Hi everyone and @Izzielizzie @badaich87 @syd2016 @APR15 @Khushi02aug @Elliotkan Finally it's my turn to post something positive. I got both my nomination and visa approval today. Applied both nomination and visa on 14th April 2016 through agent Occupation is Market Research Analyst - (This is now a removed occupation as per new rules. Luckily i had applied last year) Nomination got approved first, after which i was asked for employer referral letter (which we submit during skill assessment). I submitted that immediately and got visa approval within another hour or so. Few suggestions to people waiting - My agent did NOT submit form 80. So pretty much what they request depends on your case. I did pester my agent to submit it after reading threads online. However ensure you submit what they need, don't panic on reading other peoples' cases like I did please. I know the wait is very very stressful, however make sure you do not let it get onto you like it did to me. Staying calm is hard, but try. If you have an agent try following up through the agent because a couple of times the immix people who received my calls have given me different answers to the same questions and also asked me to contact via agent, not directly. Thank you very much! This forum has been my only support after my family back in my home country. I will pray for all of you waiting. Cheers!

Congratulations mate!! Thanks for sharing, this gives me so much hope. Have applied both visa and nomination just a day before you on 14th April 2016, waiting since. Good luck to you!

@syd2016 I lodged last year in April 2016 as a Market Research Analyst. My MA has informed me that the applications lodged prior to the changes will not be affected. However, I do feel that such removed occupations are taking hell lot of a time for approval. For example, I am waiting since so long. Also, the fact that when I last called immigration they said the application won't be allocated anytime soon. Is your occupation removed too? Is anyone in the same situation like me? Thanks!

Khushi02aug Oh! I wasn't aware of this. Its an open forum and you can voice your opinion. All we can do is share information or give suggestions based on experience. You were only trying to help others, don't feel bad or hurt. Good luck mate!

Hi to all those waiting since over a year. I called the department today and the guy who received told me clearly that my case has not been allocated until now and will not be allocated anytime soon. He asked me whats the urgency. And obviously my reply was that its been one year and i am tired of waiting. He also mentioned that since i have an agent, calling the department for status updates is not going to help me in anyway and the best was to contact the department is via the agent. I have a feeling that because my occupation is removed from the list, they are probably waiting for the new financial year to allocate my case My suggestion to you guys is that if you have an agent, try to contact the department only through them.

Me too. Waiting from over 1 year

Can you share the link to this article please? Is it published by the department? Thank you!
-
@Dale_g I can totally understand your frustration. There are other people on this forum waiting since Feb-April 2016 as well. We have been calling the department and getting the same response. Each time they say it should be allocated in another month but nothing ever happens. The only option they have left for us is to wait. However I wonder, how long do we wait - indefinitely?
-
Guys, is the automated email reply the same- Processing April to August files OR has the reply changed and moved to processing May? Thank you!
-
Congratulations to all those who got grants. I guess the forum was offline for quite a few days. Any updates March/April 2016 DE applicants please? Any information will be helpful. Thank you!

@October 16 -- can you please provide me more information on : 'Also depending on your occupation your application can be processed before or after a certain DE application of the same month' Like can you re-direct me to the link which talks about this please or any extra information you have? Many Thanks!

@Izzielizzie, @badaich87, @April16 ----> So I don't know whether to feel sad or satisfied with the new updated timelines. Because some of us have already hit the 11 month mark and still waiting, which would mean we may be in the 10%. Best is to avoid negative thoughts, however, each day this process only seems to get more complicated. @jess6 - good decision. I agree with your analysis and think if I fall in the 10% may be i am queued for next year Good luck to you! Hoping for the best for all of us waiting since so long. Take care.

@Izzielizzie Yes we have hit 11 months and soon it will be 12. As much as we try to be positive, this process seems to not respond. I have not received any update from my MA and have not bothered to reach out to them either because i already know the replies i will receive, both from the MA or the department. They keep saying that they are understaffed, however, that is no reason to keep people hanging for one year without any notification. And if they really are understaffed then applications should be processed on first come first serve basis and if some case is complicated they should just notify saying this will take time to process so hold on. Receiving some outcome is better than receiving none. So basically the processing timeline says 6 months for 186 visas and we have already almost waited for double the time without a single notification. How much more ridiculous can it get? I know our cases are strong with all documents uploaded and such like. However, in case they thought our cases were complicated and left them for later, how complicated can a case even get that they can't even just send one update in 12 months?? My frustration and depression have reached its maximum limit now.
