as long as you have what they need you will get it in time

It would depend. I processed it online Dec. 29. Had my medical examination Jan. 9 and got it this afternoon, Jan 21 They would say it would take a minimum (I think) of 6 weeks but I got mine in 3 weeks+

whoa. that long? i thought it was less than a week. thanks for the info!!

well, in their site it will take 6 weeks if we are to undergo a medical examination. It is my first time to apply for visa online. I have to wait because of the long holiday. The embassy was closed from Dec 25 to Jan 5. Earliest time my clinic in Cebu can offer was Jan 9, so I took it. Cebu had a long holiday as well because of the Sinulog festival, it delayed sending my results to the embassy. I checked emedical and I've seen that the embassy got my med results on the Jan 15. I think if you can do the medical examination as early as possible you will get your visa in a shorter time.

Hi! Anyone here who just had her/his visa (subclass600-business stream) approved? How long did it take for your visa to arrive? Thank you!

Hi guys, I received my letter from aphra but I don't know which intake to take. By May, I will have 5 yrs working experience but I also want to start the BP asap. Do you think it matters to have 5 yrs work experience when you apply for skilled migration? Will it help speed up the PR application process?

Hi I'm so sorry for the ignorance, (I promise to scan through the previous messages), but I want to ask those who just received their LOEs ,what month and year did you file your application. I completed mine last September and the last email I got from my RO states that my application has now progressed to a national processing team.

I submitted mine last December 2013 and waited 13 long months before I received that precious LOE. Be prepared and have enough patience. Goodluck and Godbless!😊

more than 5 years exp will get you more points in your PR application, but no idea if it will speed up the process.

perhaps someone here who has been granted PR can comment?
