What are you apto pavy and how many times your case officers have been changed?

You are always informed once CO is allocated

Yes mate. CO send an email once they are allocated.

I am also facing similar situation. I applied on 25th Aug. Sponsorship and Nomination has been approved a month n a half ago but no news since then. Fingers crossed

Hi jacq. Good to hear that your visa has been granted so early. Lucky you. Are you done with AMC clinical and PESCI both? I have passed both clinical and pesci and my surgery hired first overseas trained doctor. So they applied for all the 3 things together. Sponsorship and Nomination has been approved and still waiting for my visa grant. All the best and pray for me. Thanks

Well its quite a variable story I must say. My medicals were done at the same time when my application was lodged. Many people get their visa in 4-6 weeks time. But recently a friend of mine working as a GP in Victoria also took about 4 months for his visa grant. My status has updated many times in terms of Application being processed further, Information received, No further medicals required on the basis of information provided to DIAC. So its indeed quite a volatile subject. All the best with your application n remember me in your prayers.

I my job position is also in Victoria as a GP and I have applied my visa on 25th Aug. Nomination n sponsorship r done but still hanged up with visa grant. Fingers crossed

Same here pavy. Dont know we will be kept stranded. A friend of mine was telling me that as a result of Security Check thing its taking that long. Fingers crossed

Hi everyone. Any updates with anyone? Forum has got totally silent. May be all have gone for Nw Year celebrations :biggrin:

Don't worry pavy. I am in the same boat and waiting for my visa for more than 4 months. I am doctor by profession and my colleagues in the past got their visas in 4-6 weeks time but now they have increased processing time. Hope we all get visa soon inshAllah

Its about 4 n a half months since I have applied. It means I shouldn't feel hopeless ;-)

Wow great job David. How long did it take for visa grant?

Congratesssss Ko Ko. What a great relief for you. All the best and remember me in your prayers

Thanks mate and all the best

Great News. I applied all the 3 things on 25th August. Sponsorship approved on 26 Nov. Nomination on 3rd December. And I am doctor by profession and my position is in Victoria. Would you mind telling me your country of origin? And were you informed by your CO that your case is in security check or something? My employer tried to call them on the given number but the call went to their central system and they didn't refer it to 457 department. My employer was told to send them an email. He sent them email about 10 days ago but no reply yet. Fingers crossed.
