Hi @aussiepr, what happened to your application? Did you use MA? Why it's taking that long? It's been over a year.

Hi @Zee14042016, think that's the exact quote for the automated email response now. It's rough day to day, isn't it? We're caught between a rock and a hard place. Likewise, my employer's MA advised holding off on calls to IMMI (though I was told in JAN to call FEB-end) so maybe it's for our own good?? MA seemed more optimistic and reassured that they will follow up if we still haven't heard from IMMI by a certain date.

Hey @jess6, thanks for sharing your analysis and optimism. The info RE DE seems off so I hope it doesn't happen. You lodged June, right? They seem to be approving Jun-Aug lately. I'm so weary and resigned already. Figure we either get it or we don't, and it happens when it happens..but it doesn't make the extended wait easier.

@badaich89, someone quoted you in their response to zacata and for a moment, I thought you had gotten your PR!

@Gary1985, still no news? Hope you get it soon too. Who knows? Maybe today/tomorrow!

@aussiepr, I cannot believe you're still waiting from SEP-2015! Is it being processed though? What are your details? I can't find you on the spreadsheet - are you using another username?

Congrats @zhj88!

@tuckersgirl sounds like good news - good luck! May I ask if your AFP has already expired? If not, when does it expire? Just wondering if we need to start looking at getting new documents too.

GUYS, the good news is that it's FRIDAY! Plus, 99.95% (wild optimistic guess, haha) of 186 applications get approved...so let's seek comfort in that. Happy weekend!

@Izzielizzie and @badaich89 : My MA reverted after contacting the department with a follow-up because I pushed for it. Here is her response. No of much help, but just in case if it makes you feel any better:

 

" We have been advised the following: We are currently allocating ENS/RSMS cases lodged between March and August 2016, however not all cases in this date range have been allocated. You may be contacted when your case is allocated or if further information is required. Please note that we will not respond to status enquiries.

In light of the above as previously advised we would need to wait till we hear back from the Department. We would strongly recommend you not contacting the Department in any way as this may not be look favourably by the Department.

Unfortunately the Department are severely under-resourced as such the long processing times. No point in stressing."

Hi guys, I just have a question. So I'm 457 transition 186. Immi requested more info from my company (my leave record, last 12 month bank statement, financial report etc.) But the problem is my company actually made a lose last financial year. Will this affect my nomination? ( Marketing specialist)

It may be coz depends on how much lose they made and how many workers currently on 457 visa in company and leave record they ask to see whether u completed two years or no so upload all documents properly with all details

I don't know how much exactly they lost. I'm the only one in the company who is on 457. All of the others are citizens. I'm just a bot worried cause I heard from some MA saying the CO might refuse my nomination because of that.

If it's not a big lose means if according to lose amount still they can afford ur salary package according to contract then it will not b a problem and also as u the only person so then it will not be a problem coz in lose also they need some worker nd u the only on 457 visa so don't worry. Hope for good.

Yeah man..let's just get into the weekend with the the thought that numerous applications were approved this week who are not part of this forum :-).

There is nothing we can do other than waiting. For my the takeaway was to upload certified copy of the passports, form 1221 and form 80 for both main and dependent applicant which my agent didn't ask me to submit.

Have a good one weekend everyone!!

Another quiet day

In two weeks, we should know more about the processing times differences: http://www.border.gov.au/News/Pages/global-visa-and-citizenship-processing-times.aspx

I guess that will clarify the 186 Direct Entry stream situation.

@Izzielizzie I applied late June indeed, I am much more nervous since I am on Bridging visa A, as I need to apply to a Bridging visa B to leave the country which seems to take around 2 weeks to be granted.

I lost my mum 27 months ago, and if I had not been able to jump on a flight when the hospital called me, I would never have had the chance to see her again.

At the moment, my grandma is unwell and it worries me. She raised me and I am pretty close to her so I hope she will feel better soon.

It is pretty traumatising when something tragic happens back home, as it takes over 24hours to travel back to Europe.

We will hopefully know a bit more about the timelines soon: http://www.border.gov.au/News/Pages/global-visa-and-citizenship-processing-times.aspx

I'd be very thankful to be able to travel freely again.

@jess6: All of us has something tied up to our visa outcome. We all are in the same ship. I pray that things work out for you as soon as possible.

Thanks for sharing the news article about publishing of processing times. It will definitely give meaningful insights. Cheers!!

I hope they will take atleast 2 more weeks to complete August applications, as there are many applicants who are still waiting from August.

Nothing actually. When u got ur pr around that time pretty all others also got pr except few of us. Some of them got rejected some are still waiting. Respectively some October november applicant are also are on hold. We are so frustrated that dont post anything on forum anymore. New people will come on the forum ask me same question again and again and again.

I was asked for updated docs which i submitted last year then again no news. Lucky u and all others july aug sept got pr withn 200 days.

Gud mrng everyone.... wish you all happy Monday and let's all pray for a lot of grants this week....[emoji106]#newweek#newhope#wishforprlife#

Still waiting..:wub:

Hi @jess6, thanks for the link. Sorry for your loss - I've experienced first-hand the tragedy of being away from loved ones when they passed. By the way, getting a BVB is not complicated so long as you show them proof - maybe doing that will give you peace of mind.

And yes, just as @syd2016 mentioned, we also have a number of critical things tied up with this visa - too much in fact. If not for that, I wouldn't sweat the long wait.

We're hitting March, I can't believe it - 325 days, nearly 11 months waiting. Hope they catch up with the backlog and that by some miracle, we in fact now have COs assigned to our cases, finally. Getting harder to keep anxiety at bay - struggling to go day to day unless I "forget" it. Tough too, seeing others still waiting from SEP, NOV 2015 and early 2016. Hope you all get your PR grants very soon.

Meantime, new week, new glimmer of hope! Here we go, let's get our PRs this week!
