Hi @Sheila i guess i should have explained in a better way.

 

$63000 (gross) i work for per annum. I got paid $4 less. So the gross salary on my payg is 62996 instead of $63000 .

 

Will this be an issue

hi Jacboaug2016,

someone said here -can't remember the exact source or legal basis they gave- that when it comes to salaries IMMI is usually fine if the difference is less than $2,000. You can probably find the original post if you do some research within this forum thread.

8 months today since I applied! All immigration can say is my case is being assessed!! The waiting is really getting to me!!!!!! (Been asked for more information twice, last time 10/03/16)

may I ask you what did they request from you? and how come did they ask you twice for additional info?

Thank you for your reply. I m still confused that why my friends Ma asked all of their clients to sign within 7 days.

Some people have been requested to fill and submit the infamous Form 80 even though they had lodged their application way before December, 14th, when they made it a requirement for everyone. It may be happening the same with this... as usual with DIBP, it's up to the CO to ask whatever they want.

Hi guys, Has everybody needs to sign the Declaration for paying the sponsorship ? My friend told me that for everyone who are applying 186 visa. But My ma didn't contact me.

It applies to everyone who lodged the application after December, 14th.

Hello All,

New to the forum. Thought I'd tell those of you who are feeling down something that may make you feel a little better.

 

Nomination submitted first week of October. Visa submitted first week of November.

 

Now employer is thinking about making my role redundant and if the visa is not in by end of April then they will pull the plug.

 

Fun times!

wow... hope they don't end up making your role redundant, mate!

I was wondering, what happens if you're granted the PR and your role is then made redundant?

Does the employer have to notify Immigration or once the Nomination and PR are granted, whatever happens to the role is no longer considered a "change on circumstances"?

Hi everyone!

great forum and I follow up on new posts almost every day!

hi Enri!

almost in the exact same situation. Is it TRT or Direct Entry in your case?

good luck everyone!

A day late for my birthday present, but waiting 204 days, and after 9 years on a 457, we have finally received the good news. Wow,wow,wow!! Congratulations to l the others who've made this journey and good luck to those waiting.

congrats, Sami! long deserved after 9 years on a 457... you're a legend!

hi all,

I'm one of those who waited until the company got the Nomination approved (in October) to submit my Visa application (early November). As a consequence, my Visa application must have gone to the queue and after this long I feel like this whole process is taking forever... I've seen a few cases where applicants have been asked for Form 80 and some other documents (Education / Qualifications). I'm wondering whether submitting now all Form 80 and Education / Qualifications for me and my partner will somehow make any difference as in the application being taken by a Case Officer sooner. Still undecided because as some of you may know, filling in Form 80 really is a pain in the butt.

Congrats to everyone who got their PR and best of luck to everyone else waiting for the big news!

Educational qualification documents and form 80

hi, ss9999!

have you also submitted this Declaration Form here http://www.border.gov.au/WorkinginAustralia/Documents/declaration-form-visa-applicant.pdf ?

Or is it just a new thing that only applies to applications lodged after 14/12/2015 ( as I understand from this page http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work-1/payment-for-visas-declaration-requirement )?

You'll get it soon, mate! you're nearly there!

Cheers!

What!?!

How about your nomination lodged date?

looks like both on 20/08

thx all ur support! cant image how hard it might be without u. and best luck to all of u. gonna get some drink and might be cry for a while. this year is my 11th year in Aus. so happy finnaly get my pr. like a dream!

after 11 years in the country I'm sure you deserved it!!! congrats!

so guyz. i think it is improtant that u contact with immi office. i called them again and they comfirm they get my required doc and now they look into it.

my MA didnt try to help me contact and explain so didi it myself, now this work seems worth.

I guess it's only worth it if you're over the 6 month line, am I right?

That was "back in the good old days" so my nomination and application were lodged Oct. 7th and 8th, the nomination was approved Nov. 27th and the visa came through 5 days later.

wow those were really the good days...

I wonder what has changed since then... massive budget cuts affecting DIBP?

12 oct,got nominnation

14 oct,submit visa

3 dec,case allocated to co

hi mate,

"12 oct, got nomination": did you mean the Nomination was approved on 12/10?

May I ask you when did you / your company / your MA lodge the Nomination?

14/10 visa submitted and 3/12 case allocated to CO sounds like a pretty fast timeline, lucky you!

12 oct,got nominnation

14 oct,submit visa

3 dec,case allocated to co

hi @mengmianzzz ,

by "12 oct, got nomination" you mean the nomination was approved? may I ask you when did you / your company lodge your nomination?

14/10 visa application and 3/12 allocated CO sounds like a really fast timeline! lucky you!

Nomination 22/12/2014 (applied) 01/06/2015 granted

Visa application 23/6/2015

 

 

 

Seems like we both wanted to be on the safe side and wait for the Nomination to be approved before lodging the Visa application.

I'm pretty much on the same situation except the company lodged the Nomination in May, it was granted in October and then I lodged my Visa in early November (4/11). So based on your dates, seems like I should be expecting early April... I can't believe I still have to wait that long for my PR (hope not).

Anyway, I better forget about it for a while happy weekend to everyone!

You should put your timeline in your signature. It's under "Settings".

I've done so with mine... I've copied your format if you don't mind

hi everyone,

I've been a long time watcher of this thread and I'm posting today for the first time.

My company lodged the Nomination on 15/05 (TRT), they were requested further evidence on 17/09 and the Nomination was finally approved on 22/10.

I waited until the Nomination got approved to then submit my Visa application since I considered it the safest option (I've heard there's no chance to get a refund in case the Visa application is refused).

I've heard all sorts of situations in cases like mine... I've got a couple of friends that did it the same way and it only took them 6 weeks to get their Visa granted (they applied once the Nomination was approved, too). Although I'm seeing 4 to 5 months in most cases, according to the Spreadsheet.

Thanks everyone for your messages here and best of luck to you all!

ps. already added my case to the Spreadsheet. Thanks sapphilor for your signature reminder
