Thank you so much @jess6 and @Lzzielizzie - my fellow DE Marketing peeps Wishing you both hear word soon!! This forum has been really helpful putting even the tiniest bit of transparency into this long, awful, anxious, waiting game. I definitely feel the camaraderie and appreciate all the well wishes and input from everyone. Waiting never gets easier, there are moments of hopelessness, but the time will come. It WILL happen.

Thanks @MASNON and @Richo @canadaf My company is mid-size but international - 100 in total and 60ish for my location. Not sure size if the company matters as much as their records and financial organisation. My husband's company sponsors and they are only 3 people.

AHHHHHHHH!!!! I just received a magical call from my MA that my Nomination was approved. Words can not express how amazing this feels after 10 months of anxious waiting. DE People - fingers crossed this means we haven't been forgotten. DE x 2 LR, Nom & Visa 14 March 2016 NSW

Indeed. A follow-up note that my MA confirmed there did appear to be a stop to DE application allocations since February (my MA's perception from a view of their other clients, not offical word). Sucks, but a slight relief I'm not the lone goat that fell through the cracks! :goat:

Hi Everyone - I've had a update from my MA that Immi has amended their auto response. They are now saying applications lodges between February and June are being reviewed (no longer saying 'early' or 'mid' February). Not really helpful, but an update is better than nothing. **This is an automated response regarding ENS 186/RSMS 187 applications. Please do not respond to this email** Email Updated on 22 December 2016 IMPORTANT INFORMATION We are currently allocating ENS/RSMS cases lodged between February and June 2016, however not all cases in this date range have been allocated. You may be contacted when your case is allocated or if further information is required. Please note that we will not respond to status enquiries.

Thanks so much for sharing. It's the little drips and drabs of information that keep the hope alive and patience topped up!

Hey - I'm also a DE waiting from March. Word from my MA is that Transition applicants are looking like 6-8 months and going pretty steady, however, DE applications are held up - there's no understanding of why. I've been told waiting a year is a reality. (2 x DE LR, Marketing Specialist, no word.)
-
Hey @Lzzielizzie - thanks for sharing your story - it helps to know we are all in company of people who understand our anxiety, frustration, hopelessness and even regret! Somehow, we will all get there! I am the perpetual thorn in my MA's side as well, getting super anxious i'm at NINE months with no word on Wednesday. Her advice is to prepare for January and potentially waiting a year is a reality. I have found in this time of so much uncertainty and no transparency, managing my own expectations has helped. We will both get there!!! Sending you positive vibes! -------- 14 March 2016 Nom & Visa DE x 2 ppl - LR

This process has taken so long I might as well have applied via transition instead of DE! Best of luck everyone, we have to laugh or we'll crumble into a pile of anxiety!
-
Hello lovely, patient people. Has anyone had an update on the auto email status? The auto email has said Immi is still 'working' on February 2016 since September... wondering if anyone has had any offical update? We can tell by the spreadsheet that they should be well past Feb, but just checking if anyone has had any offical communication? Thanks!

Hey @Zee and @badaich I am also still waiting from March 2016. No word, nothing. Wish I had more value or advice to offer! The waiting game continues. Nom/Visa 14 March DE LR x 2 Marketing Specialist
-
Geez. I feel for you. What are your timeline details? nom/visa dates LR/HR DE/Transition #Ppl if you don't mind?
-
Hey @Lzzielizzie I totally understand how you feel. The anxiety comes in unbearable waves, sometimes it feels like ::everything:: hangs on the application outcome. Please know we will all be ok. We have MA's to fight in our corner if there is an issue and a community who is here to support. Chin up!! Sending good energy your way
-
I've just gotten the same update as well from my MA today. Their observation was that it would seem that DIBP is currently splitting the applications and are further ahead with transition and Direct Entry applications are lagging. The wait continues...
-
@tuckersgirl - did your MA say that your recent application would take ~8 months or across the board they're taking about that long for past, present and future applications? thanks!
-
Hey @Raj - I'm still waiting as well, but from March. No contact yet, no nothing. Hang in there! 13 March Nom & Visa DE x 2 LR Marketing Specialist

Hey @Zee - I totally understand your anxiety. I too have been waiting for 8 months with no word from immi and my MA insisting I keep waiting. Her advice was that there is no logic to the process, some cases get quick review and some take longer. It's not always first come first serve and all we can do is wait. However, once you have a case officer assigned, things will move quickly! Keep your chin up. 13 March Nom/Visa DE 2ppl x LR

Has anyone had an email from Immi stating they have moved beyond processing Feb? If so could you update the sheet - would be great to hear they're progressing on their official communications.
-
Hey @Shivathakur4 - yes they applied for nom and visa at the same time in May and were granted both at the same time yesterday morning.
-
I heard the good news from a friend who applied in May and was granted PR yesterday with no docs requested (LR/Transition). Awesome news for them, but have heard from my MA that the DIBP’s processing times are all over the place and cases don’t always get processed in the order they are received. Still waiting....no word. 13 March Nom/Visa LR/DE
-
Did you or your MA receive an email from Immi stating they were working on April?
-
SO happy for everyone getting their approvals through! Good energy. :laugh: Wondering if anyone knows if there is a priority or more process required in accessing Direct Entry applications vs Transitions? I'm seeing so many applications around mine go green, but no word. The anxiety is so painful. Nom/Visa: 13 March Direct Entry, LR, 2 ppl
-
Also! After months and months of painful waiting, there will be nothing more satisfying than updating that bloody spreadsheet into GREEN!! Don't take that away from me, I literally dream about it.
-
Hey everyone - question - why are there now 'owners' of the spreadsheet? Whilst I appreciate the custodianship, the inability to edit or update in real time is impacting the usefulness of seeing updates in real time. Wondering if there was a reason it's now locked or if it can go back to being a user populated form? Either way is cool, wondering the reason.
