Bret

Hi,

 

Wondering if someone can provide me with a ballpark time line for the following:

 

186 application submitted on 15 May 2015.

Request for additional medical info and ACPO / police check on 22 September 2015.

Medical completed on 29 September 2015 and info submitted directly via BUPA.

Certified ACPO check uploaded on 20 October 2015 i.e. all additional info request submitted by 20 October.

 

How much longer am I likely to wait for a decision? I'm thinking about another month maximum?

 

Thanks in advance

Sean

Typically it should be 28 days after you submit, the CO will look into it. if lucky the CO might looks into it earlier.

We have no rights to push them they will do it as per their convenient.

We can ask about visa status. My advice is better to wait till our turn.

 

You can send an email and ask for the updates, however they will respond you as a standard/templet reply

Hi Shriniwas, Thanks for advice. I am still application received, so I suppose at least they should tell me if my case is allocated in their standard/template reply. I wonder if this is the case?

MY Visa application was on 20 June 2015 and Co already allocated on 16 Oct 2015 and asked more info.

Hi Brar, Thanks have you ever sent mail to push? or just waiting?

Based on "brar0000" post:

 

 

We are currently allocating ENS and RSMS applications that were lodged early to Mid-June 2015.

Thanks! Hope they move to end of June soon:chatterbox:

Morning Bret, yeah I did send an email and I got a response 4 days later.

Hi Vinzy, good morning! thanks!

What the auto reply says?

Just got an update from Immi, my application is being assessed by Team 4.

Hi Vinzy, How you get this update? sent them a mail or phone call?

Anyone got auto reply at end of today? did they update it?

nothing is wrong well that's your right isn't it?

but in my case when I sent an email immi suggested me that they can't disclose my updates to me coz it's only my MA who can get it so they told me to ask my MA to send them a mail which I did then I knew my updates so I dnt know in yr case.

for my case when I aplied we signed a paper for information send list which is only my MA that's why !

hope it's help

good luck mani

In terms of nomination, I think it should be the employer or MA to communicate with Immi.

As for the Visa application, can we communicate with Immi ourselves?

I am so happy. After 8 years living in this country. My husband had a 457 visa cancelled 2 years ago while we were overseas and could not return to AU for 5 months. I managed to return in a tourist visa and apply for a 457 visa through my job. And today, after all the blood and tears we're Permanent residents in this country we love.

 

You guys have been a great support. I do appreciate all the help and patience. Good luck to everyone and I wish all the best to all of you

 

.

What a happy termination of the long Journey! Congrats!

Good morning! Anyone get the auto reply from Immi, what it says? thanks!

Reason why im asking is ive seen alot of people now get a notification as soon as it changes to finalised.. then why log in every 5 minutes?

Yes, we get a mail every time to login. Check just in case the Finalised notification lost on the way.

Yaaaaaaayyyyyy got the visa today aussie aussie aussie oye oye oye thank god. Gud luck to all of my brothers and sisters

Congrats! So what is your timeline and processing center?

Not that lazy....

 

Just received a call from my MA to confirm that both Nomination and Visa have been granted today - no additional documents requested.

 

I'll update with which office when they send me the letter through - very happy!

Congrats!!! We are getting good news everyday this week!!! Hurray!!!

Quite day, no good news so far...

How they allocate to applications to different team? based on occupation or randomly?

What a perfect start of this week! Hi Immi folks, great! Keep it up!

Occupation: Retail Buyer

4 people on application

LR country

No further details requested, status went straight to finalised

 

Good luck everyone. Its a horrible wait

Congrats!!!!!!

Bret,

 

I know that many don't agree and think we shouldn't do it but every time I emailed immi asking for an update it always helped. First time I did they approved my nomination on the next day. Second time, they requested more documents for my application. But I understand that some think that we may be causing delays...

Thanks! Based on Vinzy's info, looks like we could send mail to push, but better to limit the times.

Got it..Thank you.

 

Hos...LOL :notworthy:

Hi Vinzy, do you think sending the mails to Immi helped a little bit? I am also thinking to send mail for an update, I am still application received after 4 months.

Hi Bret,

 

I have sent 4 emails in all. I got response to the first 2. The last 2 I had only auto response.

Nomination - 27 May 2015

Visa - 1 Jun 2015

Status - Waiting for approval

Skill - Software Engineer

Mode - Direct Entry

 

Hos do i update the signature, not able to find that option easily. Thanks for the help.

I remember it should be in my profile.

My last two emails to immigration, has yielded no response. Has anyone else faced this?

So how many mails you ever sent? no response to all your mails?

My boss ever sent 2 mails regarding my nomination, both got reply.

BTW. what is your timeline? Occupation?

Finally got my PR,after 10 years and 4 years on 457 visa.
