I applied as a civil engineer. I'm American but started the visa application while living in Ireland. Visa granted once I moved back to the States.

14/10/2008 - Application Received, processing commenced
I submitted my medicals and police checks in November (some prefer to wait until the CO requests them)
They updated that my medicals were received (the page has changed so I don't have the date but it was shortly after I sent them).
Then it was a Loooooong wait.
21/5/2009 Application Being Processed further (all of my documents were then marked and dated as 'met' on the document checklist)
02/07/2009 175 visa granted.
