Straight through, no docs requested ? Good luck!

Thank you all, appreciated - yes there are a lot of questions around that occupation. It is actually the 17th hardest job to recruit for in Australia because it's a very stressful job even though the barriers to entry are low. Australians really don't want to do the job. I can see why to an extent tbh. I think part of why it's being processed faster is they are now practically off the list, (caveats makes it almost impossible to apply under that occupation for TSS and now impossible for PR) so they are clearing those that are left in the system for consideration. The reason it is being downgraded is not because it isn't in demand, the shortage is going to be riridiculous in 12 months time; its more they are questioning if it's actually a skilled occupation - no real certifications exist around it, hence why it's at risk. One thing I have learned is never try to understand public sector logic - it never makes any real sense...

As you may note from my name, I am a silent reader of this forum for the last 6 months. I was blessed to receive the phone call and email notifying me of my PR grant today Recruitment Consultant, LR, 1 person, 186 DE Nomination lodged 12/12/2017, application lodged 19/12/2017 Nomination and visa grant 17/05/2018 - application was decision ready, no documents requested by CO. First I know and appreciate that I am incredibly lucky to have been granted PR in 5 months almost to the day. I realise this may be little consolation for some of you with waits in excess of 12+ months, and I can only apologise for that, I do think occupation does have a massive influence on which applications are prioritised, (on MA's advice). I wish you all the best for the future though if I am honest, some of you do need an attitude adjustment, (no names). Please continue to be nice to each other and hold onto the positive vibes, I promise your day will come and this challenging journey will be worth it. Thank you all for your unwitting support, it helps more people than you all know <3 Peace x ?
