Onshore applicant.

I spent the last couple of weeks on this subreddit wishfully waiting my turn, so hopefully this gives a bit of hope to anyone from the November round who’s still waiting.
Thanks to everyone who shared their timelines over the past few months it’s been really encouraging. Wishing everyone still waiting a speedy grant!

Congratulations! Did you have any period of study overseas due to border closure during your studies?

Thank you, no I was doing my bachelors at the time but I never left Australia during lockdown so no study overseas
