Any update here?
Lot of Dec-21 applicants are getting PPR's. One thing I noticed in many posts is they all had their medical updated in Jan-22 and the review started in Mar-22.

Hello,

Mine is re-application (from 1st refusal).
Lodge on Dec 28, 2021, from UAE address. I'm an expat from the Philippines, living/working in Dubai.
Upfront medical updated on Jan 14, 2022

Usually, the next update is the final decision, hopefully, it's good news this time!

I am South African but I am a resident in China so I applied through SDS from within China. Yes, applied with my wife and son. My argument was very strong I do believe but I think that they want to see real very very strong ties to leaving, like I am studying to return to a job or my family is there and I am returning to them but I heard somewhere that applying myself first and then applying for them after would not provide any different result. I might have them as a tie go going back but once I apply for them they will get refused because it affects my argument. Difficult.
