My Sister put in her application to the Melbourne office about 5 weeks ago (186 temp transition herself plus defacto boyfriend) after her nomination was approved. She's had medicals requested today which I think is pretty quick! I recently put in my application same day as employer nomination - feels a really big risk doing it before nomination approval. Really hope I made the right decision!

I think you have done right

Visa granted :biggrin: 7:35 am Qld time this morning good luck to those still waiting we had our medicals done 31 st and they were sent to DIBP on 2 nd jan and it said on our application no medicals required, I've added that as I found any info helpful x x

woooooohoooooo......Congratulations....dear...that's just great to hear in the morning .i can imagine your happiness.I haven't heard anything since i have applied in june.I really hope everything goes well with me and others who are waiting for their visa grant.My application was DRC 186 PR.But i dont know whats going on at Melbourne office.

Well its time for you to celebrate.....Have a great day ..n i wish you all the very best for your life.

Hi there, this a true test of patience I guess!

My nomination was applied on 18/06 and visa on 24/06. No progress since the acknowledgement email received on the days of application.

Direct Entry stream at the Melbourne office, all documents submitted followed by medicals and police checks. I guess the wait will go way into the new year, will try and get employer to call and check on nomination progress today.

Eye Spy, do keep updating and hang in there buddy, many of us in this boat.

Hi all,

i have applied in the middle of the June same as you.direct entry ,DRC Melbourne office ,everything uploaded with the application but haven't heard any thing ??.i don't know when...I am gonna get to know about my application??its been 6 months n 2 weeks over ..

so let's wait n see what happens !!!

please keep in touch through this forum ..it really helps ..good luck n ??marry christsams?? to all.i wish new year brings lots of happiness n cheers to every one's life ..

Hi Isabelt28

It usually takes a week to review the required documents. if CO is happy with everything you send .. your visa will be granted soon...They must have to give you a reply in a week time that's for sure.This is what my Ma told me when i asked him few months before...so really fingers crossed !!!i am sure you will get it...good luck..

Hi mikepat,

I MA same situation as you.5 and half months nothing seems happening.

I have got my nomination approved but nothing since than.

I spoke to DIAC on wed.and that person from dept.said its full on work at the offices.They are trying their best to get clear as many they can do .He said i understand your frustration but now for ENS applications we advice to wait MINIMUM 6 MONTHS to wiat and maximum no time.....he said sorry but have some patience !!!!!It will come on its time....

I was upset because its nearly six months next week and no....Freaking answer yet. ...so don't worry mikepat we will be posting our happy msgs of Visa Grant very soon.....we are very close now....

I will ask my MA to check with DIAC next week ...who knows they have sent through and he mingh not have recieved it yet...that happned with y friend and some one who posted too...Will give it a go...good luck to all..

My timeline so far, tired of waiting, seems there is little activity at the Melbourne office. Parramatta is getting all the approvals.

just spoke to DIAC regarding processing time he said ;186 ENS will take minimum 6 months to process.

please check regularly your status and ask your MA to check their emails .

have patience !!!!!

Well it's already 21 weeks over today, since I lodged my application DRC at Melbourne office...

has any one got any success yet ????

It's so hard being waiting on something happen... just gotta hope for the best.

 

at least you have nominations approved which is good sign...

Ya but its just very frustrating that people who applied in July have got their visas in august and look at my time line.....5 months n nothing happening at all...I am bit anxious now...I ask my MA every two weeks but he says no updates...

I don't know how long time do we have to wait for....i may call DIAC on Thursday.will post what ever answer i get...In that meaning time fingers crossed....please post a thread if any one have any questions or recent contact with DIAC or MA regarding application.

hi guys

 

Iv been following this thread for a while now, patiently waiting for my PR to be approved! Seems as tho its taking forever. heres my time line.

 

Ens 186 DRC through MA

457 transition

Application Lodged 28th june 2013

 

Had absolutely no updates or news, good or bad since my acknowledgement letter, received on the 28th of june 2013. Im sure there must be thousands of people out there waiting for their good news, who regularly check in to these forums to see how others are getting on, but like me they never quite feel like posting there own info! it is really good to see posts from those who do get through, wot ever the time line might be. So lets see if we can get a better idea of were the process is at! For all those people who haven't registered yet, find some time and get involved. I know all cases are going to be different, but the more time lines that are posted, the better the understanding of where we are all at will be! Im at 112 days now, how far back does the queue go? is there anyone out there who applied before june and still waiting? Has anyone heard anything from immi more specific than the usual 5-8 months? Or any news on the extent of the backlog from the 1st july rush? We all love reading other people stories on here, so put them up and keep the posts coming! And if you do get through dont forget to make that final post to give us the hope that ours might be just around the corner!!!

 

Good luck.:wink:

Hi.I have been reading this forum and just thought to share my case .

I am on the same boat as you guys are.Applied for 186 on 13 June 2013 ,received Acknowledgement letter same day.

We lodge the application in Victoria office. Haven't heard anything after.

I tried to ask my MA and rang +email Immi. But they said it will take 6 months minimum.Also they said it may take longer because of hip of application.

I was not happy after their reply its already been 17 weeks (130 days ).it shouldn't be taking too long ,its DRC but who knows whats going on....I have read some of the threads they applied in july and got their residencies in September...I don't know what to do...its just the waiting time killing me...

If we have applied Like DRC does that mean we will not have any CO??please let me know if any ones knows .Also if any one can suggest whats currently processing time period for 186...that will be great...Good luck to all
