medical exam has cleared? The email from BUPA said to give 5 business days and then look at my immi account, but the message below has remained the same since the first time. Will I receive an email?

    Hi everyone, I was really starting to lose hope that I would not get the opportunity to say this, but I got my silver email today. After 21 months my nomination application was finally approved. The department requested additional documents from my employer in June (ironically while I was overseas), and 42 days later the nomination was approved. They've requested that I complete a new medical (not surprising given that my exam was undertaken in Nov 2017) for my personal application. I'm not celebrating yet as I have another hurdle to jump. But, shout out to my 2017 buddies, they will get to you too!!!

    I'm with you, mate. Slowly rotting at the back of this nonsensical queue.

    Hi @Beingme, I totally feel your pain. This wait is excruciating, but Hex is right. I spoke with the Department a few weeks ago regarding my application and they advised that they don't have capacity to accelerate a case until it hits double the posted processing time. So, in my case that wouldn't be for another 8 months... It is so hard to do, but I really recommend just trying to live your life and ignore this frustrating wait. Think about the things you enjoy.

    I have, and they mentioned that they aren't able to accelerate my file until I hit double the posted processing times. Looks like more waiting for me ☹

    Hi @natmis, I think you are a spreadsheet admin? I saw a note on my row asking if I'm still waiting. Confirming that, yes, I unfortunately still am. Row 3 on Oct 2017, initials CD.

    Thanks for this Charly! Ironically, I was just about to post the same thing. Sharing with everyone as it sounds like this isn't an anomaly: I too rang last week in an attempt to get some clarity. Long story short, but my dad is in the hospital (for the 3rd time since I started this process), so I was really wondering if I'd need to apply for another BVB to go home and visit him. The customer service rep was super friendly and put me on hold to look at my application, but she came back with the same response that they can't really accelerate things until we're at double the time. What IS giving me hope is that if they keep bringing down the posted application processing times for 75% and 90% we might end up doubling those times sooner rather than later? Maybe the tunnel will get mildly shorter for us?

    There are still some of us left from Oct 2017

    Awesome. Thanks. I thought her email was a bit odd... our salaries are all market rate so I would presume that there's no concern about under payment.

    Hi everyone, I'm clocking over into the 16 month mark soon, and to celebrate the universe has rewarded me by making my MA graduate to almost completly useless. Ha. Kidding... trying to maintain the possie vibes, but it is getting harder evey day. I sent her a message as my company rewarded me with a salary increase at the beginning of the year and my MA responded with an ambiguous: 'We will also need to provide new evidence of equivalent wages. So we will also need payslips at the same rate of another worker in your role.' Does anyone have experience with this? Does she mean within our company or as an industry standard benchmark? There's no one in my company in the exact same role, but others at a similar level. Is that what she means?

    Wait, are you for real??? That's all it is? I thought that surely that if I were to take maternity leave during this wait then that would indicate that my business doesn't "need me"? A note to mention that I haven't spoken to my MA about this, but I have just been delaying family planning until everything is resolved to be 100% certain that I don't give the DIBP a reason to reject my application.

    Thank you! A glimmer of hope on this weird day. Our offices lost power today due to the heat wave in Melbourne and we had to cancel a major event. Fun times. Maybe the universe will repay me with my PR soon. Please?!
