Re: ENS Visa (121/856) Current Timescales
Congrats Cheekymoo and thanks for your timeline 20 days from Nomination to grant, I front loaded all meds, PCC, and all Form 80 & 1221 same as you. I am not that worried as I have just over a year of my 457 left but want it over and done by end of June as I hear from a reliable source that there could be big changes from 1st July.
I have no few than 3 close friends all about to lodge their ENS PR at the moment and 2 others have already been granted in the last month (1xENS and & 1x175). The one with 175 was not on the CSL and had his application was in from last year and it was looking pretty shit for him but his girlfriends father is an MD of some big company knew some politician and they must have pulled his file or something not quite sure on the details but he is is in USA on holidays and last I heard he got the grant about 2 weeks ago he actually tipped me off about this site. Anyway he advised us all get ENS my other friend already was doing his ENS since last August (when he paid $6500 to his agent) the agent f**ked him around something shocking he didnt actually get his lodged to the 24th April but it was granted by 29th. I think in his case he his agent waited to see if the Nomination would be finalised before lodging the actual application but was all good in the end.

I reckon Claire is going be next.
Mine was granted on Tuesday but only was told today, so you could already have yours Claire and you wouldnt even know it. That reminds me I still have to check my lotto ticket from last weekend, could I be that lucky in 1 week?

Re: ENS Visa (121/856) Current Timescales
Should do but you will probably cop a Visa withdraw charge (about $5) so best to take big lumps rather than $50 and $100 at a time.
