Hi! My Australian BF is patiently awaiting the results of his DTV application in Sydney… has anyone done this too? He is a remote worker, freelancer so not going through the muy thai/cooking pathway. 

If so, how long was your wait period….until you found out? They requested some extra documents but now I think it’s in the review processing phase… we hope!

And also… anyone been rejected? 

🙏🏼

One user reported their wait took 12 days, while another experienced a 2-week wait. It's noted that specific requirements, such as providing a resume and employer confirmation for remote workers, may also affect processing times.
