Hi,

My partner and I submitted an employee sponsored PR application before July 1st, through an agent. I believe the department received an overwhelming amount of applications, and we did get a letter basically saying that they were focussing on putting them in their system, but not really looking at the applications until August.

We received confirmation that the application was received in mid-July, and as far as I understand, once we are allocated a case officer, it should go very fast as it's a decision ready application.

Just wondering if anyone is in a similar situation and has already had a case officer allocated or even received PR? Just trying to get some idea of timeframe as I'm finding it all very frustrating.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Eilish23,

I submitted my application mid June and got the letter to state it was received on the 19 June, it was decsision ready employer sponsored application, like youurs, I got my 856 approval on the 31 July (6 weeks) waiting only, I note you state it was received mid July, by that your after the cut off point as such, so it maybe you applying under the new rules as opposed to old ones, good luck either way
