because i have seen couple of lawyers who dont even know about this system properly or are knowingly not ready to use DRCS because if immigration finds that the signed and certified application by lawyers are not actually decision ready they come in deep trouble
so the bottom line is sight the DRC checklist before application is sent off

Do you know by any chance Offshore or Onshore DRC processing time will be much different? I suspect since the application is with Sydney Immigration Office which is the busiest of all processing centres it can take a while, plus the fact that it is Offshore.

So good to read happy and relieved comments from people who got their PRs recently. Definitely something to look forward to

We've now done our police checks, medicals (3rd time) and had everything dotted & crossed. We’re about to submit our 47ES form now.... last hurdle hopefully --- here goes
