pj183600

8 months back I was granted PR after transitioning from 457 to ENS 186.

As it is employer nominated can I change jobs so soon without it affecting my PR status?

pj83600 did you use the My Health Declaration? I wonder if using this speeds up the application

Yes I did...

I don't think it speeded it up much. Just as long as you have all your medicals done by the time the CO reviews the case is key. We got ours done a week after lodgement.

What's your timeline? Sorry the phone app doesn't show signatures.

 

P.s: moderators, the phone app doesn't show signatures. Lol. Constructive feedback. :-)

Nomination & Visa lodged 6th May

OMG!!!! Just checked my immi account and it has gone from Application Received to Finalised. I can't get hold of my MA but I'm assuming it's party time..

If I click on the link I can see it says granted but I can't view the grant letter. Is this because it has gone to my MA?

visa and nomination lodge on 6

status application received

have you been contacted by a CO?

No.. Just wondering if you can check yourself or if relying on your MA keeping you up to date.

If your CO has requested more info/docs about the nomination side of your application what would your immi status show?

is there any one still waiting from first week of May?

Still waiting from first week of May. I've heard buggerall and application still says Application Recieved.. I'm at the point now where I think it's never going to change.

Any friend waiting from first week of MAY??

ME....

How de-moralising is it logging into your immiaccout for the umpteenth time each day only to see application received...

I'm trying to find out where my processng centre is. I read somewhere that you can check your Acknolwledgement letter. Trouble is I can't find this. I lodged the application through a MA. My ImmiAccount just shows Application Received.

Nomination lodged: 15 April 2015

Visa application : 15 April

Nomination approved : 12 May 2015

Visa Approved : 18 May

Today I am finally out of this waiting hate game. Gud luck to everyone who's waiting for pr. cheers. Occupation: Bricklayer

No way that is way too fast... Are you sure it was 2015? Congratulations :-)

Hi Pj,

 

yes, i applied through MA. They have checked everything before they lodged and have shown me a successful case with internal training costs. However, my MA also said there may be a chance DIAC doesn't accept my internal training costs. It really confuses me with what they said . that's why i wanted to ask anyone else here was successful in proving training requirements using internal training?

 

Well, as you work for a big firm, i guess you should not worry too much. Normally, big firms they have proper training programs and systems. Also, accountants can pick up the training costs right away from audited financial statements. It might be an issue if it doesn't cover 1% of their total payroll. Then, there will be more work to do.

 

I would suggest you to work closely with MA and your company's accountants in preparing and checking all documents before lodging. Luckily, as i am working as management accountant, i am in charge in all our financials and was the only one preparing my paperwork and make sure it is correct before submitting. However, still not sure about internal training.

I think it depends on what the internal training is. E.g. if you have a designated trainer whom you pay wages then I think that is ok. You could also claim for room rental etc. I don't think you can include staff wages while they were training.

Also,

 

I would like to seek your advice in my case.

 

I have been on visa 457 over 2 years. In the last 2 years, my company hardly paid anything for externer training. However, we conduct many internal trainings for new staff and for the purpose of launching new products. Also, as we work in a technology industry, these trainings are necessary to keep our staff updated with changes. Recently, my MA advised me to include internal training costs to meet training requirements for ens 186. I have lodged my application but now i am concerned that it may get rejected as my company didn't pay for actual external training.

 

Has anyone experienced the same situation and can give me some advice on it? i feel a bit frustrated now.

 

Btw, my occupation is management accoutant.

 

Thanks.

Suzy,

Did you apply through MA? If you did I would expect that they would have checked this to see if there were any potential issues.

I am in the process of getting my employer to nominate me through a MA, through temporary resident transition stream. On the questionnaire that the agency have sent my employer there is a sentence that says "If you are applgying through direct entry you need to supply evidence of the expenditure of training" I thought it was required.

For me I'm nervous about this as we are a large international corporation and I know that HR are struggling to pull all the training figure together.
