Ah, another fellow marketeer - congrats hopingfordbest! I'm going Direct Entry Stream-Marketing Specialist...although I'm going cold turkey without the MA. My employer is in the processing of providing further documentation to the CO, and as they put their application in on 19/06/2013, I really should submit my Visa application soon. I'm stalling on the skills assessment though, I'm imagining a 6 hour sit down exam and failing it! Was it a nightmare?

Hi Everyone, I'm in the same boat as you guys, so have been reading your posts with interest - my info is as follows: ENS 186 Occupation: Marketing Specialist Option: ENS 186 Direct Entry Location: Parramatta Timeline: Applied for Nomination - 19th June 2013 (non DRC and no MA) I'm waiting to submit my visa application until the nomination comes through, I don't want to spend $$$ and my company not get their nomination approved. After two months of submitting the nomination, we've received a letter from the case officer asking for some documents which were already uploaded online <sigh!>. We'll send them hard copies with our response to the letter. BUT, they have asked for evidence that the position is currently occupied by a temporary resident - seriously?! Of course it is, they approved my 457 last year! Is this a daft question or am I missing something? Do I just send them a copy of the visa label in my passport?! The letter goes on to say that there is a large demand of applications and they are continuing to receive a large number of applications - good luck to everyone! Cheers, Aussieange
