Hi Everybody i have good news to share my application has been allocated to CO :biggrin: My MA got Email this morning from Parramatta centre

my MA also telling same story

hi surflen22 u r not far from getting a case officer ,,,i think its just matter of couple of days ,,wish u luck

hi guys any update on Current Processing Dates??

no TRN number for paper applications ,,you just get an permission request ID

hi veenameena not sure whether they do internal security checks for India or not,,,but they do it for countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, some middle east countries ,,,i dont know the process and procedure but it will delay your grant at least 2 to 3 months

Hi friends, my visa was also DRC. we got nomination approval on 9th march then wait one month and contact to case officer on 10th of April than he said he will be assessing my file this week but no response untill 26th of april, so my MA contact with him again. CO said he is on holidays untill july, so contact in office than my MA phoned in DIAC and they said your application has been realocated to the new case officer and also send his contact detail. we wait one week more but no any response then send email to case officer on 10th of May and he said that he is already processing my application but not ready for decision yet. once he make decision then let you know, so don't send any other mail to relation with this file. This is my story. i am really stressed. hi veenameena i think in your case CO is going through internal security checks ,,which HR country are you from? if u dont mind ,,all the best

hi jaskiratsingh if i were you i would request my employer to withdraw the nomination application you already have with immi and lodge a fresh nomination +visa application at same time as DRC .....you can withdraw any application any time no charges for that ...hope it helps

In this case why don't you apply nomination and visa both at same time as DRC.....to apply drc visa u don't need nomination approved in advance...both applications same time can be done DRC

its canberra Applications submitted after 1 May 2012 are unlikely to be processed before the changes commence. Applicants who are not processed before the changes commence will need to complete a new application under the new skilled migration visa regime from 1 July 2012.

Canberra RCB closing new applications from 1st may

[h=1]Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS)[/h][h=2]Due to changes to the RSMS program starting from the 1 July 2012 any application received after the COB 31st May 2012 will not be processed until 16th July 2012.

hi sandhu i visited all the RCB websites most of them will stop talking applications in MAY The Australian Government has made changes to the skilled migration visa regime, which are scheduled to commence from 1 July 2012. Due to these changes, the ACT Government advises that 'complete' applications (hard copy) should be lodged with our office by 1 May 2012 in order to be processed before the changes come into effect. Applications submitted after 1 May 2012 are unlikely to be processed before the changes commence. Applicants who are not processed before the changes commence will need to complete a new application under the new skilled migration visa regime from 1 July 2012. http://www.business.act.gov.au/skilled_and_business_migration/employer-sponsored_migration

hi guys i think DIAC will be able to speed up process for RSMS now as most of regional bodies stop taking new applications from may due to employer visa reform ...it will reduce applications flow to DIAC ....

hi sandu Once case officer allocated he/she provide you contact details like email and phone number
