I've tried to change my mindset, to ignore it, to think positive, to acknowledge there are people who've been waiting for longer than I have, to convince myself it's worth the wait, to take anxiety pills, to try out new hobbies that won't make me think about it...you name it. Honestly, I think it's starting to work, a bit differently than I thought tho...because I am reaching a point where I do not care any longer if it will be grated or not. I'll give it few more months then I believe I'll take some time travelling then maybe move to UK or Ireland..why not even Canada! Been living here for 4 years, and yes, I'd love to live as a resident as well, to adopt a doggy, to consider buying a property, maybe in the future move to Melbourne or Hobart, but if that doesn't happen .. oh well 🤷‍♀️.. fought so hard these years to stay here, to have my worth validated by case officers, to demonstrate I'm what they need, and spent money in lawyers, documents, applications and so on.. just to finally realise that I am worth it, if not for Australia, maybe for another country.  💪

I think exactly the same. It just the uncertainty that makes its such a painful process. I am fine either way, I could live back in the Netherlands as well and be happy there . It is just two very extremely different scenarios for the future and I just want to feel like I could settle down somewhere. Its been over 15 months for me and this has been my main issue, especially because the timelines keep increasing and there doesnt seem to be a deadline, you can not mentally prepare yourself to wait a certain time.

Hello,

I am new here - we are on a 457 -arrived in Jan 2017.

Due to changes in the occupation lists we applied for a Sponsored 186 DE in February. Thank you for the info here and could you include our details on the spreadsheet please?

Occupation: Finance Manager
Visa type: 186 DE Onshore

4 applicants
Country : UK and France
Visa lodged: 18/02/18
Status: 
Received 

I am still confused by the Medicare situation if someone can help. We have Medicare under reciprocal agreement. Do we need to advise Medicare of our new Visa application? On VEVO we are still on 457.

Cheers

5 months after the first request (company related docs and PCC query-reg. PCC with maiden name) and around 3+ months after the second request (medicals and PCC query again). I think it's almost random once your status moves into "further assessment". It could be much sooner for you.

The confusion arises because Brits get reciprocal cover even in a tourist visa. People from many other countries don’t
