I got something very important to tell you guys.:cool:

Although the application Status on the e-Visa System has not been changed a bit since region manager contacted us on Nov 6th,, which changed the status to “application being processed further”, we have received a message from Case Officer for the first time today.

We got the PR Visa Granted today!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Here’s some info for your reference.

Application Type:Class VE, subclass 175 Skilled Independent
Lodgement Date: 15 April 2008
Visa Grant Date: 25 November 2008
Initial Entry Date: No Later Than 27 May 2009
Country: Japan
MODL: Specialising in Java
Work Experience: 4.5 years in IT field at the time of lodgement

[Secrets]
I claimed through the post-lodgement enquiry twice on Oct 21st and Oct 28th to expedite the process and received email from a region manager on Nov 6th informing us of Case Officer Assignment in 2–3 weeks.
Than I claimed directly to the region manager to further accelerate the process and it worked…we got PR visa.

Hi there

Just a quick update from us: we got an email today requesting another set of additional documentation.

On 24 September our CO asked for more work experience documentation. This time, we have to send in proof of tertiary qualifications (primary and secondary applicant).

I don't know of anyone else who's had two document requests but I'm really hoping this is the last set of stuff we need to send through – our nerves are already shattered!

Cheers
Abby (& Tim)

Still waiting for the 176 though, but at least we're on the way!!

Congrats Mel :) We were all set to come over on a 457 and our 175 was granted before we left, so hopefully the same will happen for you.

Where in Perth are you headed for?

Cheers
