Wow guys! that's really great for you.

I also applied TWP for Special Category in IT and no LMO at all. So I'm kinda worried.

I got med referral a week after my docs were submitted, and had my medical exam (went fine) and submitted to MCE last week.

I'm waiting for their feedback.

Do you think there's unexpected additional documents they would ask? What was your experience? Especially to aanbaan and accreddy.

I really appreciate your responses. You enlightened me.

God Bless!

at that time, my experience was a little less than 3 years... but that doesn't matter... we keep sending ppl from my company with 1 year experience as well.. should not be an issue.. the important thing is a Job offer...

Yeah I really hope everything goes fine.

After your medical results submitted, like how many weeks did you wait for the visa approval?

Hello again guys.

Since you used Special Category in IT. Did you ever had an LMO when you applied for work permit?



Hope to hear from you.

Thanks!
