Got mine completed today in a total of 2.5 months! This site has been very helpful! Thank you all for your inputs! *please update my timeline to the sheet. Details are in my signature.

@rahulbharate Agree with @Hex on this is a personal choice, depending on how much confidence you have if you do it on your own. In my case, my company HR helped to submit the employer nomination and I submitted my visa application myself, although we usually go through MA. It is to save some $$$ on MA's service cost for me. Our company used to pay everything of the visa cost. Now the MA cost goes to employee... With or without paying MA service, most info/doc for the application are still the same... To me, the guides on immi website is not too difficult to follow. As long as being honest and providing reasonable material in the application, I personally feel immi is not hard... Anyway, it all depend on whether you believe you can manage the application yourself or not...

@Nandarao Seems to be different email in my case, it didn't mention "application will be looked at shortly...". @Hydra Yes, I applied on 15/Mar/2019, company paid the levy on the day. Hopefully it will be quick... In the immi email attachement "Request for more info.pdf", it mentioned "When we have received your documents, they will show as 'Received' in ImmiAccount.". I am not sure what is next after I click the "Information provided" button... The application status flip back to "received" or ... Noticed others had app status in "initial assessment" and still waited a while... Anyway, the email seems to be a good sign...

Hi Suusz, I am not sure it is the famous email that the others talked about recently. First email after I submitted my application in about 3 weeks ago. The email is from nsw.pse: ======== REQUEST CHECKLIST AND DETAILS We need more information to help us assess your application. ========

Looks like immi does work on Saturday. My application status is updated to "initial assessment" on the Saturday. The "Evidence of English language ability" of my partner (secondary applicant) was requested by the processing office: NSW PESE. We will choose to pay the second instalment of the visa application charge instead of taking the exams. Now my question is how to inform the immi about our choice? Can I attach a pdf with the statement of our choice...? The other question: in my application home page, it mentioned "by clicking on 'Information Provided' button...". I can't find where the button is. Anyone can help? Thank you! ====== from the application home page ====== Important information This application requires additional supporting documentation. Please check correspondence and attach the requested documents. By clicking on the 'Information Provided' button you acknowledge that the Department may proceed to make a decision on the application. Not clicking the 'Information Provided' button in no way lengthens or overrides the period specified in the correspondence.

Hi everyone, Newbie to this forum... Hopefully everyone's input will help each other!
