@scorpion69 Congrats buddy! What is your Occupation and whether it is Direct Entry or Transition?

Hi @lizzielizzie

I think you are right.

Reluctant to say this but maybe we should put "luck" as a general answer to who gets approval first...

I do believe that occupation is a key factor which affects their priority... Got a bad feel as mine is quite general.

Anyway, good luck to you and me and everyone on this Forum...

 

Hi @Elliotkan, you never know - I had a good feeling and was riding the wave of optimism the first several months...until we went past 7 months and still nothing..and then 9, 10, 11 months and still nothing, ha ha. Now we're a few days from 365 and I'm a bit resigned and sad. I'd really like to know though what the maximum wait time is for a CO to be allocated - at least that much information would help us plan our lives better. 

Good luck to you - who knows, you might be one of the fortunate ones!

Hi Lzzie, One has to be real lucky not to fall through the crack to miss the 1st wave of approvals of a particular month. My take is "LR + Transition + SOL Skill" applicants are more likely to fall within the 6 months approval timeline.

It looks like a bus coming to pick up waiting passengers. No one knows number of seats in each sortie, time of pick up, next schedule of bus, or order of the queue which appears to get dis-oriented after each sortie and then the poor left out passengers look at each other's face trying to figure some logic behind why they are left out and someone got the ride!

Waiting patiently is a virtue!! I pray that mine and everyone's PR is approved asap. 

Cheers...

 

Yes, @syd2016 I agree although some HRs get approved quickly so I wonder if it's dependent on actual nationalities, ie. some countries are looked at less favourably in this Trump world. For instance, I read that Australia will now have stricter border processes for all flights coming in from the middle east, following the US and the UK. Just wondering if they have similar filters for visa applicants? Or maybe they cap per country. Who knows..it's all so secret isn't it?:ph34r:

Funny bus analogy - maybe they should've invested in a high speed train system given how much $ immigration brings in to the economy. By the way I think @scorpion69 is a software engineer - congrats mate, so lucky!

Hey Guys... Happy to hear about the positive hits  :)

I'm waiting since May 21-2016 ( 321 days which are 10 months and 17 days)

Nom: May 21,2016

Visa: June 7, 2017

all documentation was sent on time (health, police, english tests, nomination papers)

status: 'Received'

I sent a letter to IMMI to try and speed the process - no response.

Frustrating,... me and my wife are thinking to bring a baby and stalled due to the process.

Thinking positively.

Thanks in advance...

@LYWY - Welcome and Good Luck. The spreadsheet link is given below (https://goo.gl/bFWMIY). Processing time is dependent on your luck to be honest, but probability of getting approval within 6 months is high for "SOL+LR+Transition" applicants (a candidate whose skill is on SOL, belongs to Low Risk Country and applied on Transition stream)

Hi everyone! My 186 nomination refused due to not enough training benchmark fee, my company paid the training again ASAP. Can we pay back date? My MA said will re-apply again. Thanks

Very upset on it.
