    Default SMC resident visa application online status mystery....

    Hi All...just wondering when we check online under decision column..does it always shows "pending" right from the beginning or it changes with progress of the process...just want to figure out if Pending means anywhere closer to the destination or is it just another synonym for processing... INZ says i do not even have a CO yet and my file is in managed queue...meanwhile i have applied for renewal of my work visa under employer assisted post study category ....now i have 2 applications to worry about...please share your experiences...

    Hi there, my application has shown pending throughout the waiting and CO assessment period (i.e. hadn't changed when the CO was allocated). It changed to 'Approved' when the final decision had been made. A week later I received email with Migrant fee payment instructions.

    You're welcome. I know how irritating the wait is - it's hard not to be stressed when you don't know what or when the outcome will be. Good luck with your application(s).
