Dear Team, I am worried. 

I have had the appointment and completed the exam 100% on 14th June and still haven't been approved. What do you think I should do ? email them and ask ?

Looks like there is a slight delay mate.

You should receive the approval letter by next month (if you haven't yet)

It usually take about 6 - 12 weeks after the test to get the approval letter. (mine took 6 weeks and a bit)

I am also waiting to be allocated a ceremony date.

Hi everyone, It has been a while! Just an update

Application date: 12 Sep 2021

Acknowledgement: 12 Sep 2021

State: NSW

Test Date: 17 May 2022

I have a few questions for those who already took the test (recently)/who can help. 

• What was the test like and how long did it take? If you have any practice resource(s) to share, it will be greatly appreciated!
• What/how many documents did you take to the test? (I got a list in the invite email but just trying to be safe)

Any other information that you think is helpful/important please share.

Thanks

Right??? I am so annoyed. They lodged our application July 8 and seeing as there are June grants already, ours won't be long now probably next week and I'm still seeing these issues. They're also didn't reply when I sent additional documents like police checks, functional english and ATO documents last week. I ended up uploading these documents myself then I saw this issue with the 956 form. Paid more than 3 grand for this agent. 

If they didn't submit the advice by registered agent form that is bad I think? Who is the authorized recipient? Try sort it out before DOHA gets to July yhh?

He complained twice after gap of two weeks, got generic reply, nothing else.

Unpredictable way of working by skipping oldies. It's not fair at all, no option except, wait n watch. 

I agree, so unfair.

one of my close friend applied on 15 dec, contacted by andrej on 9th-July... Submitted additional residence & employment docs in a week time... still waiting till date

Has he complained? At this point I am just confused on how they make the whole assessments. Some people get grants almost as soon as they upload their additional documents

Hi everyone,

Looking for your advice again. If immigration sends any correspondence to my agent will it immediately show on the messages screen of the IMMI account I have imported that correspondence has been sent to agent.

See screenshot.

Appreciate your advice.

Yes I believe it will.

Hi Everyone, 

Just something out of the topic actually.. 

Do you know whether we could download driving test question from the Internet ? 

/Thanks,
D

I think there is an app for it. It is usually same question as the test. Search for DKT on your app store.
