Permanent Visa Grant (in 5 days!)
 

For those waiting for permanent visas...

Just got my permanent ENS visa through which took less than 5 days! I am on the CSL list.

Hope this gives an indication of the MUCH faster processing times.

Good luck to others waiting.

Low risk country
ENS 121 visa
On CSL list as a secondary teacher
Applied via paper based method. (Brisbane office)
Paperwork arrived last Friday...approved this Friday

MUCH faster than I ever anticipated! No communication with them other than the approval e-mail this morning.

Looks like they really are prioritising according to the lists published. Even so, I had been expecting a few months wait.

5 days for a permanent residency visa, if only my visa were that fast I would have been in Australia already :P

Re: Permanent Visa Grant (in 5 days!)
 

most probably they were frontloaded

wishing the very best of future in Australia to the OP :thumbsup:

Thats good news.... I am changing my 175 to ENS and my Employers Auditing/Accounting company who also deal with Business migration as part of it's services told me that they have had complete applications granted in 2 Days recently.

On the other hand I have told them to put the ENS application on hold for a few weeks as I have someone checking the progress of my 175 and I might not require to go through ENS at all.
