You can find the number in your application acknowledgement form. It is different from immi helpline.

Called NSW PSE. The person told me that they try to stick to the "first come first serve" principle. However, the upper management will have their own priorities in allocating cases. He added that the 8 to 10 months timeline on Immi's site is insignificant. The normal wait times will be around 12 months.

Why don't they approve applications in order?

Thanks for the info. Cheers

Hi guys, Do the documents need to be certified individually? Currently, I uploaded all the documents in colour but without certification. I did the same for my 457 visa and it went well. So do I still need to certify them when all my documents are already scanned in colour?

Do I need to submit Form 80 for 186 Temporary Residence Stream application? Onshore, LR

Anyone can give a hand? Link:

Hi all, I got my 457 on 4/2/2015 and submitted my 186 application on 15/3/2017. The period between those dates is 770 days. I have taken 24 days of unpaid leave. This sums to 770 - 24 = 746 (full time working days). So with 746 working days (roughly 24.509 months), I can state that I have worked for two years and is eligible for this transition?

Guys, I have a quick question. What if an application took too long and certain documents have expired? Can we assume that all documents are deemed valid based on the DATE OF APPLICATION (Status: Received) and not DATE OF CO ALLOCATION?

Hi all, Can anyone here clarify whether these events would qualify my friend for a 485 visa? Bachelor of Business - 3 years of study (CRICOS: 156 weeks) [2014] - Studied overseas (1 year) [2015] - Studied overseas (1 year) [2016] - Studied in Australia (1 year) At the end of her studies in july 2016, she went back to her home country and is planning enroll for Masters in Accounting in the year 2017 (feb). Masters in Accounting - 1.5 years of study (CRICOS: 78 weeks) However, she received a few exemptions and is only required to study for a year. Planned study dates: 2017 So here is my question. Can she COMBINE her study weeks using her bachelor of business degree and masters together eventhough she went back to her home country? I assume her total academic years will be calculated as follows: 1 year of study in Australia [2016] = 52 Academic weeks (Bachelor) 1 year of study in Australia [2017] = 52 Academic weeks (Masters, after exemption) Total = 104 academic weeks Futhermore, DIBP site states "To meet this requirement, you must have completed in no less than 16 calendar months". Does this mean she qualifies all the criterias for this visa as her combined academic weeks exceeds 92 weeks and she will be completing her studies for more than 16 months (after combination of bachelor+masters)? Thanks.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Visa granted today!:wink:

Employer notified me on nomination approval.

Congratulations. Did you follow up with the CO after you have attached the additional document?

IMMI got back to me today and asked for more information. Seems there is some progress here. I waited exactly 20 business days before they reply. Anyone knows how long I have to wait again after I send them the additional documents?

FYI, there won't be any Co any more. All applications will be assigned to teams. You will only get a Co if your application lacks in required documents.

Did immi came back and ask you for more documents along the way?

It's the end of the week already and no progress yet. Hmmmmm....

Hanging there. Btw, I got a question. Is it faster to get a visa grant if we applied through an agent compares to applying by ourselves?

Any updates?

http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/health-requirements/health-exam.htm I assume you are from a low risk country. Hence, you do not need to submit your medicals. Most visas are turned down because most some of them submitted an incomplete application(missing documents) or they did not provide sufficient documents of their dependants. If one do not have any criminal record, I think he/she will be fine. My 2 cents. I am also still waiting for a reply from IMMI. Submitted almost a month already.

i called immi's general line.

My nomination had been approved 3 weeks ago but my application is still "In Progress" I called Immi and the guy said, there will be no CO allocated if your application fulfil the requirements. They will just tick you off. Unless you have some missing documents, they will contact you. They now work in teams not individuals.

What I heard was, immi will take up to 20 working days to respond.

anyone got theirs yet?
