Finally the day has arrived after 189 days of visa application submission. Just received the confirmation letter from MA for PR grant. All details in my signature and in the excel sheet, processing center WA PESE. No documents requested, just requirement to pay secondary VAC2. Whoever has the access, kindly update the excel sheet

 

Just would like to thank all the supportive people on this forum, you guys were great motivation. I tried my best to be patient and calm, but honestly got bit worried couple of weeks ago, for no good reason actually. I arrived in Oz in Dec'12 and absolutely loved the place and people, needless to say I am proud to call it home now. I look forward to next phase of my life in Oz

 

Good luck to all who are waiting for any news, just be patient and good things will come. Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be hovering around

congrats Fireblade and all who get PR today.. best of luck for your future...

Email Updated on 3 February 2016

 

We are currently allocating ENS and RSMS applications that were lodged mid July 2015.

What?!

i think stop sending e-mail and watch here... i think they write mid because too many peoples calling there.. but i m sure next week they start Aug.

and current processing time is looks 6 Months 1 week..

i just found this on web updated on 27th jan

 

Processing times for

Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS)

permanent visas has increased to 6 months on average.

We do, however, continue to experience some inconsistency with processing times in this ar

ea.

We will continue to work with our clients to understand their priorities, and will do what we can to request priority

processing when required.

We hope that

in February processing times will start to improve as immigration officers

return to work after

the summer holiday break.

Below is a summary of current processing times as of

January 2016

:

Visa type

Visa processing time

Subclass 457 8 to 12 weeks

 

Employer Nomination Scheme 6 to 8 months

Good

which website?

Thanks! And one more question, please. While we wait for PR we get bridging visa. But what happens to the old 457 visa? Is 457 still active until PR is received?

If your 457 visa is still valid then forget about bridging visa when ur 186 visa granted then forget 457 visa... Hope its hep

guys, may I know how you get notified for approved nomination and PR approval?

Do you receive email directly from DIAC or they contact you via MA?

Via MA

Wow @shanechan517!!! And wow @immi great achievement congrats fly mate

hi congrats all. Happy to see the speed. In 1 week all july allmost clear. Jazzcrave put soda in fridge, marinade chicken and wash glasses... Our turn is on the corner.

Hello! I would like to ask what type of EA assessment is needed for this visa 186? Is it the 920 aud CDR + relevant skilled employment assessment? (I'm not claiming for points since I won't be able to reach 60pts anymore). Thanks!

hi this is not point based visa.. this visa for if your employer ready to sponsor you.. check department's website for Employer Nomination Visa 186.

interesting my 457 was granted in 2012, but it states in the natural justice letter that it was a geologist with minimum base salary of 78,000. Also want to give a huge thank you to jazzcrave who gave me valuable info on the phone!!!

that's good @jazzcrave. we are helping each others..

Congrats!!!

 

PR rain is falling.~~~

Hii

happy to see too much grants coming... I m sure department is working hard now. Hope next week they finish july and jump to Aug. even i more working day left in this week. Best of luch all Aug and Sep. guyz. Ready for party...

@jesse there is no distinction of onshore or offshore.my previous application was opened in 5.20 while i was overseas.so it doesnt affect

r u overseas on bridging visa or 457 visa?

@sheena my migration ahent told me its not in the checklist anymore.i dont know if its still there.

nice, if we all Aug guyz get PR by 28 Feb then we all meet for party.... R u from Melb?

I did a survey on immi 's website today. It was about their website so i did mention if they could add real time tracking of the visa applicaitons and clear updates on their websites about being high on workload and slow pace etc etc. I would suggest you guys to do the same. You can stay anonymous however i gave my details and they also offer face to face discussion if someone has ideas for them.

 

I had a word with my lawyer and i was told i can expect to hear something in feb as the immi is really low on staff since start of December and 457 applications are also very slow. Tommorow alot of people are back to work not just in immi but also as other offices so it all does makes a difference. ( many things are interconnected) if you know what I mean.

hi

ya u r right.... from tomorrow all the system come on track.. even if u see last 7 days too much people get visa... and department took 1 months for 1 months files.. so hope Aug. will be from 10 feb to 1st week of March then Sep... i remember ur treat when i got mine... hahahahaha @APRPlease we are very close & our nomination and visa dates r same.... keep in touch... just hold it tight we get soon....

congrats..... peppa
