Hi Chaz, How long did the CO took to arrive at the final decision? I've been allocated a CO 2.5 weeks ago and still sort of waiting,....[/quote

 

Hi,

Did not know CO was assigned until Nomination approval on last week Friday. Then, today got the visa grants...so same CO who approved nomination gave the visa acceptance today...hope that helps.

 

 

Congrats Chaz... enjoy your freedom!!

 

 

I'm in exactly the same situation Wizzle....Lodged 28/6

Fingers crossed for both of us...

Thanks guys, am sure your visa grants are just around the corner...Cheers and thank you...

Hello Everyone,

My final posts on here:) At last my visa has been approved today by the same CO who approved the nomination last Friday. Phew,,,thank GOD the stress I over!!!!!

This thread in particular had given me hope throughout the waiting period...All the best to those of you who are still waiting.

Many thanks...:

Chaz

Yeah, booked me and family's & paid online even before the application process. Just have to fill in the relevant forms prior to attending the medicals. The results were sent by Medibank to Global Health so never saw them. However, had to forward copy of tax invoice to agent to link medicals with application.

Yes, everything was done and uploaded upfront with both applications. Don't know how long the visa grant will take to come, probably another two months maybe:-(

Oh Chaz, that doesn't fill me with confidence! 2 months to have the nomination approved, with a DRC! That seems like ages....

Hi Isabel,

It did seem like eons but just buried myself in work and kept busy so did not seem that long. I wasn't expecting it as the ens applications were taking long to be approved. Anyhow, wait, wait and wait is all we can do, I guess. Good luck to all of us. There is hope :-)

Hi All,

Just an update from me:

30/08/13: Nomination Approved, now the second stage waiting begins.

Got a call this arvo from MA of the good news.

Cheers...

Congratulations...wow..so happy for you.Can't wait for my turn. At least there is hope in seeing others obtaining their PR..enjoy.:-)

Hi All,

Just an update from a client officer at immi. I called immigration on 1300 number to see where application was at. No case officer allocated as of yet, advised that they are currently allocating May 13 applications.

Also enquired if they have received all medical results with application as Medibank Health Services (MHS) sent direct to The processing office. We are a family of four. However, it's only showing my husband and eldest son's results as uploaded but not for me and youngest son. MHS advised that the latter medicals were sent to immigration since baby did not have his own passport and was linked to mine.

Would this be a problem, as on delay when CO is allocated? Still awaiting passport for baby from home country. Am worried now even though not still a long way to go yet.....

Congratulations, mmjen!! Wait is finally over for you:-)

Yes

 

Wow....congrats to your pal..

Hi Guys,

Just an update on my friend application.

 

Applied on 14 May 2013, Non-DRC thru MA

CO assigned on 13th June asking for PCC

Docs supplied in one week and visa approved 2nd July 2013

VO Sydney

Was your friend's application an ENS 186 too?

Hi Saqibqu,

Thanks for your post. That's good to know DIAC is actually assigning CO as late as May. Parramatta CoE. It will be great to get approved in 2-3 months.

Regards,

Chaz

Hi Everyone,

 

I have lodged my application yesterday and now waiting game starts

 

Nomination and visa application lodged together: 18th June 2013

Acknowledgement Receipt: 18th June 2013

Transition Stream

DRC thru MA

 

Cheers

Hi Saqibqu,

I am a newbie on this forum. Mine was lodged by MA DRC for Transition Stream too on 25 June 2013, both Nom & Visa App. Receipt for payment same day.

Did your agent upload all the supporting documents at the same time? Mine did not do so, she said next week after the system is up and running again. Is it too late and will that not make the application "valid", as in incomplete without the docs attached?

My agent also said that at this stage, DRC or not does not matter due to the large number of ENS applicants, it could take 4 to 12 months to get PR.

Here's hoping that we don't have to wait that long...,fingers crossed.

Thanks.
