Hi hoping someone can answer!! our nomination for ENS186 (TRT) has been lodged since August, we still havent heard whether it has been approved but we now have to lodge our visa application as our 457 ends in 7 days :wideeyed::wideeyed: So we have done the visa application on our immi account and used the TRN number for the nomination application is this correct? Will this then get matched with the nomination? Also we have all the details for the nomination (we have acknowledgement letter for application from my husbands employer)...... are we able to import this application to our immi account so we can monitor it ourselves???? If we are able to import the application are you able to see the details, or only the status of the application?? I know we cannot alter the application or speak with immigration about it, it feels like we are completely int he dark at times.... Many Thnaks please any answers wouldbe great i am havign minor panic attacks ........

yes we have no choice to lodge unfortunately. My husbands employer have employed him on a 457 for three years so hoping there wont be any issues with the nomination unfortunately that is his employers department not ours

no we are doing it ourselves, we already have the acknowledgement letter from the nomination (my husbands employer gave us a copy) the process itself for the visa applicaiton is really simple as we are temporary residence transition it is fairly straightforward. so we didnt see the point in a migration agent....we have just been screwed over by the ridicuously slow pace that immigration seem to be working at

hi everyone those who have submitted their visa application, how long did it take for you to receive youR acknowledgement letter?? our 457 expires in two weeks, our nomination has been in since beginning of august. we didnt want to submit ourvisa applicaiton until nomination approved but we are now in the position where we must submit in orderto get the bridging visa. just wondering once you have submitted it how long it takes to get the letter as that has your bridging visa details on? or is a bridge visa automatically generated on submitting and finalising the application for a 186? im sorry for asking these questions but we are understandably quite stressed after having been told our nomination would have been approved by end of 2015. and now we are in this awful predicament whereby we have to submit at the risk of losing our hard earned money. it makes us really uneasy to lodge our applcation without nomination approval as if it gets declined we lose $6300. but we have no choice now we have waited as long as we possibly can we have done the application and it is all ready to go now

no necessarily, that is the maximum you can get them for. they can be granted for less. no idea why ours has been though as the job my husband has was permanent from the word go.

hi I posted this on the 186 timeline but its a reallt busy thread and i think my post may get lost a little,so i have repeated here i hope that is ok, please advise if not. we are currently on a 457 visa which expires 31/01/16. our nomination was submitted from my husbands employer at beginning of august, at this point we were not worried as nominations were taking 4-5 months to be approved so we would still have a couple of months to submit our visa application, alas immigration seem to be on a long term holiday at the moment we are obviously still waiting now and it is January so need to do something as we are literally running out of time on our 457. we were trying to wait until our nomination was approved to lodge our visa..... but its looking now like we will have to sumbit our visa without nomination been granted so we can obtain a bridging visa, something we didnt really want to do in case for some reason the nomination is declined and we lose all our money. We have paid for the visa process so have savedhard and really dont want to lose our money. our 457 was only granted for a three year period,( i have no idea why before i get questioned) as this has made things really really tight for us. just in case anyone wonders why we have left it so late. we had some personal circumstances that prevented us approaching my husbands employer about permanent residency earlier, until July we were uncertain whether we would need to be heading back to uk. anyway......... just a couple f questions re the TRT ens 186 application online.......almost done but a couple of things .... question 11 re skills assessment....asks if my husband has a skills assessment TRT dont need one do they?? so do we just click no on that one? those that are doing temp resident transition, is that what you did?? and do we have to fill in form 80, scan and attach as part of our application? regards qualifications, does my husband attach copies of these at end of application process? I have seen someone on the ENS timeline yesterday did a SEPTEMBER nomination and the nomination already been approved..... should my husbands employer be contacting immigration now, I was under the impression that they hadnt even looked at July yet. or is that for nominations and visa applictions submitted together?? argh sorry somany questions and feeling rather stressed out with it all. please if anyone can answer any of these questions i would be so grateful.

I will fill in the timeline spreadsheet thingy in due course. just a couple f questions re the TRT ens 186 application online.......almost done but a couple of things .... question 11 re skills assessment....asks if my husband has a skills assessment TRT dont need one do they?? so do we just click no on that one? those that are doing temp resident transition, is that what you did?? and do we have to fill in form 80, scan and attach as part of our application? regards qualifications, does my husband attach copies of these at end of application process?

thanks..... how do you do it through your immi account? my husband has an immi account and myself and my son are tagging onto his visa application through his account.....so we dont have our own accounts. do i need to set up an immi account for my son?

Hi there My son has recently had his passport renewed and has a new passport number as a result...... do i need to call immigration to update his details? Or is there a form I need to complete for him? Many thanks

hi there im having a slight panic! we are currently on a 457 visa having just completed our two years and my hubbys employer is happy to sponsor on the ENS (186) transition stream. our current visa has a very random expiry of 31 jan 2016 (which means they gave us 2 and a bit years on out visa, anyway.....) the employer is new to the whole sponsorhsip thing so are takign their time getting ready for the nomination part.......... At what point does a bridging visa get granted, is it when the nomination is lodged or when we lodge our part of the application? and can we lodge our part without the nomination being approved (i know this would not be recommended but it in desperate times) if we did this w may then be able to obtain a bridging visa? im just having a slight panic that the nomination may nt be approved beofe the visa expires, what would happen in this case does anyone know? also when the employer does the nomiation is that purely for the position and then we make our application using the ID number? or, do they need to nominate our whole family in the first instance and put all our details in the nomination? before anyone says we have left it late,we couldnt do it any earlier as we have only just hit the two year mark thank u!

hi hope someine can advise me. i have been in australia now for 1.5 years on my husbands 457 visa we are currently applying for PR. i have had a career break whilst here to settle our little boy in but am now in process of commencing APHRA registration. i am dip/he qualfied with two BSc degrees at 2:1 so crossing my fingers im elligible!!! anyway, i was windering what the likelihood is of obtaining work as a care assistant while i await a decision from AHPRA, has anyone done this??
