    Hi guys! I am very happy to share good news with you. My PR has been granted 5 minutes ago! Hooray!!!! No docs or anything have been asked, a direct grant. I did application by myself, and recommend you doing so, to save heaps of money. Thank you all for the lively discussions on this forum. Be patient, and your turn will come. It seems they started processing April applicants now, by the way.

    He is talking about the DE stream, so not only 457 experience is counted.

    On the immi website, it is stated to tell about changes (address, phone number, relationship status etc), when you have the visa: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/employer-nomination-scheme-186/temporary-residence-transition-stream#When

    Only for one day?

    It looks like completing masters in Australia will qualify her for having functional English, see this link https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/meeting-our-requirements/english-language/functional-english

    I would advise your wife to pass the IELTS now, if she did not do this yet (or other acceptable English test). As paying second instalment would be much more expensive, i.e., several thousands dollars.

    It is a visa requirement that secondary applicant must have functional English, or pay the second instalment. (See the immi web site for the definition of functional English.)

    It is a standard procedure to pay second instalment for the English of secondary applicant (hence, the invoice). All details are on the immigration web site.

    It is roughly 1.5 visa fees. On the DoHA web site there is a visa fee calculator for the variable number of people.

    I consulted with HR about my promotion, and decided to postpone it, as they said there is a slight chance it might affect the visa grant. So I decided not to take the risks.

    Reading your message I started to think that we need a bottle of champagne emoticon.

    Basically one has to pay a lot (to Deloitte, which then pays to government) for a priority processing. Not so fair I would say.

    I think they stopped putting it there. I applied in April and do not have it.

    My wife is a subsequent entrant on my 457, and she got full working rights.

    Two people today mentioned they got rejection due to the missing org chart, and are saying there is no pattern. Isn't it a pattern?

    Hi Eddy, do you know where can I get an example of such letter? I would like to ask my supervisor to sign it for me as well.

    Hi, how come you applied for 186 as a Community Worker? According to homeaffairs website this occupation is not eligible for 186, but for only for 190, 407, 489 (S/T), TSS (S) visa, see the reference: https://archive.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/work/work/skills-assessment-and-assessing-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists/combined-stsol-mltssl P.S. Or it is similar to cooks, it was recently excluded and you got grandfathered due to 457?

    I would not call it random. They are processing Feb 2018 at the moment, which we clearly see on this forum. One of the reason some people have to wait for longer times is their profession has been removed from the list.
  19. Loktar
    Probably they gonna speedup on the open cases due to the end of year.

    If you lodged visa application within 6 months (after nomination approval), and your employer did not revoke it then it is fine.
  21. Loktar
    There is no definite answer to this. I assume it should be fine, as the most of uni contracts are three years maximum. But if the CO wants to be strict he will have the rights to reject your application based on this reason, I believe. Though, not much you can do.

    Medicare does not cover ambulance, but in some states it is covered by the government, see the reference: https://www.privatehealth.gov.au/healthinsurance/whatiscovered/ambulance.htm What state are you living in?
  23. Loktar
    @Bellabonkers You will get your PR tomorrow.
  24. Loktar
    Someone mentioned earlier that it does not cover ambulance costs, and a separate ambulance insurance ~80 bucks per year is needed to cover those (if one wants to).
  25. Loktar
    It shows 15-16 months here: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-processing-times/global-visa-processing-times
