Hi all,

Got PR approved as well. I refreshed Immi before lunch and it was still Further Assessment, and when I saw seau’s post above it got me curious so I went in to refresh (like I’ve been doing a million other times) and didnt expect the status to change to Finalised, but it did!

Initially when we applied I thought I’d have to wait for 13 months, but thanks to this forum, I’ve learnt that processing time could be much shorter. I know we’re among the very lucky ones to have the PR only within 2 months from application, so am very grateful for this. All the best to everyone and don’t lose hope!

Timeline updated in signature.

Hi all,

MY PR HAS BEEN APPROVED

I have been a almost silent reader.. feel so bad for everyone waiting so long I am sorry it seems so unfair.

My application was only lodged in MARCH 27th 2019 and approved today. Only 2 months waiting

AND my immigration company told me to not get excited and that I wouldn’t have any chance of approval before 2020!!!!!!!! (Because the business sponsoring me is only a 10million dollar business so classes as “insignificant”  ) So don’t believe all they tell you. Stay strong.

As soon as my medical was approved it went through.

Im a technical sales manager from the UK.

Happy to help anyone who has any questions.

Please please stay positive if you are waiting. It will happen.

Big congrats!! Just for my curiosity (and maybe others’), can you share your timeline? (when was your nomination approved? When did they request for medical?, etc)

Hi all, my status has just changed to initial assessment and i recieved an email asking me to upload documents like medical afp etc. But i have already uploaded them when i put my application in. Is this just a standard email that they have to send when it goes into initial assessment?

Nomination submitted august 2017

Application submitted October 2017

Looking at your signature my best guess is your medical and police checks have expired. They have 1-year validity. Not all but some people have to provide them again.

The global visa processing time hasn’t been changed this month, which used to be updated on 20th each month, has it?

I’m still seeing the same estimated time.

Last month it was updated on 26 Apr, so a few days give and take.

@Botany Congrats on the very quick movement of your case!

I think it's likely your nomination has been approved BUT we have encountered a few cases on this forum recently whereby requests were made on the application, and nomination was still pending. 

Worth trying to track down someone in your MA agency for a definitive answer. Good luck 

Just a quick update, have heard back from the MA and the nomination was approved on 24 Apr as well (same day as further request for med check).

Thanks for your reply, I’ve emailed the new agent anyways and still waiting for his reply

What is your occupation!!!!! I guess IT 

Yes indeed, it’s IT system analyst. 

Hello everyone,

I’m a newbie here so apologies if my question has been asked...

Here is my case:

Visa type: 186 DE

Nomination & application submitted: 11 Apr 2019

Status changed to Initial Assessment & request for Med checks: 24 Apr 2019

Med clearance: 13 May 2019

I haven’t heard anything from my MA, as she has recently resigned and my case has been passed to another person in the same agency. My question is given they have requested for my med checks and the status is now Further Assessment, does that mean my nomination has been approved?

Many thanks in advance!
