Congratulations GBSINGH, that's a great news.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.
