Hopefully you'll get your grant before you reach the 18 months mark!

Thank you, but I doubt it.. Everytime we get up to the time frame days after they up it again..

I am tired of waiting too.. I complained yesterday that i have even completed 18 months.. but got the usual reply..so upsetting..I don’t know why they are not giving us grant.. i have submitted all requested documents within 28 days and after requesting documents sophorn go for  3 months holidays... not fair...

Me too CO sophorn. applied 14 feb 2018 still waiting after submitting docs requested by CO.

anyone else with CO sophorn ?

[PRHope]

Like you guys. Kept on refreshing my mails every second.

 

It is so sad and a bit shocking that those who have applied before me are still waiting for their grant. 

 

So unfair.

[PRHope]

Dont get why they cant finish the case for all those who required further assessment first before starting a new file.

 

I am just hoping they have a clear system of looking through the queues and not forgetting the ones that they have started before

Hi need some advice.

I applied 887 on 20 Feb 2018 and I got my grant on 5/06/2019. The next day I applied for the centrelink befnifit by claiming. Today i got a call from Centrelink,they said the rules has been changed I will be eligible for centrelink benefit once getting PR I need wait for 2 years to get centre link benefits. Is that true. I am not sure can someone share your experience.

Thanks vino

[Riaz]

pls. check email everyone. Dont let your morale down by new bs timeframe.

These are golden words!  I think better to concentrate on the fact that things are clearly moving. It's just that we have such a huge backlog now, that it takes time to fix.

This is normal, you will notice that the Bridging visa only kicks in when your 489 expires, but they issue the bridging visa once you apply for the 887

They updated the 190 visa processing time from 11-14 months down to 9 - 13 months. Yet increasing our time ?

Nudgee, we have seen applicants been granted PR in less than a year, so once again I reiterate that if all the documents are complete and uploaded then the CO can issue a grant once they review the first time around. If documents are not correct then the CO may need to return to the application, and therefore may take 16 to 18 months. That's my take!!

[Jeremy]

what are the real benefits of PR?

• if you have a decent job in regional area, why moving after PR?
• Buying house?? with 489 can not we able to buy?
• wait 2 years for centerlink benefits? how many yeas for citizenship? 
• Travel in/out easily.

 

I am just wondering why they do not give PR so quick.
