Not sure how long it is taking for appeals processes today, but when I had my meeting with the Director of the MOM a couple of years ago (via invitation through PM on this site) regarding the speeding up of appeals, it was taking around 6 weeks to 3 months. They had it down to around 6 weeks but since the elections, as rejections have ramped up, I'm assuming appeals, for the most part useless unless some major was not included in the original application, will probably have lengthened as well. So if you have 6 weeks, no need to worry yet. Anyway, the odds of an appeal being successful, short of you being given a 100% raise and/or a new position (vertical) along with the salary and responsibilities (e.g., not in name only), are slim anyway.
The original rejection will remain until or unless the appeal is successful. It will not normally turn into 'pending' as it isn't. It's rejected. IF the appeal is successful, then it will change to approved. But it that happens, you will probably know it before it's changed online anyway.
If you went to Uni here and were given a invitation to apply for PR while still in Uni and you didn't take them up on it, you will find that they are very vindictive when you rub their noses in their offer if you change your mind at a later date. Very difficult.
