Visa

Got PR few hours ago! Just next day after getting nomination approved.

Thank you guys, applied from Perth city, which is now out of the RSMS since labour won the state elections, but didn't affect me because I got my RCB was done and approved and nomination and visa applied a year before the change took place. Forgot to mention, Onshore and Direct Entry

Got silver e-mail this afternoon from my MA!! Nomination Approved today 23/05/17, no documents requested apparently. Applicants: 2 Country: LR Position: Retail Manager State: WA Processing center: NSW Nomination and Visa lodged same day, 14/04/16 Hoping for the golden e-mail very soooon, like tomorrow hopefully!!! Definitely I am calling IMMI tomorrow to check with them. Wish I brought some light for the retail managers, I know how punishing the wait is being with us. So hold on tight!

Maybe Immi reach the ceiling for retail managers and cooks and all those occupations applicants have been paused until the new financial year begins with a reset of yearly vacancies. That is my guess

14 April, going mental cuz overseas PC and Medicals close to 1 year....

12months 10 days, retail manager... Still received

4 months, unreal

So any grants this past week when forum was offline?

Imagine all applications in a Sushi train making circles, all opened files are put on the rail while they received or waiting ones are still in the queue out of the rail. When a CO takes a sushi plate he can either eat it and decide wether approve it, reject it or put it back in the loop requesting more documents, so next CO will pick it up, generally within 28 days, but we have seen some cases where is taking much longer. So again, patience

You're nearly there! Maybe this week?

And plan to remove RSMS from Perth metropol area... "Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme Perth is considered a region as part of the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS). Perth was added to the scheme in 2011 during the peak of the mining boom. The only Capital cities in Australia that are included in the RSMS are Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Darwin. Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane are not included in the RSMS. Other areas excluded from the scheme include the Gold Coast, Newcastle and Wollongong. A McGowan Labor Government will immediately seek to have Perth removed from the RSMS." "A McGowan Labor Government will: • On day one tear up the current list of occupations that fast tracks overseas workers to WA. • Work with industry to develop a new list that reflects WA’s changed economic circumstances. • Seek to immediately have Perth removed from the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme. • Keep WA jobs in WA." The most important question here is, will this affect to the people who applied before and are waiting for so long, like me, for almost a year? Here we go guys, if the waiting game wasn't enough, we got another thing to worry about now, the possibility of having our visa applications washed thru the toilet just like that. I hear here and there that It won't affect the applications that lodged before the implementation of this Labour executive order, but how sure is that? If logging in immi account twice a day and keeping reading posts from 187 thread wasn't enough, then keep an eye on the news for more fuel to our endless paranoia game. Good luck people from Perth!

From WA bro, I hope I get a CO allocated in 2 to 3 weeks time, as I red someone got told that they are processing end of March and some of beginning of April.
