Are you able to appeal it?

Hi all, great to see so many of the march people getting there grants.. has anyone used an immi account, i used an agent and she did everything. now the problem is she has gone on holiday for the next two weeks and my head is about to explode.. can i set up my own immi account or do i need to get my password from my agent to check my visa status? Thanks in advance

Hi all Two people on the expat forum have received their grants today and they were MIGHTY MARCH APPLICANTS. One was on the 8th and the other on the 10th of MARCH. Nearly there people.

Has anyone any idea if we have to wait until the next planning year, how long after the first of July we will have to wait???

Im 9 weeks on Tuesday. Have you tried contacting Immi or are you waiting for notification from the CO..

That's what I like to hear... Did they give you a date as to when the case officer had been allocated?? Do you mind if I ask are you onshore or offshore and what profession you're applying for. Cheers

Hi all Just wondering have any of the March gang got a case officer yet??

Hi Maggiemay Thanks for your reply. Why would it be better to stay on the 457?? I have been out of work since xmas and its really starting to drive me crazy. My 457 still has not been cancelled and I thought it might be better to cancel it then get my bridging visa and then apply for working rights?? I see people receiving all these delay letters for the 190 so I'm thinking I could be on it for quiet a while longer and wouldn't I better off on a bridging visa, at least I could work. All advise greatly appreciated

That Great news Roxy.. Well done. When did you apply and what state did you apply for. Just trying to get a timeline for myself.

Hi Rupert Thanks for your reply. My 457 ended due to the company going into receivership. I am currently trying to see if they cancelled my 457 or not. If not i'll have to cancel it and then apply for the working rights on my bridging visa?? I think that's correct. Thanks in advance.

Hi All I have applied for 190 and just have a quick question. I was on a 457 and when I noticed things starting to slow down I did everything that was required of my to apply for a NSW 190 before the company went under. Now they have gone and I've been waiting to hear on my 190 but according to other threads I could be waiting for quiet some time. Which I don't mind doing once I can work. If I get a bridging visa A do I have unrestricted working rights so I can go and work for a new company while my application is processed. or do I have to prove the financial hardship?? Or how does this system work? any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I never was very good at the waiting game. From other forums I have been on it seems as though there is a total "go-slow" on the 190. I'm hoping its mainly the people with negative stories that are posting on these forums when in fact there are countless happy smiley people getting there visa grants and then not posting it here. lol Anyone have any experience with getting working rights while on a bridging visa??

Hey Winson Have you heard any news yet?

Hi All At first I was delighted to find this thread and have since wished I hadn't. Its disheartening to see that one member has applied on the 2nd of March and still no reply. I applied on the 18th of March SS NSW 190. Still no sign of a case officer. We have our Medicals booked for 1st of May in Melbourne. We also got our police clearances the last time we were home in Oct so all of that has been uploaded. How do you know that a case officer has been allocated??
