Expected PR processing time

Fantastic news! Great to see the approval speed is still fast for relevant profiles.

Thank you both. I wasn't fishing for congratulations, though!. I just thought it might be helpful, given that I was prompted to ask the question at the start of this thread, to let people know that the processing time can be as little as 4 months. My timeline was:

2 July: decided that I would apply for PR
2 July: looked for appointment online, disillusioned to see that the earliest available appointment was in November
3 July: looked online again, saw and grabbed an appointment for 16 July
16 July: submitted application and documents
31 October: in-principle approval letter sent out by ICA

Congratulations! (Yeah, I know...) and thanks for updating the thread with your news for the benefit of future readers.
