I went for my 6-month extension last week and queried when I would get PR. The officer laughed and said she didn't know but she looked up my application in the big ledger and said my application has passed all the requirements and was waiting for signature. In the ledger, there are various stamps in the last column of my application, presumably for various requirements.

Actually this kind of update is very useful for PR applicants who have been waiting many years for approval and are keen for any news on their applications, so thank you very much thaiowl for letting us know the latest from immigration. I hope others will continue to do so.

As no applications were accepted in 2010 I feel that some changes are in the pipeline. Whether these potential changes will benefit new applicants I have no idea, but I assume it will not effect applications from 2006-2009.

Let's hope we have some good news in 2011!
