Hello,
I am a silent reader for a while.
Today my agent lodged my application. I don't think health care professionals may have more priorities than others. Initially, my agent also thought it on this way. He confidently believed that the nomination could be approved by the mid of August. So he didn't lodge my application until now. Based on his ideas, all of 186 visa in VIC may be processed slowly due to stage 4 restriction. So we have to wait for it patiently.
It is my timeline:
Nomination: June 24, 2020-- still being processed
Application: August 19, 2020
Location: VIC
Onshore 2, offshore 1
Occupation: sonographer
Passport: Canada.
