Dear Friends, here is my timeline; Citizenship application submitted with all necessary supporting documents: 23-Feb-2021 Test invitation email: 27-May-2021 Test date: 23-June-2021 | Rescheduled to: 1-June-2021 | Application was approved an hour after the test. Expression of interest for VC email: 30-Aug-2021 | Council: Ku-ring-gai, NSW. Virtual ceremony: 6-Sep-2021. Concluding this journey [stressful immigration processes] that started way back in 2010 [487 -> 186 -> Citizen] and I've been actively reading all posts here on PR & citizenship ever since. Wishing you all success, a very quick approval and ceremony with no long wait.

Thank you @SAJ.N.

*PR granted. Dear friends, I was granted PR this morning and my agent rang up to inform about this. I initially started with 186 and 190 during early 2012 but due to various factors [Job code being moved from SOL to CSOL, increase in eligibility points etc.] I couldn't secure an invitation. I had to take IELTS twice and PTE once to keep up with the race but still no progress despite scoring band-8 in all. So I took 457 pathway via an internal opportunity and moved to Australia in 2016 and finally reached the goal. I'm listing my details in case it may help someone here; - ANZSCO - 263111 [Computer Network and Systems Engineer]. - Years of experience - 12 - Organization : >$50bn, >100K employees. - MARA used - Company appointed. - Country - High risk, 3 applicants. - Nomination & Visa lodged on 24th February 2018. - Status changed from received to finalised straight without any contact. So I don't know if nomination was approved earlier or on the same day. Agent couldn't share more details about it. - Uploaded all necessary documents with the application, including PCC. Did healh assessment last month. - During this wait, I contacted the dept. once via phone to check if there is any progress with my case as it had been in "Received" state for over 8 months and the agent who spoke was nice and kind to tell the case was being looked into but there wasn't an ETA. Let me know if you require any additional information and I'll be happy to share. I wish the set of people who have been waiting since 2016 and 2017 to get their grant at the earliest regardless of the occupation. Good luck all.

Hi guys, just a quick query. Will I be able to apply for an internal role that is one level up from my current position, without any impact to my ongoing 186 DE application? Job description [roles and responsibilities] remain the same except the position name [Transition from junior to senior for example]. I've written to my MA about it but I haven't received any official confirmation so far. They have emailed this query to the dept. but it appears that Immi may take longer to comment on this. Thanks in advance.
