Thanks all ....!!

Ok guys ... its my turn Just got the good news .... Visa applied 17/07/2015 Approval 08/01/2016 I'm happy but at the same time hoping that all will be well for the rest of ya'll that's waiting ... keep ya head up guys

Hi , my wife and I are in NT after 2 years being in VIC . We got cheated by a MA of almost 10 k and had to leave Aust as soon as possible .. We packed our bags and left to home country ..All our plans of living the dream , starting a family went crashing down ... 2 years later we tried again , this time much research and preparations were done , we are back in NT under RSMS now .. waiting for our visa grant ... My point of relating our story here is .. - Please do your research properly , speak to people who have taken this route .... - Weigh your options , you are not planning to move to MARS , it may not be suitable for kids so maybe husband comes first ? - Other than consulting a MA please go to the Aust embassy and do your own fact finding , you'll be surprised at how much more info you will get (True Story) - Remember you can always lodge your own visa , follow the checklist and speak to the Immi Officer for better clarifications and eligibility .Formalize it via email to keep track of conversation - Last but not the least , think this through and do what your heart desire as Aussie is worth every bit of it ! , i know its rather easier said and done ... hence you can chose to stay where you are and forget about this whole thing

Congrats @ cosmos !! good to know that july applications are being processed now ... not to long now i guess

A brand New Year brings a brand new hope all ! Congratulations to those who have 'ended' their wait ! The rest of us have to just soldier on .....

Spot on with the Career bit ... I still believe racial discrimination is looming large in the working environment . Was reading through a MA post on 457 visa and was saddened to see all those hate messages. Scary ....

Good day all !! another day of hope begins !! Congrats to those who have already got their PR !!

Good day all , another week gone and a brand new 'half a week ' lets hope for the best !!

Guess its just the waiting game then , i Just wish my MA would communicate with us more often than they are currently .....

Last week was my first email to my MA after lodging my visa ... how do i check when was the nomination lodged and my processing center ?

Thanks @Deb22 i hope all the July applicants get their visa in December and move on to August and so on ... I'm ok with the wait as long as i'm informed on whats happening . its called 'managing clients expectation' .... but what ya do ... this is how it is ... To all who are waiting , 'Keep ya head up , to every dark night there's a bright day ' #tupac

Sorry ... typo there , i lodged on 17/07 so its 5 months

Hi all , good day ... another day of hope resumes ! today marks the 5th month ( exactly) from the date of my application . I have yet to hear from immi or my MA on my visa or nomination . Sent an email to MA last week and no response till to date ! its kinda annoying ... all we need is some from of communication to tell us whats going on . Wonder if this is a norm , any experienced suggestions on how to go about this ? Any MA's in this forum that can shed some light into this ?

I applied 17/07 - still no news yet ... based on immi's auto reply ...they are allocating mid july's file .. so even if my file is allocated to a CO this week, i'm assuming it will take a week for a decision to be made ... so i'm expecting either by end of December or early Jan . And looks like VIC processing center is working faster than the rest as ,someone got their PR applied on the 21 /07 . Good news is ... July files are being worked on .... Not so good news is its being worked in December where everything and everyone slows down ....haih...

Congrats !! all the best and enjoy ! Mine is 17 / 07 visa lodged , all medicals and Ilets submitted still no update on Visa or nomination . I have sent email to MA 3 woking days ago to check on the nomination but no response till to date

a brand new week ! lets hope for some positives !!!

Nomination lodged : no idea as the MA refused to tell us , hence no status update as well Visa Lodged : 19/07/2015 - police checks , medicals , Ilets all submitted within the 28 days time frame after visa being lodged Occupation : Early Childhood Educator - Darwin Processing Center : No idea ... Just waiting waiting and waiting , hoping to get PR before Christmas .... hope is fainting away ...

Congrats mate !! but based on your timeline it took too long , any idea why ??

congrats rajan , ur not far away ... any other July applicant updates ?

Finally we some July files being processed ... Lets hope they double up for this month ! Nomination and Visa applied 21/07 - still waiting ... with lots of hope

Applied 21 st July , no news yet Nom same day , no update as well but based on the current trending of visa's getting approved , it takes exactly 6 months if not more for approvals , and roughly 10 to 15 days after nomination is approved Again this is based on the success stories i see on this forum . So July babies , looks like we have to be patient and let December past through , with the hopes that there are less applications for July and the holiday season will ring/bring us joy instead ... I was also checking out other forums and they too face similar predicament . There are other visa applicants waiting for theirs to be approved as well . By the looks of it immi is doing their job well and i'm sure they will have planned for the holidays ( fingers crossed ) in terms of staffing and so on . So till then i'm afraid its more waiting .. #myhearttellsmetoplanamassivexmasparty

Congrats @ Nani ! enjoy !!

Thanks APR , i hope we get our visa's soon , will check with the employer on the nomination bit !! cheers

Congrats to those who got their visa and nomination approved ! You guys deserve it ! As for us its still a pain painstakingly a long wait . TBH i dont mind the wait as i know we are well within the 6 months processing period but its always good to know the progress if any . That's why i believe some are just losing it Our timeline as below Visa applied 22 July Nomination - have no idea weather its been approved or not or even applied ! Our MA is very reluctant to provide any sort of information to us . Our call to them met with a response saying .. ''we cant disclose such information to you .... We can only let your employer know ..... as of now we see your nomination is not approved yet '' Our medicals , police check and all other documents have been provided to them on August . We have not heard from our MA since . No idea if we even have a case officer or not . LOL ! Any idea what can we do to check for information while we continue waiting .. please advice guys
