Great news, congratulations. Any tips to pass on? I thought you had to work for an employer for several years onshore, before this route, so any advice will be welcome. Again well done, so good to hear any good news for any one who has gone the student route.

Thanks guys, its been a difficult route via the wonderful student visa restrictions!!!!!, and yesterday was a cracking day, just like our heads this morning..
We had assumed after the 572 we had to apply for the graduate visa and then more poxy school fees, job ready test etc, but managed to get PR via the ENS 856 using exceptional circumstances regarding the 3-yr work experience requirement.
Its been difficult as originally refused, actually over the last 3wks our ENS was rejected twice but appealed their decision, last week immigration also sent two inspectors to my employers to review our exceptional circumstance argument and then we heard the fantastic news yesterday it had been granted... yipeeee..
We wish you all so much luck and its a struggle but keep battling forward.
