Hello Community,

After 14 months of EOI, I got my grant!!
I never lost the hope of getting it and this forum tremendously helped in keeping the lights on.
My profile was also not as impressive as many of you have. I spent few years in Australia and other countries but I am with a bachelors degree with no international papers or PhD. My Pitch deck was very strong and I tried to submit an evidence against each and every claim I made in my application and guess that worked.

Reason for delay-

I started my application in Jan 2020 and got my uid within two weeks and submitted additional documents also but then COVID happened, I still had to get pcc from 3-4 countries and that’s when they announced lockdown. It was a difficult and frustrating time for me.
The department was very responsive and considerate to my follow ups and request for time extensions.
I had a grant ready application from last 3 months but since I was outside Australia it was technically not possible for department to grant. Recently they streamlined rules for 858 and presence in Australia during grant is no more a requirement.
Congratulations GBSINGH, that's a great news.

Hi all,

I am new in the forum. I am a Phd student in my final year likely to complete my course by end of December, 2021. Would you mind to advice whether I start filing my EoI or wait till June, 2021 to fulfill the 6 month period due for completion of the course criteria. Thank You
Wait till you are able to provide formal evidence that you will submit your thesis soon (this should include a copy of a full academic transcript and letter from your university detailing the submission date of your thesis. Your PhD supervisor may also provide a letter confirming that you will submit your thesis within six months).
Now is a little too soon and you might be deemed as ineligible.

Great.. Congratulations..
 
Hi Everyone, I am working as an associate director in a Big4 consulting firm in energy domain. I am part of high impact international projects mostly funded by leading development banks. Most of the projects are long term and ongoing. In such a case How can I showcase my experience and credentials? Because getting a recommendation letter from these agencies before project completion is extremely difficult.
Would a letter from my director mentioning my association with these projects be suffice? Any other way to highlight?

I will request your expert opinion pl.
