Been scrolling this looking for someone similar to us. We are in NSW and just about to lodge our 186. My partner is a carpenter, I’m defacto and we have also have two babies (born in Australia) but we are all British citizens.

hope your visa gets approved soon! 

Thank you! Haven't found many people in our situation (carpenter etc) surprisingly! Good luck too!

Hi, an update on TRT, our nomination was approved yesterday so now just waiting on our application, so at least something is happening and it’s being looked at now.

Hi Team,

I went for my medical last week and was cleared today. My MA wrote the below. The fact she hopes by the end of this year is disappointing as I was hoping for way before then. This info might help you all manage expectations.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I just found this forum after viewing the immi processing times which show it could take up to 8 months  I then saw a MA website saying between 12-15 months, and another quoting people had taken 28-48 days! So I really didn't know what to think!

Reading back from around Jan it looks like the average on a TRT is about 4 months or upto 6 for the most part which is better news, and some have got there's in 2 to 3 months which is awesome, it gives me some hope! I'm hoping as we have been in the country for almost 5 years (started on a working holiday) and we already have a 457 that it should be pretty straight forward!?

Also so confused how this visa is supposed to take longer than direct entry when most of the evidence has already been approved before, but hey!

One question I had was about Polio, has anyone else had to provide their polio vaccination certificate? I was in Indonesia some years back for longer than a month so think I need to provide this, but obviously don't have it, so thinking I'll need to get this done again before my medical... Did anyone else have to do this, can Bupa do this or do I get this at my local GP? Obviously Covid isn't helping with sorting this just now...

Looking forward to more news on people getting approved!
