My nomination has been refused last week because of financial situation of the company,

in a word, they don't think a small company with such little income has the right reason to

hire a person from oversea.

It's sad to get a result like this after more than a year's waiting, but it comes eventually.

@SimonPang did you apply with a MA?

Yes, maybe the worst MA in the world, it's very hard to ask them making a call to IMMI.

Received a letter from IMMI today which replied my letter of 24 Jan, I mean a letter from a person instead of a machine.

The lady told me I should appreciate the opportunity this beautiful country provides, and they will do all they can to ensure that my application is finished as quickly as possible.

And, above all, my application has not been allocated yet, one year after I submitted. Sounds I should enjoy the waiting everyday, en?:confused:

Today, Another 'one year waiting guy' came into being......

Documents requested last Nov, nothing happened from then on.

I wrote a letter to them last week, even asked them to refuse me if they had appropriate reason. Unfortunately, nobody answer the letter:arghh:

Small company of 3 years, about 4~5 employees.

Obviously we got bad luck, it has been more than 10 months!

How many years of your company business? and how many employees are there?

 

I think we just bad luck.

 

PS. in early Nov a CO called our GM and asked for an hour things..... the CO is from WA and I am in NSW...

Looks like we met the same CO, my boss received the list the day before yesterday, just a little bit shorter than yours,

and, I think he has submitted all these materials at the beginning of the year expect super of other employee.

What the IMMI do is to put your file aside for a long time, then tell you they are expired...:arghh:

BTW, my timeline is almost same as yours, 29 Jan, 2016. The good news is that they picked up our files finally.

Hi all,

 

I received an email from MA yesterday regarding to further docs requests from Immi.

The list of document is very long including bank statements from the start of the business, every employees pay slip and super statement and their date of commence of the job.

company chart, on-going marketing plan , BAS, Current and historic lease agreements and more. we actually provide full 3 years BAS already...

 

However, my company have over 30 years of history, how can we provide that much. I ask my MA and she said provide every single items on the list as requested.

 

Anyone encounter the same thing? Do you think it is a standard request check list and usually for new business? How can we provide those items as on the list if we got

long history ......

 

My timeline:

Nom and visa 25 Jan 2016

1ppl, LR, Marketing Specialists

457-186

A letter from IMMI said that my application "has been recently allocated to a team for assessment", seems moved a tiny step, but I won't hope anything before X-mas....

You may contact them to ask the status and the reason of that, politely.

Mine has been put there for more than 9 months, now under assessment after I made 3 or 4 telephone calls.

Calling them maybe useless, maybe useful, only GOD knows. You cannot JUST wait......

1 year now no case officer allocated yet .....no response......feeling helpless......

2 weeks left to full 9 months........

So many good news yesterday, but not mine. Here is the response from IMMI:

Thank you for your email.

The application is not yet allocated to case officer.
