Mate I would get a definite answer from DIAC/Immi on this in your situation. The reason I ask this is that when you lodge Visa applications , somewhere in the form it states you need to notify Immigration of your travel (and of course hold a visa to return). My question lie's more along the lines of : 1. Can you apply onshore 2. Then leave permanently till such time the approval comes through with no impact to the processing of the visa. Reason being on your application you state current address, employment etc as being in Australia and leaving technically means "change of circumstances"

Hi guys, Since July 2012, there is no separate subclass for onshore/offshore. Very simply put, after a successful Visa application (189) visa what if the applicant decides to move back home and wait for the approval? i.e. Applied for 189 on the 457, resigned job and returned home awaiting approval. Thanks Bonza

Most definitely. Skills Assessment scrutiny is a different matter all together. As I see it there is no points requirement for the ENS186 but simply the need to demonstrate "3 years - employment experience at the appropriate skill level, in most cases post qualification." Thanks Raul!!! I am going to bite the bullet and submit the skills assessment with just the latest work-ex history I've got to speed things up. DIAC can recieve the whole shebang (I earlier submitted this for my 457 and I reckon it was sufficient as I received my 457 in under 10 days:) ). cheers Bonza

Thanks mate. What do others think on this subject? cheers Bonza!

Agreed! 3 years work experience requirement is from DIAC. For this I will submit : --Appointment letter --Exit letter --Recommendation letter from employer (verification) --Copy of contract (if available) The above is all overseas work-ex. For VETASSESS I need only 1 year relevant work experience highly relevant to my area of study.I have : --Master of Marketing from University of Sydney --19 months Australian work-ex as a Marketing consultant So what Im getting at is I dont want to submit my overseas work-ex to VETASSESS(for faster processing) but I will submit enough for my Positive assessment. I will submit the overseas work-ex only to DIAC to fulfill the 3 year rule. Does that seem ok? As it doesnt explicitly state anywhere that DIAC will only consider work-ex if assessed by VETASSESS. For example for my 457 visa I submitted all my work-ex without an assessment. What do you mean?

You have already helped a fair bit earlier on, thanks

Hi Guys, Some feedback please? For your ENS186 (direct entry) 1. Who was the assessing authority? 2. How many years of your work-ex was assessed by the authority? 3. In relation to #2 for the 3 years work-ex requirement for DIAC, does that have to be assessed or you can submit the original employment letters regardless of whether it was assessed or not? Thanks Bonza

It is very clear Onshore - Medicals / PCC needs to be lodged at the time of the application (upfront) Offshore - Proof of having applied for PCC can suffice until further requested. If you have your TRN from the nomination stage you can proceed to apply for the medicals, similar to what happens for your 457.

Turned out like i said! Keep us posted with the updates!

Who on here used VETASSESS recently (i.e. July onwards) what has been the experience?
-
Sithmn, on average we saw upto 4-5 weeks for approval of nomination and then you have 6 months to lodge your application. Good luck

How long is a piece of string Give us a few more details, even there it is a GUESSTIMATE 1. Is it a DRC application ? 2. Did you submit your nomination + visa application together? 3. Please confirm 186 Direct Entry or Transition ? 4. Which office did you apply? (Parramatta etc) Regarding the visa process (not nomination) : Current time frames being reported for DRC is approximately 16 weeks for CO allocation + 2 weeks for approval. There was a post here : http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/145008-drc-rsms-ens-timeline-51.html#post1935977130 Applied 29/6 under DRC Employer Nomination had was approved in 13 weeks.
-
Thank you. There was a mention on another thread that DRC is now taking 12 weeks for CO allocation and further 1-2 weeks for approval. Just got to stay positive! Not much else we can do
-
Based on this it looks like DRC aren't really any sort of priority anymore, it is luck of the draw!
-
Cheers mate. Can a nomination be lodged + approved and then a DRC visa application submitted subsequently. i.e. No mandate that nomination+visa application needs to be all lodged together for DRC? Also what is the maximum timeframe between submitted/approved nomination and when an individual can lodge their visa application? Thats a bit of a let down but atleast we have some timeframes. Good luck maybe you will be one of those random, instant approvals
-
Great news! Is there a reason you are awaiting approval? I was under the impression once you have the TRN# for the nomination you can apply? Good luck! Bonza

Will keep a keen eye on this thread... I hope to apply under the ENS186 Direct Entry. One question, how does Direct Entry come as DRC? I thought DRC is only for the Transition scheme? Cheers Bonza!
