    Lucky one got  PR so quick 

    I know we feel very very lucky. We tried to get PR in 2015 by ourselves but dentists were taken off the SKilled occupation list halfway through our application so we had to get 457 sponsor. I think that there aren’t many dentists on this 457/ applying for PR So I think that has helped. Also working for big company.

    Went to bed last night status received.

    Checked at lunch today and FINALISED!! 😍   🙌 🤩 I was soo shocked didn't hear from the MA until the afternoon.

    Nomination and visa approved at the same time it took 5 months and 6 days. (please update me on the timeline)We are feeling soo very lucky and grateful, and on top of the world. I am really sorry to everyone who has been waiting soo much longer. I really hope that the wait is over for everyone soon and you all get good news.

    Thanks soo much everyone for contributing to such a useful and supportive forum. I admit I have been a bit obsessed with reading it over the last month!

    Hi Guys, 

    Our application has gone through to Further assessment. 

    Since my last post my partner and I have had a bit of a shock. On the 29th Jan we were asked to organise our AFP, UK Police Check and also our health check. We thought, great, we are getting super close. 

    We organised our AFP and got those back within a few days and managed to book our health checks in super quick. Both AFP and Health check came back positive and obviously no issues. We applied for our ACRO police checks and my partner had a bit of a shock when we got these back. She has "No Live Trace" on her police check. She remembered that she had 2 warnings for shoplifting in 2004 and referral order for carrying a novelty lighter with a serrated edge but didn't think these would appear because these took place when she was a minor. 

    In 2012 my partner got a police check done for her job as an airline hostess and this came back clean. This check we now realise was not as in depth as an ACRO police check. My partner had the understanding that because this police check was clean that no records as a minor would affect her adult life. She used this same police check for her 1st visa here in Australia in 2012 which was a partner visa with her ex and she also used it for her 457 visa after she split up with her ex back in 2013.

    As soon as we could we submitted a notification of incorrect answers along with a copy of the old police check that we luckily had on file. We then submitted the Acro police check.

    My partner is feeling incredibly sad as this innocent mistake could cause immigration to invoke PIC 4020 which could be devastating to our application. 

    I am still keeping positive as we are good people and we both have had a clean record in the UK and Australia since. There is nothing we can do to change this situation it is what it is. 

    All I ask is for everyone to throw positive vibes in the air for us both and hope that immigration will take this information lightly and approve our visa. 

    I'll keep you updated with our progress. 

    Good luck everyone!!! 

    So sorry to hear this Tini365. We had a similar situation in September 2018 when we applied. My husbands also came back 'no live trace' for a caution drunk and disorderly also back in 2004. He was 18 at the time. Our MA advised we may be able to have it removed. In the meantime we submitted visa without the AFP. We spoke to police and ACRO in UK, managed to fill out a form to appeal the caution and it was overturned. (In the meantime we ordered a subject access which we were going to put in with our application if we were unable to get it appealed and provide an explanation ) We didn't have any evidence as to why we were removing it he just said young and a mistake and stressed what a massive impact it was having on our visa application.  It took about 3-4 weeks to come back but was worth it to have it now say no trace if possible. Even if it can't be removed don't stress if you can get a subject access explaining what happened and have a note from your MA it should be fine.

    I hope this helps best of luck.

    @CharlotteR If you received your bridging visas (which you would have been given on lodgement of visa) then you have your TRN number.

    - If you have your TRN number, you could simply login to your IMMI account and import your application. You could then keep track on it yourself, without having to ask your MA for updates 🙂 

    that's a really good idea thank you. If you do that though does it mean your MA no longer has access to see your application on or does it just mean that you can both see what's going on?
