Hi Beck, Thanks for replying. Huuby's present company did not pay for the PR visa. It cost us over $10K for our family and we paid for it. I know that he did not sign any agreement pertaining to how long he had to stay for so fingers crossed it can be a smooth transition.

Hi the laurakate, Thanks for your reply. We already have our PR :-)
-
Thank you Ozmaniac. Yes, my hubby will definitely give them ample notice so that they have enough time to recruit and train as he is still very grateful to them for giving us the opportunity to move here. Thanks again for replying :-)

Hello Everyone, Just a quick one... We were granted our PR from a 457 in October last year. My husband has been offered another job, however, we are unsure if he can change employers before the '2 year period'. I have now been on hold with DIBP for 78 minutes, so I thought I may get an answer sooner if I post here LOL! Does anyone know if the '2 year period' only applies to RSMS 187 or both? Thanks in advance :-)

Hey, I don't think your visa is too far off mate. Mine was processed in VIC and they requested extra info too. Once they received this, it took about 2 weeks till approval. If you have a CO, then at least you know that your application is being looked at. Good luck :-)

Yup, the longest wait of my life, I can tell you that much! Hang in there, not much longer now :-)

Congrats Christin!

Still no news. Waiting...

Jeepers! That must have felt like an eternity! We have got so much riding on getting PR, life seems so stagnant at the moment as we can't make any serious decisions... yet.

Hi guys, quick question for those lucky ones who already have their PR! How long on average did it take from nomination approval to visa grant? El x
-
From what I have read, they seem to be approving around the 2-3 month mark. Fingers crossed for both out applications!
-
What's your timeline like?
-
Hi Stevevw975, Thank you for replying :-) I am just hoping and praying that we get our visa. The suspense is so stressful!
-
Oh I forgot that when my hubby's employer sent the reply, the automated response said that they are currently working on applications made in June 2014.

Hi All, Quick timeline update: Employer Nomination 21 May 2014 Medicals complete 10 June 2014 Visa Application 19 June 2014 (with medicals, Form 80 and all other supporting info) CO Requests further information from employer 29 August 2014 Information send to CO 08 September 2014 Does anyone know if requesting further info at the nomination stage is common practise? They require info like job title, salary, job description and skills required. Should I be worried because so many 186'ers have had no requests for more information? EEK!

186 Health Check - Urgent Question / Help! Cheers

Hi There, I have read a similar post about this somewhere, and it seems like there is a technical glitch at present. Perhaps contact DIBP direct to query further. Sorry I couldn't help more. -
186 Visa Processing time from Employer nomination to Approval
ellis replied to RobbieOZ's topic in Working and Skilled Visas
Hi Angelica30, It is entirely up to you when you choose to lodge. Some people have waited for the nomination approval, and some have lodged their application at more or less the same that the nomination was lodged. I did not wait and lodged my application shortly after the nomination. This was end May/ mid June 2014 so I have got a bit to go before I hear anything back. I hope this helps you. Good luck :-) -
Hello Everyone, Congrats to those who have got your visa! We are still waiting... patiently... Employer Nomination - 22/05/14 Medicals Done - 10/06/14 Application Lodged - 19/06/14 As per acknowledgement letter, application processing centre in NSW. No contact yet, but will update when I hear anything. x

Hi emmiejay, Yes, the same thing happened to me. We had our medicals done and all bar my son's had been uploaded. I called the surgery, and the doctor advised that there was a glitch of some sort and that he was unable to tick a box. He contacted Medibank Health Solutions and it was sorted the same day. Hope that helps.

Hey Paisleylass, We've now lodged and waiting... I've also done the Form 80 with 10 years, I've checked and checked and can't even find a version with the 30 years! Did you manage to get all your documents uploaded on time? Our UK police checks took just 8 days from the time we posted it till we got it back!
-
Hi Lindsay, You are an Australian resident for tax purposes when on a 457. I called them up a few years back with the same question and that's what I was told. Hope that helps
-
Thank you :-) It's so nerve wrecking! If this is just the application, I'm not looking forward to the wait for a decision. Yup, we've done our medicals already so fingers crossed we have a positive outcome.
-
Thanks Quinkla, It's what we thought, but I started second guessing myself at the last minute :-)

Hi, Just finishing off my application and just needed confirmation on the above. As we have been in AU for over 2 years, is this our usual residence or is it the UK? Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks :-)
