Congrats to everyone who have got their PRs!

As for those who are still waiting, I know how you feel coz I have been there... hang in there!!!

So sorry to hear that.

I agree with blossom and move2, to buy time, try 457. You should also consult an immigration lawyer too.

Your other option is apply for new 187 visa with new employer if still eligible like English etc. But you have to go through the whole proles again. Like Blossom mentioned you can try 457 for buying some time for this.

Congrats!!! So happy for you

So sorry to hear that!

My case was same ...nomination got rejected after 9 months from SA.....it was a roadhouse and CO said its more like a fast food menu .. ...I wasted over a y

ear to hear that stupid decision ....

 

​

Same like blossom79, I too will be applying for it once I have had my PR for 1 year. Blossom79, when will your 1 year be? Tell me all about it once you apply coz I am heading down the same lane. Thanks!!!

Yes, after one year, in your situation you can apply for citizenship. However, this can take months to actually get.

 

One person did post a little while ago that they were on a rsms and had applied for citizenship and had been told that they could not go for their test as they had left the employer before the two years were up. Not very helpfully, that is all they said, and never answered any of the questions we asked to work out what had happened.

 

But yes, as soon as I have had my pr for a year I will be applying!

So sorry to hear that!

Hang in there...there should be another visa which you can take...stay calm and think things through..

​

Hi i got my pre-grant letter yesterday, booked my flights and accommodation, bags packed, was supposed to leave tomorrow morning and just got a call from my co today saying sorry your visa cannot be granted as your company has been liquidated (to my surprise). checked with my boss and the head office which confirmed this, no one informed me about the liquidation and the head office mailed the co straight. I am devastated and don't know what to do.......

CONGRATS to everyone who got their visa granted!!! :biggrin:

Blossom79 - CONGRATS on your new status!!! Awesome news!!! You deserve it, girl!!!

Congrats!!! Awesome news!!!

Timeline 187 Visa DRC Perth lodged & acknowledged 17th Dec

Granted 10th May

 

No notice that a CO was assigned just email from agent to say it was granted!!

​Good luck everyone.

Congrats!!! Awesome news!!!

Hi everyone, just got an email from my case officer that the nomination has been approved, finallyyyy good news after soooo long!

I agree with blosson79. Hang in there!!!

Sonic, I totally agree, and have done the whole way through this process that it is not fair or right the way immigration processes the rsms visa. For other visas it is much more structured.

The requirement for the Adelaide rcb to advertise in seek etc is not new. My job was advertised two years ago now, and that was the requirements then. We were told two websites, one of which should be seek.com and the advertiser, for one month. The other website could be an industry one.

​

I totally agree also about immigration not adding a 'your visa will take longer than normal' bit on the acknowledgement letters. They knew in June that applications were going to get delayed and didn't add it to anyone's letters, just on their website.

It was however on their website and email updates way before you applied, and I would be shocked if your agent didn't know about it.

 

Tecnically immigration are not supposed to give out any info to you or your employer if you have a migration agent. Only the migration agent. And most on the phone lines don't really know what they are talking about. I personally don't think you will be waiting for too much longer. You are category 1, low risk country, you will be fine.

 

Just wait though, when you get your visa you will feel like a different person! I actually kept randomly crying for about two weeks. One of the really odd things I noticed was that I was randomly singing to myself as I went about my day. Not unusual for the me of two years before, but the me waiting for the visa just hadn't been free enough. It is a great feeling, and you will be there soon enough.

Congrats!!! Wohoo!!!

​

Yipeeee.......our visas have come through this morning :laugh:

Hang in there! We all have been through this road before and it was a rocky one! I for one waited more than 10 months for my PR.

Hang in there, ok?

Cheers!

​

Further to all of this, I just received an e-mail from my employer stating the following:

 

I phoned DIAC Melbourne PSE Office (131 881) again today for a further check and this time I was informed the following:

 

1.

That I should not have been informed by other DIAC staff that there is a 2 month for nomination review and 5 months for application review. And, that I should work on the basis that the entire process takes 6-9 months from date of lodgement. Meaning that if the lodgement was in September 2012, the visa should be issued by June this year (if there are no issues).

 

2.

They advised that there has been no case officer assigned to this nomination according to their system and that if a case officer had been assigned then our migration agent would have received an email informing him of this

 

 

 

My employer then contacted the office of my MA and they forwarded an e-mail to my employer with the contact details of the case officer.

 

I'm actually disgusted by the inconsistency of information provided by DIAC. How could they say that no case officer has been assigned when we now have an e-mail from my MA with the case officers details!?

 

Well anyway, my MA is apparently ill at the moment and his assistant will be back in the office on Wednesday. So my employer is going to wait until then, and if there is no movement then he will contact the case officer himself to see where we're at... And as they're saying 6-9 months from the date of lodgement, that leaves a mere 25 days until 9 months...... This is enough for me to chill out a bit for the weekend.

Congrats!!! That's awesome news!!!!
