Please can someone give me advise: 

PR granted today .. 

Been in Aus exactly 3 years. 

I can apply for citizenship this time next year, then it takes approximately 2 to 3 years for ceremony. Is that correct? 

If so, can I leave aus after application for citizenship? I need to go back to UK for 6 months to a year. Is that something immigration won't like? 

Many thanks

Do you believe everything the daily mail prints?  

Unfortunately, this was stated by the immigration minister. 

Hey guys, 

Do you think this would affect already submitted PR applications (link below) or just restrict new ones? Fingers crossed its the latter! 

I hope they see sense and release we bring economic stimulation to the table. During a recession, cutting spending and immigration furthers a recession and creates austerity - which has been proven time and time again not to work. Unfortunately, the old political rhetroic of 'immigrants take jobs' and we'll solve that by 'stopping them' is a popular fictional story adored by the less educated.

What date did you respond to RFI? I'm trying to figure out how long it took them to review additional information for approval.

Hi guys, 

How long have you been waiting since your last response to an S56 or RFI? 

Would love to hear your stories, I'm trying to gauge how long a typical wait is from RFI response and visa grant. 

Thanks

"response by tomorrow"..??? Did they only give you 24hrs to get back with an answer saying "yes" or "no" or have they requested for proof of full time employment and docs to support genuine need ? 

They asked for a response in 24hours. 

I don't expect to get an answer for a few weeks tho.

Hey guys

Anyone in the same situation:

• Visa: 186 DE ENS
• Profession : Civil Engineer
• Country : Onshore
• Nomination  submitted : 07/05/2020
• Visa application : submitted : 08/05/2020
• Request for more information: 18/05/2020 (health examination and Police clearance)
• Health examination: 11/06/2020
• Request for more information (s56): 24/06/2020 (again Police clearance because I sent the police check - my mistake)
• Status: further assessment

 

Wow that's fast... @Madalena Ribeiro what visa are you currently on and when does it expire? I'm wondering if that's speeded up your application. 

I'm also an onshore Civil Engineer, application submitted 20th December and haven't heard anything at all. 

Any DE applicants over 7 months with no cosispondance from immigration at all, not even RFI?? 

Thanks

ANY DE PRE JANUARY APPLICANTS?? 

Who haven't heard anything at all...... if so, please let me know your occupation etc. 

@Swoop what's your story? Occupation etc. I can see its been a year. 

I'm done with Australian immigration... political shambles..

Any DE applicant got reply within 61 to 82 days?

I've been waiting over 164 days with no reply, not even RFI. 

@Jammy when did you apply and what was the s56 for? 

Anyway all the best mate and hopfuly your'll have a response soon, perhaps in the new tax year. It's always slow visa wise between June and August. 

@Jammy congrats, when did you submit 186 DE nomination? I see your nomination has been approved.

186 DE has a much faster proccessing time and of your company monies are strong - I would stick with your current application.

Staying that, I submitted my application  and nomination 20th Dec and still no response. I'm a professional Civil Engineer, my industry has a huge shortage of skilled people and gov investment in infrastructure is only growing, especially after COVID. So you would think my application would be approved quickly....

Any 186 DE applicants been waiting over 8-9 months? 

If so, what's your story so far? 

Thanks
