Hi everyone, I just moved from Italy to Australia and I would like to move my savings downunder. I know there is a pomsinoz partner and I will difinitely have a look at their service but I would also like to get a broader view before asking them as it is quite a considerable amount (at least for my finance). The bank to bank does not seem to be a good solution. Have anyone transferred money from euro to aus dollars recently? Did you benchmark the exchange rates and services offered on the market? I have never used this kind of service and I am quite concerned to put most of my saving in an account I do not know. Cheers

Visa granted today, lodged on the 31 may 2012 acknowledgment letter 6 june 2012 Paramatta NOT DRC Low risk Good luck to everybody.

Hi, I have one question. I lodged on the 31st May a 119 not DRC in Paramatta. I am tempted to pack my things and start moving to Australia but I do not know if this is risky for my visa approval. Does anyone know if they can reject my visa only because I am onshore when it is granted? If I get my visa approved when I am in Australia I have to leave the country (to any other abroad country and also for one day) and fly back in?

I applied in Paramatta 119 Not DRC and have got the nomination approval on the 7th November. Since then no news.

Hi sullyosullivan, I am low risk, not drc, 119 offshore and I lodged in Paramatta on the 31st May but still no news. I think a couple of other persons in this thread are in my situation. I hope they will overcome this backlog soon but seems many pending applications are still from May. Did anyone ever tried to call the Paramatta office center on its own to get an unpadte? I would like to ask for some update on my case but do not know which number to call. Did anyone

Hi, and congratulations. There is something I cannot understand. When I call the European contact center and ask if I have a CO allocated they always tell me that this kind of visa (119) does not have a single CO but a number of them rotate for the approval process. And that several COs have already worked at my application. I lodged on the 31 May not DRC, Paramatta, low risk country. Got my nomination approval on the 7th November and no news from that date. I thought the nomination approval meant I was almost there but does not seem to be true as already two months have gone from it. Does anyone in a similar situation as mine has any news?

Hi, I received the nomination approval on the 7th november but in the last 40 days no news. Is anyone in the same situation? Do you know when the immi office is going to be closed for the holidays?

Hi Avvy, which immi center is it? Malbourne, perth or paramatta? Was it a 119? I lodged my 119 in paramatta on the 31st, non drc, low risk and I am still waiting. I know I have a co from beginning of november but no formal news.

Paramatta

Hi everybody, I lodged my application end of May not drc and low risk. I was told by my employer that he received by the CO the approval for my professional position and that they are currently processing the permanent residence part. Does anyone know how long it will take to get also this part processed?

Hi pollen, i have wife and two kids. i got an email from paramatta asking to get a new birth certificate for one of my kids, i thought they were working at my case. I was tlod from the london phone number that more than one co was adding remarks to my case therefore i was positive. I was also tlod that soon i should hear some news but i do not know if they are much into the timelines from the european contact center. I will keep u informed and please do the same

Thanks Tarrat, I lodged my application on the 31st May and this date is also reported by the immi office in the ack letter I received on the 2nd June. Is it sufficient to have an estimated timeline? I thought I was almost there but every time I know something to get it postponed. Thanks again

Hi, My application is a 119 RSMS not-DRC (no MA) in Paramatta and I received the acknowledgment letter on the 2nd June 2012. I am still waiting. I hope I will know something in the next couple of weeks. Does anyone know what is the difference (in terms of approval time) between DRC and not-DRC? I see that the DRC from 12 June were granted and I would like to understand if the not DRC will follow by weeks or months. Is there anyone else with my timeline? Which should be my waiting time expectation?

Hi, I sent my application on 28th may, I got an email in August asking for the health exam, I sent the early September but did noy get any feedback so far. I have two question: - Which phone number do you ring? i am in Europe but here they do not tell you anything about the progress of your application. Do you call a local number on the Australian migration office? - what is this form80? I applied without any MA and I have never heard of it. I was never asked to provide it? Should I send it just in case...

Hi BevCork, I applied in Paramatta and they forgot to attach the ehealth list, I wrote twice and after 2,5 months I received the ehealth list.I will do the health exams asap. I also had the wrong DOB for my daughter but in this case it was my mistake: I sent copies for birth certificate and the passport with the right DOB but in the ES47 form I wrote the wrong month and they took the dato of birth from the form rather than from the documents. I wrote twice to get in corrected since May but no answer. What did you do to get the DOB corrected? Cheers
