Hi guys, I have been a silent reader as well. Here is my status
186 DE
Position: University Lecturer
Onshore: No
State: ACT
Number of applicant: 4 (all offshore)
Nomination applied: before 15 April 2020
Visa applied: 15 April 2020
Health check completed: 5 March 2020
Patricius, I am in a similar situation, although my visa was applied earlier. I was told by the agent that the Department is processing offshore 186 visa applications but quite slowly. You might check up the statistics for March-June 2020 the Department provides on the official website. The statistics, however, does not sound optimistic for us, university lecturers, because zero 186 visas were granted to offshore university lecturers during the period April-June 2020.
