I haven’t yet. Have you? I had pretty much just given out hope and figured I can’t fly overseas anyway now. But I should do it, so it’s done. I have absolutely no idea why my application took so long... one of the unlucky ones. I applied 21 April 2018 

I applied on oct 2018 . No update at all .

That is a long wait. Which council/region are you from? Have you submitted FOI or a request to any MP to check/expedite?

I have made a F.O.I request online on 9/3/20 . No response yet . 

I have called them several times but they said the application is still inder timelines.  So wait

sadly our application has everything , i could understand if we were complex or had received requests for more info ..... our application is simplest one they can get ..... but maybe they assume as living here/RRV in place/nothing complex its just been dumped somewhere  ......  my work mate applied 1/19 and got test date for 10/19 brisbane city  so you can see why we get a bit disheartened/ frustrated  at times  

when it comes thro there will be a party on this forum !

Hi jazz

Can you believe ? I am still waiting for visa :ssign14:

Any update guys ?

This reads like a case officer personal vendetta where they are trying everything they can to block the application. I reckon you need to formally complain.

Hi sir

I have question .

As you know my nomination was expired on 30 May 2014 .

Should case officer sent an e-mail to my MA and inform thar my nomination is expired ?

I my case it's already 10 days past since my previous nomination expired . But we have not get any reply from case officer yet .

Regards

Pavy

Thanks very much sir

I have lodged new nomination on 27 May 2014 . Because mine previous nomination was going to expired on 30 May 2014 .

Now I have to wait until my nomination approval .

Case officer was aware that my nomination would be expire . He should finalize the application before 30 May 2014 .

I don't know why my case officer has problems with me .

I am thinking case officer wants to make us more wait . Because my MIGRATION AGENT ask him legal basis of his request about my diploma and he could not give answer .

Please advise me sir . What I should do ?

Where I can lodge complaint ?

I really don't trust on DIBP anymore . I don't think do they will listen us .

My MIGRATION AGENT send email to 457 policy section on 7 April 2014 about case officer and regarding his request . But we didn't get any reply .

I don't know why they ignoring us ? If they are correct they should reply and told us straight way that we are incorrect or they are correct .

If you have an Aus qualification that's even more confusing.

 

This isn't advice, just my opinion - It sounds to me like the CO is taking issue with the credit/exemptions received when you obtained your diploma through the RPL process. Quite frankly they should not be looking at it in that much depth so I do not know what's triggered that reaction. If you've supplied your Aus certificate and diploma as well as the cert and diploma for the qualification that gained you exemptions I don't see what else they could want. If they're worried about the authenticity of the documents they could request originals and investigate, if they're concerned you don't meet the skill level they could just request you take a skills assessment....Either way they need to be pushed into doing something or clarifying exactly what their concern is.

 

12 months is ridiculous. If it were my application I would now be forcing the issue, listing every single regulation and demonstrating convincingly how I meet it. Push a decision and escalate it until one is made.

 

Nobody can ever tell 100% what their decision will be, but if you're adamant all the criteria is met and they do refuse it then MRT is the next step. A very large number of decisions get over-turned by the MRT because they focus on the regulations whereas some case officers (wrongly) get driven by policy.

Hi sir

Thanks for reply and help .

Please see below email from case officer . He send this email after that I submitted completion letter from college of my RPL diploma ,includes college contact details college RTO NUMBER Everything .

But he still request below ...

hi sir

Please see below email from case officer about skill ......

Thank you for your email.

*

I note that the letter from xxxxxxx states that assessment was based on written work, observations of practical tasks and confirmation from third parties.

*

I require further clarification regarding the third parties. If your client has been awarded any transfer of credit or recognition of prior learning (RPL), you must also provide evidence of the basis for this credit or RPL,* including detailed advice from the client’s Australian education provider. If the credit transfer/RPL is on the basis of offshore study, please provide transcripts which clearly show the subjects which you have gained credit for in your Australian course. If the credit transfer/RPL is on the basis of work experience, please provide details of this experience, including dates and supporting evidence.

Hi guys

I am waiting for my visa .

I lodge 457 visa application with approved nomination on 28/6/13

. It's going to be 1 year still waiting

.

You've been delayed for 12 months because of this? Is your MA registered? Because this isn't a big issue and if he has lodged anywhere near 23,000 cases previously he would be lying on a beach somewhere in Bali with a cocktail and a wad of cash.

 

You can show the case officer the equivalence of your diploma through AEI-NOOSR if necessary. Under policy the case officer is instructed that they can even request a skills assessment if they're not satisfied you meet the skill requirement, would you meet the skills assessing authority criteria for you occupation? Sometimes case officer make unusual and needless requests and while it can often be successfully argued that it's not required (applications should be assessed according to regulations, policy is a guide) it's often quicker to just do as asked. If you do argue you directly show them why it's not a legal requirement, you don't ask them to prove it to you!

Thanks for reply sir

My MIGRATION AGENT is registered . I am not professional like you guys . I don't know who is right and Who is wrong .

I have completed RPL diploma of procedure of horticulture from Regesterd college in Australia . My skill level is 2 . I must have diploma to meet skills requirements .

A friend of mine has same position same diploma from same college . He got his visa with in 6 weeks .

Then why I am waiting from 12 months ? My application is 100% genuine . Why it's still happening with me .

What is your opinion ? Will they grant visa or not ?

We had our case officer allocated on 28th May and the visa was approved the same day.

 

Our nominating employer was hassling them constantly, maybe that made a difference?

 

Hope yours comes through soon.

 

I think Pavy has had two case officers so far by the way.

Thanks for reply blue

Actually my second case officer request me to provide completion letter of my diploma from my college on 20 January 2014 .

I provided same day .

Then he requested my ALL paperwork used to get diploma . My MIGRATION argument with case officer that case officer doesn't has power to assess qualifications information from college .

Migration agent said he lodged 2300 application 457 so far he never seen request like this .

Ma . Request case officer to provide him laws that case OFFICER can assess this information .

He didn't get reply 29 days past . Then my MA request case officer manager about legal purpose of case officer request .

Manager replied after 24 days . That case officer can clarify . Be she didn't say that he has power to assess qualifications information from college . Clarify about diploma is completion letter that's all . She also support case officer . After past 3 months in this argument . Case officer never replied related to this topic .

I was worried . I force my MA to send my all paperwork to case officer . My MA was not agree with me but I am his client as a law he has to listen me . Then finally MA sent 384 pages of my assignments to case officer .

We got quickly reply with in 30 minutes .

Case officer said I. Email we have to be patience this application is going under routine processing (20 March 2014)

It's amazing guys . Some applications tooks 1week for routine processing . Mine taking about 12 months and still under processing

Good luck guys . Hope you all get visa very soon .

I am waiting for my visa from 28/6/13 .

GOD bless you all . Take care.

This is my last post here . Because I realize no one EVEN looked my post . I think because I am waiting from 1 year .

I think I am not a part of this conversation anymore . Thanks
