Sam_R_Brisbane Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hi I received the “Golden email” yesterday, informing me that my Permanent Residency has been granted. My wife and I are over the moon, but even more so as we are expecting our first child in December (who will now be Australian). My heart goes out for all the people still waiting, particularly those who submitted in 2016. Stay strong and support each other. For anyone who is interested, my timeline is as follows: LR – 186 Transition – 2 people – Hydrogeologist Submitted the application “decision ready” = 10/04/2017 Received an odd request for a “permanent contract” from the DIBP = 04/10/2017 My agent responded to the DIBP = 05/10/2017 Nomination and Permanent Residency was granted = 30/10/2017 Thanks, Samuel 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozdream1 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Apparently they have given priority to TRT, while many DE applications have been waiting from 2016.I don't think priority is given to transition based on the spreadsheet.First, there're more transition applications.Direct entry applications can obviously require more time in terms of assessment (they're also reviewing the skills)And we don't know how many DE people have applied from offshore. This information was not available on the spreadsheet. I guess offshore applications takes more time.. which make sense for me [emoji5][emoji5]However, I think we don't have enough information to draw any trends between all applications or streams [emoji5] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! As you`re applying for trt, immi`s gonna ask the payslips from your current employer. My MA uploaded all the 2 years payslips at the time of application.

Your nomination has already been approved so I guess you might get an answer very soon. You can have a look at the spreadsheet (and add your information ) Finger crossed mate! My 457 was also granted in 4 days... 321 days for my PR and still no news. Don't compare with me, it seems I'm just very unlucky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Stinson Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hopefully mate ? Just read that if a C.O hasn't been issued in the first 6-8 weeks it usually finalizes within 4 months ? Having said that the more I read the more I think it's just random ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manish9001 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I finally plucked up the courage to call Immigration today as I have now reached 11 months waiting. Phone was answered surprisingly fast, they asked for my file number and simply said "It has not been allocated yet, you are still in the queue". Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Still hoping that this call may make them open my file. Gotta keep the hope.Hey buddyCan you please tell me on which number did u call?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi @Manish9001 I rang them on the number mentioned in the acknowledgement letter, instead of Department's generic contact center number (where the normal wait time is >60 mins, from experience). You can find the number mentioned at the footer of the letter. It may take few tries before the number is picked but the response is quicker. Hope this is helpful.

JonnyP Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) Hi guys, For those waiting onshore, I am not sure what is the impatience and rush. You are already here and probably under a bridging visa if your substantive visa already expired, so you just have to wait for a decision to be made. Being patience always pays back, so relax, get a drink and keep living your days as usual.. I am about to embark on the same boat as we will be applying for the visa very soon so I know it is a long wait and I will just wait for the decision patiently.

Those who are waiting onshore... have a life here... We have a job, friends, apartment, maybe a boyfriend or girlfriend, etc... And we can lose everything...which make things worse compared to those who have never been to Australia... Anyway this is not a competition between onshore and offshore applicants And I guess we're waiting patiently... We just complain sometimes... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
