you have not mentioned if it is 186 DE TRT or Agreement Pathway. It looks like yours is the agreement pathway category - which has a 5-8 month period as of now on the website as well

 

186 - Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186)

Agreement Pathway

5 months

8 months

Oh yes, we are on labour agreement pathway. 

We recently applied for our 186 visa and this is shown on the immiaccount. The estimated waiting time says it between 5-8 months. I wonder why is it different from the time frame indicated on the website? May I know which is more reliable?

Did you submit your application via ImmiOnline? You are supposed to receive HAP ID after filling your Health Assessment form on your application details page, if you haven't had your medical examinations done in the last year.

 

Our MA filled on our behalf so I wasn’t sure what was submitted. However, we received our bridging visa (inactive ) and I wonder if we can apply for our interim Medicare card as well? Thank you for answering my question! Cheers

Hello all,

We just put in our application last week, we didn’t receive any notification of HAP ID for health check. May I know should we wait for IMMI to issue us or can we ask for it? 

Hi all, I have a question on VAC 1 and VAC2 payment. May I know how are these 2 payment being calculated? Is there a fix percentage and does it defers occupation to occupation? Thank you for answering!

Hi, I have 4 years experience in Retail Buyer in oversea. I am currently living in Melbourne. Could you please advice me whether I have any chance to apply for any visa in Australia at the moment? Much appreciate if I can get your contact for asking further information. Thank you so much

It’s best you consult an migration agent as the policy changes all the time. 

Hello there,

May I know how do we add in details for June 2019 nomination/ application details? Only admin can do right?

@dejuvu I'm assuming you mean your 457 visa was granted on the 30/05/2017.
- If so, then unless you have taken more than 3 months unpaid leave during the 2 years, you'd be allowed to lodge your TRT visa on the 30/05/2019. 

It's worth noting that, there is no waiting period for a DE visa (however, you will require a skills assessment).

So yes, you can lodge your visa for PR very soon, if you wish  

Hi Hex,

Yes, our 457 grant was 30/5/2017. I did took paid leave and didn’t take any unpaid leave so that would mean the employer can and will launch the nomination anytime now. Thank you so much.

Hi all, 

can I ask based on trt186 visa (grandfathering policy) , if my visa was approved in 30/5/2017, does it mean that employer can essentially start nomination process on 30/5/ 2019? Thank you in advance. Feeling nervous and excited all at the same time.

Just wondering has anyone here been granted visa without the submission of form 80 or police clearance from your birth country? Besides AFP clearance and health check, I wonder what other checks do I have to prepare before visa application? 

Hi all, I have a question on applying for federal police (AFP) do we need to get our fingerprints and national police check or just a regular police check? Can someone share some thoughts ? Thanks.

Difficult to know where to start without any other details.

What's your situation - DE/TRT route? Occupation? Do you have an employer sponsor ready to submit a nomination? How many applicants, and who are they? Low risk/high risk country?

In regards to health checks and police checks, many would recommend having these in hand ready for when you submit the visa application, to avoid any delays. 12 months is the amount of time they are valid once they are issued.

Depending on your situation there could be several other pieces of the app to gather. Evidence of work, stat dec statements from others, Form 80, evidence of relationships and/or dependants.

It's really not too tricky given a bit of time and research. Have a search around on forums for other peoples checklists, especially if you can find examples of people in the same or similar situation to you. Always refer back to the immigration website info though and study it - other people's accounts of their experiences are good for a guide, but won't always be directly transferable (and they may have missed things!).

Hi there,

Thank you for your response. We a family of 5 from LR country and are under labour agreement( rare but yes...) employed by the same employer for 2 over years and we are a little less hassle than TRT/DE, according to the immi website we just have to gather health checks, police checks ( Australia and overseas )

I just need to know if it’s a better idea to gather my documents before the lodging date As would the website expect us to submit all the documents at once? Thanks for responding.

Hi everyone, 

I am new here. I am looking forward to our visa 186 submission next week. As we are applying without MA, may I know what preparation work should I do for now? I read on the immi website that they advise health checks and police checks to be done prior but I understand they have a 12 months window period. May I get some insights from anyone? Appreciate heaps.

I assume you are from a low risk country. Hence, you do not need to submit your medicals. Most visas are turned down because most some of them submitted an incomplete application(missing documents) or they did not provide sufficient documents of their dependants.

 

If one do not have any criminal record, I think he/she will be fine. My 2 cents.

 

I am also still waiting for a reply from IMMI. Submitted almost a month already.

Hello all,

Good news!  We received our 457 on 9 May 2017.

Timeline

Nomination and Visa Lodged: 15 Dec 2016
Further information requested: 18 April  2017
Documents submitted : 26 April 2017
457 granted : 9 May 2017

- onshore application , low risk country, family of 5.

I know it's been a long wait for some but we did not hear anything from IMMIGRATION department until the morning of 18 April when PM made that press release and we were at least glad the CO asked for extra document and responded positively to our application. 

Our visa was granted 2 weeks thereafter. And it's definitely a relief to our young family. Stay hopeful guys!

congrats.

for how many years ur visa is?

what was ur occupation?

Hi there, 

Our 457 visa grant is for 3 years but we had a prior labour agreement with immigration backdated in 2016 which will eventually lead on to Permanent visa 186 therefore the new change of policy will not affect us. The occupation is minister of religion. 

Cheers.

May I know how long does your labour agreement takes to clear? The website stated it takes around 3months but I hope it takes shorter than that...

2 weeks is surprisingly quick! We just sent in our agreement a few days back. Hopefully it will be as smooth as yours. May I know which agreement are you under and are you applying onshore or offshore?

Thank you MaggieMay24 :-)

Where should I find them????????

I know you are helpless! OK lets see :-)

Hello there, are you still waiting for your visa or have you already planning to apply for labour agreement visa? My husband is in the midst of applying this visa and we feel the same way too that there isn't much help here on the forum.

I am new here and I am on visa 485 now and holds a full time employment for a few months. I would like to ask my employer to nominate me for visa 186 ( direct stream ) may I know if there is a pre-requisite on the employer(HR) to prove to immigration department that they cannot find a suitable employee to fill my role before they can sponsor me in this process. Can someone cast some light to me in this area? Cheers!
