Hi Magasele

we are on the same boat

I just got the nomination and submit the visa application several days ago

if you did not submit your CV before

you should submit it on your applicaiton

the police clearance should be expire for 1 year

which office will you submit your application?

and what stream are you belong to?

It looks similar time schedule for direct entry stream and transaction stream right now

I applied for 186 employer sponsor stream 25th November, allocated case worker last Thursday asked for extra reference on Friday and national police check as only did nsw clearance one. Applied for that on Friday got it through yesterday..uploaded it with work reference and got my notification through today..I officially am now a permanent resident.....

direct entry?

ah, sorry, forgot that part. it was transition stream

So annoying!! I lodged 6 November and all the November ones are overtaking mine....i'm taking it as a good sign that they don't need anything else from me (although I didn't lodge DR) - although really I am panic stricken haha.

thanks

The waiting is really starting to get to me! Has anyone had any approvals from Perth recently?

Here's my timeline:.

 

ENS 186 Perth | temporary transit | MA DRC

12/07/2013: Employer nomination submitted

04/10/2013: Application lodged (all documents )

04/10/2013: Acknowledgement letter received.

07/11/2013: Nomination approved

 

I hope I have some news soon. My MA says she wont chase as its not been 6 months. Does anyone know if the clock starts ticking from nomination lodge date or visa lodge date? I cant seem to get a straight answer....

:mad::mad:

I think it should be visa lodge date

Long time anxious watcher of this thread, so it's time to share my experience:

 

Nomination submitted: 01/07/13

Nomination approved: 29/08/13

Application submitted: 06/09/13

CO assigned: Early December sometime (Parramatta Office)

 

No contact whatsoever since. I've sent numerous emails, made numerous phone calls to try find out what my pregnant wife needs to do about her medical, as she can't do the xray but haven't been able to get a straight answer. We live in wait, for now at least

Hey caomhin

are you still waiting?

My ENS 186 is through labour agreement. Nomination was lodged on 20th November, and approved 18th February through the Parramatta office. I submitted application 8th February, but am about to book medicals ready so hopefully decision will be quicker. There is a case officer on the nomination approval, does anyone know if this is the case officer for application as well?

we are on the same boat

I got the approval of nomination on Jan 2014

and submitted the 186 visa application on Feb 2014

I received the ACK letter 10 days later,

and there is a case officer name at the end of the letter

the same person with the nomination co

so I think there should be the same co

i submitted around 2 weeks,

nothing news except the ack letter.

watched pot never boil

might just have to be patient lol. a friend of mines got approved today and he applied around the same time

Glen, I think it depends on the stram and location you submittend your applicaiton

if all of above are the same, you should get your visa similar day with your friend

good luck

So annoyed today it's been 2.5 months and application status is still in progress havenot heard even a single word from department seems like they are very lazy people and even have not seen any ens 186 approvals for last 2 weeks :-(

Hi Shobi777,did you get co already? If so you can contact with him/her directly
