    What you propose is possible but time critical.

    There are some issues with your plan. 1) You may have difficulty re entering Australia on a visitor visa, straight after you have been here for 12 months on a working holiday visa. They may not believe that you are a genuine tourist and turn you around at the border; 2) If you do get in on a visitor visa and manage to lodge a 189 visa, the associated bridging visa will not come into effect until the visitor visa expires. As such you will have to wait some time until you have any work rights.

    Yes, we are all very stupid and desperate. We will do extensive research, give a professional opinion, which we will be liable for, if you "pretend you are looking at paying". The saying "you get what you pay for" comes to mind.

    This is quite a complex and specific question which you are unlikely to obtain useful answers to on a public forum. There is more than just picking an occupations based on the name of your qualifications. You will need to carefully research the ANZSCO description of each occupation against your transcripts and each assessing authorities' requirements. A professional opinion may be a wise option.

    No. An EOI is simply a claim of the score that the applicant believes they have. The visa application is where the claim of points needs to be backed up by evidence and assessed by a case officer. If the points claim on the EOI can not be evidenced or is disputed, the application may fail.

    Voluntary work can count, however, as it is difficult to verify independently, it can be problematic. If Immigration is not satisfied that the three months of specified regional work has been done, the second Working Holiday visa application may not turned down.

    Each RCB has their own requirements, as such there is no one generic list for all RCBs.
  8. Raul Senise
    That is actually a different application (subclass 157 RRV as opposed to subclass 155). It is for cases where the applicant does not meet the normal requirements but there are compelling and compassionate reason for having to leave Australia.
  9. Raul Senise
    If you meet the standard requirements (2 years in 5) it is fairly straight forward and if successful will be granted for 5 years. If you do not meet the requirements and need to show substantial business, cultural, employment or personal ties of benefit to Australia, it can been more difficult and at times complex. If successful will be granted for 1 year.

    Unfortunately you are asking questions too late. There would have been a way of lodging off shore and then coming back to await processing in Australia. Now all you can do is wait. 3 weeks is nor long for a 457 application. If it was lodged properly with all of the necessary documents, it should not be much longer.

    There are many posts on this thread about checking the progress of your application online. Logging onto your application will not give you any update on the status. It will only show the date that the application was lodged and what documents have been attached. There are no online updates on when a case officer is allocated or what stage the application is at. In most cases there will not be any change until after the application has been approved. If you have used an Agent, they will not give you access to their online account. This is not because they are trying to hide anything, but because it would give you access to all of their other applications, which obviously they cannot do.

    Not an easy situation but you may still be able to get the nomination approved under the temporary transitional pathway if it can be shown that the two companies are associated entities under Section 50AAA of the Corporations Act.

    The 6 month timeframe is just the DIBP “service standard” for this type of visa. As such most enquiries to DIBP in regards to processing before this time are met with the answer: “it is still within the published service standards”. To the Departments credit, most applications are being processed well within this time. As for DRC, Yes, they are supposed to be given priority although again, from experience, this is not always the case and I have seen non DRC applications be processed quicker than DRC in some instances.
  15. Raul Senise
    Just some general advice which I believe is pertinent to this thread. You should not compare your situation and timeline to other as this will only cause you undue stress and worry. There are too many variables with the processing system and it is not so organised that applications are all methodically assessed and approved in accordance to a specified timeline. The Immigration Department looks to process application within their “Service Standards” which for the Subclass 186 is 6 months. Variables which can affect the processing time are many and include: processing office, case officer experience, case officer holidays, country of passport, medicals, character, documents provided, market rate, contracts, occupation nominated, licensing, stream applied under, complexity of application and how well the application has been prepared and presented. From experience I can advise that even very similar applications lodged on the same day and processed at the same office can have very different timelines.

    Processing times for Subclass 186 applications continue to be a bit erratic but are steadily improving again. Specific circumstances of each application will also dictate processing times. Below are a few of my recent approvals to highlight variance in processing times. Nom Lodged 19 June, approved 02 September; Visa lodged 19 June, approved 03 September; Nom Lodged 07 June, approved 09 August; Visa lodged 07 June, approved 09 August; Nom Lodged August 2012, approved 15 May 2013 (Lodged by company themselves); Visa lodged 19 June, approved 26 August; Nom Lodged 18 June, approved 16 August; Visa lodged 18 June, approved 16 August;

    It is part of the Migration Agent details section. Yes, I have done many. All ENS applications since 1 July 2012 have been under the new (e plus) electronic lodgment system.

    The ENS processing is starting to gain momentum although processing times are still a bit erratic. As a guide I have had approvals recently ranging from 6 weeks from date of lodgement (nom and visa) up to about 5 months.
  20. Raul Senise
    Unfortunately there is not a lot of good news to report for 186 application processing at the moment. The new electronic system is causing continuing problems which it is hoped that the pending updates will resolve to some degree. At the moment (this afternoon) the system is not working at all. Order of processing is a bit inconsistent at the moment as I have had some non DRC applications approved before DRC applications lodged at the same time. This was for pre 1 July applications however, so not sure if this will happen under the new system.

    Luca, your post is so childish I will not even attempt to address most of its flaws. You seem to think that if someone else on the forum shares their experience they are spreading misleading rumors, however, your posts are all based on official statements, I think not. Your questioning of my professionalism is frankly offensive. I only post where I can add value, provide useful information or correct obvious or dangerous mistakes. I have no doubt that my posts on this forum over the years have assisted many. The point I was making is that this thread is specifically for members to share their thoughts and experiences on the processing of 186 applications, which is currently very stressful due to system issues. Your post telling people not to post if unsure is counterproductive to this thread and quite pretentious from a Junior Member who has contributed so little. In my initial post I tried to gently show you that your comments to a senior member “It's false your statement… Gosh people, no need to post if unsure....”. were not appropriate or helpful to the theme of this thread. It seems however that you will continue attacking anyone who disagrees with your thoughts on this matter. No need to respond to this post as I remind you that this thread is not about you.
  22. Raul Senise
    I was just amused by your earlier comment. Not at all, however, you criticised others for sharing their thoughts. At the moment there is not a lot to share as the ENS process is; 1) new and 2) currently quite dysfunctional due to the new electronic system not functioning as intended. As such you telling people “Gosh people, no need to post if unsure….” is quite counterproductive to the thread, if you want people to share.
  23. Raul Senise
    Then why are YOU posting so much?

    Skills assessment requirements and DIAC visa requirements are two separate issues. DIAC nominates which assessing authority can assess which occupation. Each assessing authority “independently” decides on the criteria for skills assessment and the document requirements for the assessment. These criteria and document requirements for Skills Assessment are often different to DIAC visa requirements. To further complicate the issue, some assessing authorities can now also give an opinion on employment experience. DIAC can use the assessing authority opinion in regards to employment experience, but they are not bound by this advice. Be mindful that if claiming employment experience for points, the employment experience must be at the appropriate skill level, in most cases this means post qualification.
  25. Raul Senise
    Yes. 6 months from date of nomination approval.
