  1. See below for my time line; same position as you. Mine was also a bit more complex as I needed an age exemption. I had also heard that CSM position had its allocation cut for this financial year, but it's a good sign that they are asking for documents. Stay positive if you can.
  2. It was 42 days from submission of s56 requested docs to visa grant for me.
  3. Hi Sere; They did not come to my workplace and only asked for S56 medical/police check (because I did the wrong one initially) and another piece of info because I was applying for an age exemption in my visa application. Check your IMMI account and/or your MA that it shows status at least "Received". After that I'm afraid there's not much more you can do except wait.
  4. Hello all, our visa was granted yesterday evening too. We are so happy! Our process was very smooth and quick compared to many of you - I hope that all of you still waiting hear good news soon. All the best. Mark.
  5. Yep, same here; 42 days since uploaded S56 requested docs... Full timeline in sig below.
  6. Here's some advice; show the employer that took the time, expense and effort to sponsor you for the golden ticket of PR in Australia the respect and gratitude they deserve and work out your two years moral obligation to them. Unless they have in some way abused you as an employee or broken their side of the employment contract they provided as part of the Nomination application, you owe them. I might be old fashioned though...
  7. I highly doubt that's true for a 186. 457 or any other temporary employer-sponsored work visa , for sure but not for a permanent visa like 186. Full disclosure - I'm no expert nor am I an MA.
  8. I'm no expert but from what I've read here it's typically 30-40 days. However, there's apparently cases where it's been as quick as 2 days and at the other end of the scale, as slow as up to two years. There's no guarantee on timing, we just wait.
  9. Nope, it's based on simple binary logic; the differences in processing times are either random or by design. If you believe it's random we will have to agree to disagree
  10. You seem to think that this is a fair process Of course it isn't! Australia will take people according to the priorities it determines as best for its growth. We all hope we fit that profile - we take a shot at the opportunity to live in this amazing country and hope that what we can offer Australia is what Australia wants. Some years it will be one set of skill sets and experience and other years it will be other skill sets and experience. Of course, if we meet the defined requirements we will eventually get our due consideration (and hopefully then our visa) but in answer to your concern about three days versus two years consider what you would do in Australia's place? Would you take first come first served, or would you take what you need first and the rest later...?
  11. To be fair, it's only been 14 days since I submitted medical and police checks
  12. Hello all; Chiming in here to keep track of the goings on. My situation in sig below. M.
