no it was perth, flights booked for the 14th

:shocked: Weve got it .... email at 9.58 this morning saying we are now permenant residents of Australia !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:chatterbox:

:sad: thats awful rangerider, i hope your employer can get things sorted, i dont really understand how they can refuse after the rcb have already approved it, i thought that was the difference between ens and rsms that the rcb got a say

we were asked for form 80's and a form 1229 (consent to grant an australian visa to an under 18). It could be anything as i dont think they check your uploaded documents until the co is appointed, is your case straightforward?

fantastic, thats certainly good news x

Just more info about the post, local advertising etc,we thought that would all have been taken care of when the RCB ok'd the post

Our employers have been asked for more information on the position? They are planning to hire an agent to finalise things, i think they are scared its all going to fall through after all the effort put in. Hopefully the end is in sight. Anything happening for you?

rain now, but atleast all the snow and ice has cleared .

I really feel for you rangerider , its an awful way to live life in limbo. We emailed case officer last night to ask for a current time frame and she told us she couldnt do that as our nomination hadnt been approved yet. id have thought that would be done before requesting for 80's from us

we have a case officer :chatterbox: Email this morning requesting form 80's for us and a form 1229 for Brians son. merry xmas

Communication from Perth office today saying they are now allocating applications up to the first week of July. surely it cant be long now

Just a quick non update from us, its been 12 weeks since diac recieved our employers application and weve heard nothing. :arghh:

hey java we were told that frontloading the application with police checks and medicals and submitting along with the nomination will speed things up. no evidence of that yet though

Congratulations :biggrin:

Hi all.I spoke to our employer in Margaret River today and he informed me he spoke to diac on tues about processing timescale.They have told him it will be 5 months although they have given him the direct number to perth office so he can call them and try and get app fast tracked.

wonderful :biglaugh:

Nothing happening here:no:

Aww congratulations, im not jealous at all :biggrin: 3 weeks 5 days left until i cant fly :arghh:

Tick tock tick tock. I thought we were meant to be priority !!!!

I dont know of any list of employers. What we did was join all the recruitment sites and get the daily emails from them. Also looking on the local newspaper sites and browsing the yellow pages. We emailed everything that was suitable and got very lucky, looks like a great job for my oh in a fantastic area. |Good luck

We have just heard that our employer nomination was recieved on the 6th of August. Working on the premise ive seen that its taking roughly a month to approve nomination hopefully they will here something more this week.

Congratulations :jiggy:

Well come Sunday i need a midwives letter to fly , then i have 6 weeks after that until i cant fly atall. If bubs arrives in uk we will then have a whole new kerfuffel of adding him to the visa, obtaining a passport getting medicals etc. If we have recieved the visa before he arrives but are still in the uk i think thats worse, as i dont think he can be added to our visa after its been granted. and will have to have his own seperate child visa which will cost another $1735. im actually not sure how it works will need to investigate further. Everything is getting a bit close for comfort now

Did you get any answers as to why you didnt here of nomination approval ?

Hi we are RSMS . not much to add to the timelines, we have been in discuassions with our employer since february but things have only recently started moving in the right direction Employer Nomination & 47ES submitted 04/08/2010 (medicals and police checks front loaded)
