Dear All,
The wait is finally over! I got my 186 visa approved yesterday!!! See below for details:
Application lodged: 12 March 2018 (Nomination also lodged on the same day)
Occupation: System Analyst
Visa: 457 to 186 (DE)
Visa approved: 2 November 2018 (Nomination also approved on the same day)
Status: Granted
Following this forum really helped me in the last couple of months when the waiting took a toll on me. It keeps me looking forward to knowing people who are in the same boat as I are slowly getting their 186 visas.
Hang in there and stay positive about the process. I believe everyone here will get a taste of freedom when it's your turn.
Please update the google sheet with the name SL ( Row 13 on March 2018 tab )
Good luck and God bless!!
