Hi all, anyone waiting more than 50 days after submitting S56 request? @Dhakalbinod, @BigBan, @Lokeshu, @Chelsea98, @hongkoknger, @Tweedathart, @David1983 how you gays are going? - Thanks. 

Yes, still waiting !!!! The wait is over killing, but there is nothing I can do apart from waiting. Right  now, its been only 30 days from when s56 was requested (15th June) and 15 days from when I submitted, so I am right behind some of you.

In on 98 days since supplying the info from a S56! Don't think this part is even in the slightest bit predictable so no chance of reasonable averages etc. Just a case of strap yourselves in and being patient. Hard as it is...

Me too, my nomination approved on the same day,  24/05 no further documents requested,  still status received... that is killing me, I hope they are not going to request after 2 months first even though I have Everything submitted with the application..

@Anajmi I think you're stretching it here mate 🙂

But no, as far as i'm aware (I stand corrected), maternity does not count towards permanent working hours, meaning it would not count towards your 2 years.  

If it is a fully paid leave, it should count because it is a benefit of being employed. If it is unpaid leave, it may not count.

Hi , 

Today I have entered in my seven months . I think I am qualified enough to whinge . I have done that in past but many members have said don’t whinge you are not that long enough. I am not happy the way things have happened two people who applied before me have already got PR and one who applied after me has also got PR. I am the fourth person and I believe the most unlucky one , I am really sad that’s why just writing this . My luck has always been like this , I am always in every situation is like a Victim who is just waiting for good things to happened.

Thanks,

Nsw pese, and I've heard nothing back after that...

hi,

for those who joined the forum late, what was the 'famous email' you refer to in your signature? was it something generic or your application specific?

Hi @Jerita, we all share the pain of this wait game. Some definitely have more painful journey than others. I understand your situation because sometime frustration is not developed when you face challenges but it develops when others don't. There are so many variables in this immigration equation and no one knows the formula. It is very difficult for people outside the department to tell you what is happening in each individual case, but we can all stay positive and hope for the best.

Most likely it is like that but, at least, in another forum it mentions that you need to have at least 5 posts. We have the same agent @Tapas

Yup. Thanks for the info @HokeyPokey. I have asked them to provide bi-weekly updates on the progress of my case. Did they share any credentials wherein you can log on to Immi Account and see the status/progress yourself? I find it a bit weird that I have to go back to them everytime I need to check in on progress of my application. How about you?

@Tapas. My application is also filed by one of the corporate immigration agent. You should ask them for the acknowledgment letter from immigration which department issues when they receive an application. You also need this letter to apply for Medicare as you are eligible for the Medicare benefit from the time you apply.This letter will contain "TRN" number. You can create an immi account and import the application using this TRN number. This way you can track the application yourself. Please note this is only possible when your Visa request has been submitted, agents will not be able to share the TRN of nomination application.

Hi all,

My visa was granted today!!!!

Thank you all guys, I’ve been a silent reader for several months and since I discovered this forum I would pull up my phone multiple times a day thinking “let’s see how are my mates doing”. You have actually helped me during this time. Seeing people being granted gave me hope and seeing all the amazing advice and information gave me a little bit of confidence too because I could see that I wasn’t alone and there is actually a bunch of amazing people online helping each other during this process. Thank you very much for this.

However, with that being said deep down I have been so worried and sad, the uncertainty was killing me. It has been very hard especially since the famous email on the 4th of April. Some days I would cry especially at night, not knowing what to expect. I believe in God and I prayed everyday, asking to give me strength to endure in this situation. Whether you believe in God or not please stay strong, your time will come soon. Looking at you Dimitrios and everybody else waiting - I don’t know any of you and I can’t recall your user names right now, but I feel you. Keep having faith my friends.

Here’s my timeline for those interested:

- 186 TRT (grandfathering) nomination and application: September/October 2018

- Received the famous email on the 4th of April

- Done the Medicals straight after the email

- Some docs were requested to my company at the end of May (don’t know what they asked for but my MA said it was the usual stuff and everything looked good)

- At the same time I have been updating my police checks, payslips, etc. in order to keep my application decision-ready

- Both nomination and application have been approved today 15 of July

I would recommend to keep your files up to date proactively. If they will expire soon, update them. This may or may not speed up the process, no one really knows but the fact that both my nomination and application were approved at the same time would make me think that it did help speeding up the process.

Best regards and good luck to everyone
