I know a person who applied Non DRC at Melbourne on June 29, 2012 ( Money Withdrawn) and did not received any ack. letter so far. He has to send additional documents and he did not have a file number. Thanks

Congratulations blossom79 Your knowledge and information is really valuable to blog. Please do visit blog and guide others when you have time. enjoy your new status.

Blossom Thanks for valuable inputs. Last week of June 2012 non DRC applicants should expects processing time of 9-12 months according to latest update from COE Melbourne. DRC applicants will be procesed 3-5 months.

Hi My friend applied for 119 on June 28 in COE MEL and still waiting for Ackl. letter

pkb84 From July 1-2012 it will be cert III+two year expr. or cert 4 as mentioned in earlier post. Before new changes for RSMS cert III + expr was required.

kayperth The minimum educational requirement for RSMS is Diploma except certain technical trades like Fitter in Group 3 – Technician and trades workers. May be he got wrong advice. Or You have to prove you are an exceptional appointment, like already working on 457 for last two years in same occupation.

Just notes.... Our occupation is cook, region is Perth WA. He and I didn't use MA. I applied 7th June - got visa 14 June. He got the nomination approval letter in june from immi. That means you have non DRC application (no MA) and you you got visa in two weeks. May be I am missing something. Other Non DRC RSMS cases are waiting more than six months now.

Hi If quota is filled remaining applications will be moved to year July 2013-2014 allocation. So, people apllying later this year will be processed after July 2013 due to 9 month processing delay announced.

Is your present employer located in Regional area or new compnay will be in located in regional area or your employer have some kind of record with DIAC many things count. Ofcourse your company have to prove that they are established and actively engaged through finanacial statements etc.

Why somebody have to apply for 119 visa while onshore not 857 visa. What are the conditions like substasive visa or..... Can sombody clarify?

Jazzi87 You do not have to be out of country for RSMS 119 lodgement only at the time of visa grant purposes.

WP you have to make a inquiry from Perth they are already processing, "The Perth Centre of Excellence (COE) RSMS cases which were received on 4 January 2012." Something may be missing like your proper contact info Thanks

Hi Waitng timeframe of 5-8 months is after the lodgement date and not CO assignment. New waiting for CO assign. of 9-11 months will be after late June-2012 lodgement applications.

You are right Blossom79. Some fly by hairdressing and Restaurant businesses raised the alarm. Now DIAC is targetting business with short operating history and few employees.

My friend applied at Mel COE on June 25 for onshore 857 along with nomination application. He received his Ackg letter Monday July 23. I heard from other people who applied in beggining last week of June start getting ackg. letters. This year DIAC received about 30,000 RSMS applications and with quota for 16000, I don't how many people be pushed to July 2013. About 20,000 pending from year 2011-2012 and new one coming it will be waiting game for many or they will use pooled quota from ENS and get away with planning level 16000.

Hi If it is Non DRC application, It will be minimum five months before CO will be assigned based on the results of other posts. For DRC it will be under four weeks. Hold your breath and sit tight.

Hi I received my RSMS 119 (non DRC) visa today April 19- 2012 after long wait. It took exactly 10 months from my date of submission to DIAC, COE Melbourne June 19-2011 to visa grant. In total it is about 15 months from RCB submission. I am from ETA country and non ETA add about two more months. My CO told me 12 processing months are coming due to heavy load of applications.
