No updates, been waiting since June 2018. Fingers crossed we get it soon.

Hi, any news on your application. I applied June 28, 2018, status still 'Received'.

Hi kpactn,

I applied around the same time, 08 June 2018. Still the same status 'received'.
We upload all the necessary docs at the start, but still no word. Patiently waiting.

The last 3 that I have seen on here, from the Philippines, took 18.5, 16.5 and 18.5 months.

A bit different to this time last year when it was only 6.2 and 3.7 months.

I wonder what has changed in Philippine processing.

Hi, we're a week shy of waiting for 18 months. So hopefully we fall within the trend that seems to be about now.

Hello, Gilada.

Any update on your application?

No updates, still waiting. We've now been waiting for 19 1/2 months. We update our application on a monthly basis with new photo's or communication trails and everything is loaded and ready to go. We're just playing the good old waiting game

Thanks for asking!

Hello Gilada. Did someone send you the s56 request for info already?

Hi Rooroo, yes we did! Have just been assigned a case officer and got a request to resubmit medicals as they had expired a while ago, so was waiting for that. Have submitted at the end of last week and now just waiting again.

We're right on the 20 month waiting mark now. Hopefully it all happens quickly now! Fingers Crossed.

Hi all,
Just wanted to update that we finally received the email advising of our PMV 300 visa being granted!! Yay!!
We applied on 08 June 2018 (just over 21 months ago) from Manila
We had everything front loaded with more than enough evidence
We had to resubmit the medical a month ago (it had expired)
We didn't do any phone interviews or speak with a CO
We did use an immigration agent in Australia to act on our behalf.

Finally get to be back together with my partner after an agonisingly long wait (there was plenty of visits, but not enough,in between).

Good luck everyone!
I'm sure we'll all be back on here for the next step in the process.
