I ll probably get mine soon according to the spreadsheet. Just sucks to be the last.

It's incredibly frustrating for that to happen, it felt encouraging when his PR was approved in the first week, but a month later and month 15 since I applied, it really feels like they have just forgotten my visa application. Edited May 9, 2019 by Tomlfc1992 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say you've been waiting over 10 years for PR yet you have said you applied in February this year. People have applied a lot longer before you, some even as far back as 2017. You are well inside the processing time frames to it's a little bit annoying to see complaints from people who applied so recently. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will be getting your PR soon since everything is ready. It has taken the extended amount of time probably because of the auditing, which was required by the immigration I think. Donât waist any energy waiting for the visa. It will come eventually, for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are well inside the processing time frames to it's a little bit annoying to see complaints from people who applied so recently. Again, I did not complain in any way. Jus checked the forum this morning and saw someone posting about his nomination and Visa approval applying on the same day as mine. Checked the spreadsheet yesterday and only 2 persons from this forum didn't get theirs granted from Feb 2019. Just assumed this morning that I was the last one from this forum not having it granted from Feb 2019. I've been here for the last 10 years ( 5 years on student Visa, 2 years graduate, a few months on whv and 3 years 457). I got my 457 approved in 2 months 3 years ago and it took almost the same time to get my whv. So I know it isn't fair that some visas get approved faster and some not but it's just how it is. Anyway, I got frustrated too when I saw I was the last one from Feb. It would be the same for anyone else being the last in the spreadsheet I guess Edited May 9, 2019 by Clemix974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this goes to the update in the Training Benchmark requirements being changed in March 2018. The theory is that applications sent after this date are processed more quickly as a payment to the Skilling Australians Fund (SAF) is only required as opposed to the previous requirement of a certain percentage of company expenditure being spent on Training Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
