Hi I’m using this forum from last 7 years & its always helpful tO me. Now I m waiting for my citizenship ceremony from last 4.5 months in Wyndham city council victoria. Here is some important update if some in same boat as well. Thanks

My life story Early June 2016 nomination & 187 rsms visa applied as a cook from student visa & provide decision ready application with medicals, police clearance & AFP. Also include my overseas spouse in application as well with all the supporting documents marriage certificate medical, police clearance. student visa expired in july 2016, bridging visa A kicks on August 2016 applied for bridging visa B to travel overseas for one month Aftet coming back every single day hoping that today is my day and file will open today or tomarrow because processing times thoes days are 6 to 8 months which is slowely moved to 24 month As I was applied RSMS direct entry from student visa so my lawyer advise me unless you are granted any further visa you have to follow same visa conditions as you are following from previous visa, No more work than 20 hours per week. After waiting 18 months again applied bridging visa B second time to travel overseas last december. I also want to mention that our lawyer advice us to keep update every single BAS through out the application & we did. finally late march file opend and case officer ask for documents like business tax return for 2017 & 2018 lodge with ATO, Balance sheet, Profit & loss and for visa me and my spouse’s medical, AFP & police clearences All were provided in april and nomination granted in april Again we are hoping that as visa & nomination lodge togater both will granted together but PR granted after 62 days of nomination approval, Overall 25 moths from date of lodgment. THANKS ALL this forum is great help through out thOSE 25 moths.

Did your company done 2016-2017 tax ? As you mention your company is in profit & they lodge their 2016-2017 tax with profit then whats wrong with accountant its your legitimate right to ask for latter or 2016-2017 tax showing company in profit & heading toward prosperity..

I wish i could see this member more often on this forum.... All of his predictions that he made 6 months ago are slowly coming true.....

How long does a 457, ENS or RSMS visa take to process? It has been noted that the processing times for the Temporary Work (Skilled) (subclass 457) visa, Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) (subclass 186) visa, and the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) (subclass 187) visa have been getting longer in recent times. While the current Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) service standards list 2 to 3 months processing time for 75% of applications received, the actual processing times for most cases are around 5 months (based on recently submitted applications and comments by business sponsors and visa applicants in forums). Why is the processing getting slower? While there is no official explanation for the delay, the slower processing times might be due to increased screening of applications submitted by sponsors and visa applicants. Since the Independent Review report of the integrity in the Subclass 457 Programme released in September 2014, the Department has been stepping up integrity checks and controls for the majority of applications, especially those with the following characteristics: high risk occupations such as Café and Restaurant Managers, Customer Service Managers, Project or Programme Administrators, Retail Manager, etc. the applicant is related to the business owner as a family member or relative an unusually high salary for a low position to claim English Language Exemption the business has a low profit or is making a loss, and yet seeks to employ more people The Department is definitely concerned with the findings of the Independent Review about the integrity of employer sponsors and employee visa applicants for the employer-sponsored visas. In addition to the slower and more meticulous screening of applications submitted, the Department has also introduced related policy such as the “Payment for Visas Conduct”, which prohibits overseas worker to pay businesses in return for sponsorship, or businesses deducting salaries from the sponsored worker to recover sponsorship costs. Concerns with Genuine Position for Nominated Occupation in 457, ENS and RSMS visa applications Applications with the above scenarios are likely to be asked for further information by the Department to ensure that the vacant position is genuine and the applicant meets the requirements for the position with the business. Applications that are asked to provide more documents or information will be assessed more thoroughly by the Department and hence there will be a delay to the processing times with the back and forth of submitting information and douments. The rise in requests to provide further information are also causing assessment officers to spend more time per application, hence affecting applications that are straightforward genuine and complete when submitted. What does this mean for the business sponsor and visa applicant? With the expected delays the business sponsor and visa applicant need to consider the extended processing times to avoid any ill effects to the business operations (urgent need for the sponsored worker) or the visa applicant (leaving current employment too early). Additionally the business sponsor and visa applicant need to cross check before submitting the application to ensure all requirements are met for sponsorship, nomination and visa application. A strong application should be prepared with good supporting documents before submitting to the Department for processing.
