My visa has just come through!!! Applied through RMA so it was decision ready on 21st December and heard nothing back until today (5 months 1 week). I rang DIAC to check at the 5 month mark, they didn't tell me anything aside from 'processing' and I'm not sure if it made a difference. Good luck to everyone else. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

It's not a very good idea as DIAC will only talk to your MA. I don't think it will slow the process down, but it wouldn't make it go any faster and you risk annoying the MA if you say anything.. Not too sure why, but that's what I've been told by an immi lawyer friend of mine and I'd trust her.

Hi guys, My MA submitted both the nomination and DRC visa at the same time to Parramatta on 21st December 2012, I know it's too soon to expect the visa to come through, but it's 2.5 months now and still no news of an ack letter - should I be worried about the lack of letter coming through? :unsure:

Hiya, I went back to the UK for Christmas and returned to Sydney to an email from my RMA saying that my ENS 186 visa was lodged on 21 December 2012. Their email stated "We advise that the Department will not be able to provide on-going status advice about a lodged 186 visa application. The Department will contact us if any further information / documentation is required. Otherwise, the Department will proceed to the finalisation of your application in due course." However, I've read on this forum that some people received a letter of acknowlegement - would I receive this or does it go to the RMA? The only reason I'm bothering you with this question is that I have received no answer at all from the agent's office. They are not very forthcoming with information at all which is shocking as I've just paid them close to $6000!!! Any help is much appreciated along with any current processing times for a 'decision ready' application for the ENS 186 visa at the Parramatta office. All medical, police/birth certificates were submitted mid-last year. Thanks for your time! Cat
