Hi all,

Hi Hapy,

My work received a call from IMMI yesterday in the morning. They have asked us to resend a contract of employment as on the copy they have signature of my boss is barely visible. We have done that straight away. Nothing since.

But, it gives me hope that it is being looked at again.  

Hey all, I thought I will share this with you guys, my work has called immi today for follow up and they said that once documents are requested by the CO over the phone they put the file aside for 7 days. 

So then we can make a conclusion that internally IMMI has the following time frames:

- 6 months until file can be allocated to CO for assessment after submission

- 28 days until file is picked up again after email with request for more information is sent. 

- 7 days until file is picked up again after phone call is made to get further additional information

Due to workload assessors might not be able to keep up with these time frames, but this is what we have been advised. 

Hope it helps to address some of your expectations, also if you had request for info and haven't heard anything from them, call them or get your employer to call them.

Hi Hapy,

My work received a call from IMMI yesterday in the morning. They have asked us to resend a contract of employment as on the copy they have signature of my boss is barely visible. We have done that straight away. Nothing since.

But, it gives me hope that it is being looked at again.  

Congratulations to all recent PR holders, great to see some movement after Easter and all the changes.  

Seems that September files that have been requested for additional documents are not being picked up yet. I have been asked for more documents on 23rd March and provided them on 31st March, nothing since... 

Considering to call them later this week..

Best of luck to all still waiting.  

Wasn't IMMI supposed to release that new application time frame tracking website already? Has anyone seen it yet?

So many approvals over weekend, great to see that. Probably no one was calling to check on statuses so assessors were able to concentrate on applications.

Congratulations to all who received their PR! Good luck on you new life!

Hi Kaliam07

 

Getting nervous and excited isn't it.

 

We lodged our nom on the same day and hope both of us can get it soon !

Mate, words cannot explain. I am not sure if I can live with these feelings for long time, so I really understand how difficult it is for Izzie and other people who have not had any communication from IMMI for a long time...

Any how best of luck to you and everyone, hope IMMI staff gets through our apps soon, if they short on staff perhaps they should sponsor someone for 457 lol:)

Morning folks,

 

noticed that esmejeff got Nom&visa approved yesterday.

 

(Nom&visa lodged on 14th September.)

 

Congratulations esmejeff ! This means September application is now in full swing.

 

Wish all of us can get our visa shortly !

Yes, I have noticed that too. Also already quite a few Sept 17 people have been requested for docs, it means that a lot of Sept files have been reviewed.

Thank you Nikki,

 

i do have payg summary for two years but in that payg i don't think superannuation is included.

PAYG Summary only lists additional contributions made by your employer, i.e. anything on top of minimum contribution required.

Your payslips should be showing super payments made to you.

You should look into this as your employer must pay super to you and that is your money.

Actually you might be right, I have just read conditions of Bridging Visa and it does say that is not taking effect because of 457. Did not know that...

 

I have got 457 visa on 21 september 2014 for 1 year because of my sponsor restaurant was new in business. I again apply visa on 20/9/2015 and on this time it took 5 months to get approval, so on 20/02/2016 i got 457 visa for 4 more years. According to the law after 2 years we can apply for PR(ENS 186) so i applied on 10/10/2016 for ENS 186 visa so from that day i am on bridging visa A and its been nearly 5 months waiting period.

My questions are:,

1. As per migration agent though now i am in ENS Bridging Visa A, I don't have to apply Bridging Visa B to travel to other country because i still have valid 457 visa for 3 years more, IS THIS TRUE ?

 

 

My answer to 1. is not as optimistic as Syd2016, to my understanding you can only travel with Bridging Visa B even if you had 457 visa before, 457 is not valid any more and you fully operate under Bridging Visa A terms. I might be wrong though...

Anyone got 186 lodged in Sep last year ?

Hi, I will also make my first post Nom 13/09/16, Visa 15/09/16 HR Transition from 457 Finance Broker

By the looks of it we still need to be very patient for at least 2 months, but it is good to see some late July applications approved, cannot believe that we are getting close.

Hi Minh123,

When you say bank, which bank you are talking about? Have you tried to approach more than 1 bank?

I am a finance broker and can tell you that there are so many properties in Australia that do not have appropriate council approvals, but many lenders are still able to lend money for purchases of these properties.

You will not be able to get out of this contract without losing your deposit, and vendor can also chase you for more money to compensate his loses.

I would recommend to do everything you can to settle.
