G’day folks.

The day has finally come. Just been informed my 186 PR has been granted!!

Feels like it has taken an eternity. Started the process last June, but with my company’s HR department being generally useless it took until November for them to get the application in and there was another month’s delay when they hadn’t uploaded any docs with it. Kicking myself I waited until the nomination came through but that’s life.

Good luck to everyone still waiting!!

Freedom!!! Haha!!!

Agreed, they will take 4 month for those who haven't granted nominations and 3 month for those who's nomin already granted (only for visa applicaions)

 

I guess, you will get it by end of this week.

Hi Shriniwas,

I don’t believe it’s quicker if you have your nomination already approved. There appears to be a couple of us who applied late April after the nomination was approved who are still waiting. In fact, it almost seems like it takes longer to approve if the nomination is already in place.

Hey Eddy

Is your status still 'application received'? I wonder how long it will take once they allocate it to someone> Hopefully it is quite straightforward seen as the nomination is already approved.....

Yes, still says 'application recieved'. Hasn't changed since 30 April. Hopefully it gets approved in the next week or so. I'll be gutted if they ask for more info and I lose another month. Been waiting over a year (June '14) since I first started the process when I enquired with work about getting sponsored.

Hi Mera

I am waiting from 28 April. I am visa only - nomination already approved - but they seem to be processing nomination and visa quicker....

Hi. I'm almost in the same boat. Nomination approved before visa app on 30 April. It's been a hell of a long wait and still nothing.

Eddy

Anyone knows how to link Employer Nomination to Visa application? I want to know if the nomination has been approved.

 

Thank you.

Hi.

I believe you need to get your employer to share this information via their account. It's not something you can just do by entering your nomination TRN. Annoyingly there is absolutely nothing about this on the immi website. I queried this with immi and was told that the employer nomination can include sensitive information which the employer may not wish you to see.

It would be good if you could see some basic info about the employer app though. I was told by my employer's HR dept that they had made the application 8 weeks before they really did! Only found this out when they sent me the approval confirmation letter. The wait was driving me insane, believing it had gone in 2 months earlier certainly didn't help.

Good luck with your app!

Eddy

G'day.

Does anyone know how to import a nomination into myimmi? I have the TRN number from my employer but when I try to import the application I get an error message saying "This type of application cannot be imported". Can't find anything about this on the web. Any thoughts?

To add to the thread, nomination went in on 08 October. As far as I'm aware from my HR department there's been no movement whatsoever. Painful to say the least as I'm waiting for the nomination to be approved before I apply for PR.

Cheers,
