Another twist is, current DEF company is going to be acquired by some other AAA company in 2016 (proposal is pending). So I am expecting my visa by this year end

That sounds like a whore-ible company. It's changing ownership like anything.

Just kidding.

Businesses don't remain the same. And case officers are there to understand. All it takes is a good explanation with documents to back it off.

Simples.

Then he changes to she, [emoji23]

Nah what I meant was in terms of being organized. What if she's got a different calendar and tagging system? What if she's very organized with planning and managing her work? What if she's not lazy?

If CO needs more document form you, he will not wait only for your document. He start on another file, and the date he marked on your file on that day he review again and give decision.

What if the case officer is a lady?

Hope a quiet Monday will be followed by a lots of PRs this week:)

That is if the FLCOs starts working.

do you know what is ur processing centre? Mine is NSW Team 1.

How did you know yours was team 1?? They sent an email to you??

The FLCO should really do somethings this week.

Hello All,

 

Please update the spreadsheet. Many of our Members / Moderators have taken a great deal of effort to make and maintain the spreadsheet.

Thank you !!

Your screen name makes me wanna say that I'm at Martin place bar. Anyone who wants to catchup find your way.

finally atleast Monitoring is finalised

Huh?

I have also been asked for AFP on 24 sep, uploaded on 29/09 .. No response as yet

 

I have asked my MA to remind CO that you have submit the documents... but he advised me not to disturb them.

 

Getting very anxious now....

Your migration agent is right in saying that.

Hi Any one know how long CO take a time after allocation becZ I had allocated yesterday .

any one know how it's work?

It works like this:

Case officer goes through your documents.

It takes time.

Case officer verifies your documents by investigations.

It takes time.

Once they are happy enough to make a decision, they make one.

It takes time.

How much time this all takes?

I'll explain it with a puzzle. Imagine there are three ants. They are all random ants.

There are 10 sugar cubes around them. Carry home or eat it right there, is their main dilemma. If they carry the cubes home how much time will it take them?

This laurahaircutter cracks me up every time. :laugh:

How?

yahoo Dreylee I wasn't far behind you mate! Got residency today!!! Yahoo, so happy!! Thank you to all your support everyone 250 days later!!! Big hugs to everyone!

What is your time line?

yeah probably, I try to be positive

Huh?

Hey guys

need a suggestion

how long should i work before change job

any idea

thanks in advance

Even though your question is a little vague I'll try to answer the question. Let's see if you fall in these two categories:

1. You're on 456 visa.

In this case you have to, have to work until you become a permanent resident.

2. You're on 186 visa.

In this case you have to open up your grant letter and look for the date in it. If you are a permanent resident then you may change jobs anytime.

(So for example you got your visa grant on 8th October 2015 at 1:30pm. You can start working for a different employer from 1:31pm).

However, you should switch jobs after 2 weeks because you're a good human being and good human beings are courteous. That much notice is more than enough for them to arrange a new employee.

I thinks they will clear-ish all the end of may this week and probably next week lots of first week june

You mean tomorrow they will clear all end of May applicants. Right??

Corner of Cleveland and Walker Street, Surry Hills/Redfern

How far is that from "three wise monkeys" in the city or "the harts pub" in the rocks??

All the best Stacyk

The 457 (slave) visa is killing me!

Haha at the legal exploitation visa.

By the way, @everyone!

@dreylee and I are meeting this coming Sunday at 12.30pm at the Norfolk Pub on Cleveland Street. Everyone feel free to join us to celebrate (those who got their grant) or spend some time together (those who need to focus on something else!).

Where is that?

CO asking why i getting paid this much salary and any other Australian citizen is not for this job

i am doing this job from last few years.

Ok so why do you get paid more? Just curious.

Hi guys!! Today is finally my day and I'm beyond ecstatic to share this great news with all of you! Each and every one of you has been such a tremendous support to me and there's simply no words to sum up how much this forum has helped me get by everyday. Good luck to all – and trust me, it's worth the wait at the end of the day.

Congratulations son. We can talk more about advertising stuff over beers.

They may do shift work, work during a weekend and have time off during the week, they may do a job-share system - all those are possible.

Theone thing that Ithink is unfair is that you say the COs are lazy - they can only work as fast asthey are capable and can only grant the number of visas allowable.

I agree that if there was more cash spent on employing COs then visas might get granted faster, but honestly that isn't the COs fault is it - they don't control the budget. Rant at the department by all means, but not at the individual case officers, that just isnt fair.

We do not know whether it's the department or the case officers who are to be blamed for the slow processing of visas.

But when large amount of money is involved(non-refundable) then someone's surely to be blamed for the waiting frustration.

So let's consider a scenario where the department is running everything ethically and that they have enough resources to hire enough people to do the job "nicely" without any stress(but not that people miss going to a beach on the weekend because they chose to take weekdays off). Since they charge a lot from the applicants, let's say money is not an issue here. In such a case it would be more than fair to assume they are lazy. And the word laziness comes in play with added emphasis because they think their customers money is no good to at least update them case status as a courtesy?!?

Scenario 2: Let's assume it is the department which is not running the show right and they tend to be more greedy and selfish. So in this case they have a lot less officers to do the same job. And let's assume I am one of the case officers. So these would be my thoughts: "oh the department doesn't care bout my work load. Stress is building up. If they have taught me the meaning of greed I'll, as a return favor, educate them with the meaning of laziness".

I know this doesn't make sense at all. Right?

So if I blame the case officers or the department, either way the word laziness, directly or indirectly, comes into action.

I'm sure there are many worthy migrants who could do the same job more efficiently given a lot less resources. They would know that 457 is a real example of legal exploitation where a 457 worker technically has rights but can't complain in fears of losing the job, and not able to find another in 28 days time.

The case officers are aware of this and they also know that 186 would mean a lot of freedom to the applicants.

There are somethings we will never know and therefore I will just agree to disagree.

lots of civil servants work on weekends & after hours. my case officer emailed me on a weekend.

Did you mean to say they work 7 days?

My neighbours son is just one of the case officers who worked all weekend. I'm sure he would rather have been at the beach with his family and friends instead of working to processes visa applications for mouthy migrants.

I also do not have any proof when I say that my neighbor also happens to be a case officer who started holidays early and when we drank some beers together he boasted of how he would just waste time over cases.

By the way, they don't have offices open in the weekends.

I was lookin through my application and it says information requested but CO havent ask any document yet..just received mail dat u have CO assigned. Any ideas?? Pls.

He she is working on it. If everything okay you might get the grant. What team??

Lets hope the Case Officers who browse forums don't see that one then....what makes you think they are lazy? They are just doing a job!

Oh sorry. My statement was based on the amount of fees paid for the application vs the amount of wait time involved.

If they are charging ridiculously it would only imply to me that they have more staff dedicated to the process. They also get revenue from taxes which clearly suggests that application income is only for the applications. If they are getting paid lavishly and applications are still "in progress" I would assume they are lazy.
