    Keep on hanging on! Marketing specialists are having an unprecedented approval rate right now!

    Hi Tony. Good to put a name to that row on the spreadsheet (I'm guessing that's you on the October sheet?). Just to be clear - I haven't had nomination approved or even opened yet, I was congratulating someone else. My sponsor is a statewide not-for-profit human services organisation (non-government but partly gov funded). Around 1,200 staff. And I'm not sure if it'd be appropriate to share turnover and salaries. cheers.

    Congrats! It's looking good for the marketing crew that have been waiting a long time (i.e. - not me, just yet!)

    Who put in the nomination? Whoever submitted nomination will get updated when it is approved (your employer's immi account?)
  5. millski88
    They're only already filled by the applicant if it's TRT. Direct Entry people will be waiting to start the job.

    Worthwhile read on that second link. Interesting point.

    Sure, in that sense I’d say it’s more a case of ‘is employer already approved to sponsor’ or not though, to be honest. Agreed, for an applicant whose employer must apply to sponsor before nominating/at the same time as attempting a nomination, or are smaller and have little history with DIPB, the application could and should be scrutinised more closely. You might have been getting in to pointy territory if it had been a claim of ‘first-come/first-served’ based on some sort of corporate favouritism lol.

    If you don't mind me asking - what about the sponsor are you convinced influences the priorities?

    My Immi Account says 8-11 months for TRT but the Global Processing Times says 8-9 months. Not that it's really that accurate, as we know, but does anyone know which is most up to date?

    Woooooo! That is, i think, the forth or fifth marketing grant in the last couple of weeks!
  11. millski88
    Yay for Marketing!........ boooo for 12 months hahaha. Congrats.

    Nah i think it's from visa app date, isn't it?
  13. millski88
    Awesome news! 11.4 months though… still so far away for me if my wait is as long as that!

    Sending out warm wishes and the best of luck to everyone today

    Yep, i think the info above might be a little misleading if i'm honest. I spoke to NSW PESE a few weeks ago on the phone and they said wait to be requested before getting new police certs if they expire. If they provided that info a few weeks ago and then u-turn on it, it's not going to be easy to reject visas based on that.
  16. millski88
    Yeah agreed, same here. i'll do the same. Tom

    Great, that’s fine. This stuff was uploaded by employer in October when the app went in, and I’m about to upload an update myself showing payslips, salary payments in to bank, superannuation payments etc. So after that it’ll be up to date completely. What do they actually expect though really, that each fortnight we upload a payslip, bank statement and superannuation statement? Seems a bit OTT. I’m surprised they would refuse visa over asking for this as an update when the case is opened. Otherwise you could be going through that fortnightly process for up to a year or longer, it’d all get very messy in the immi account!

    Hey @Bellabonkers thanks for outlining, i'd seen this mentioned before but wasn't sure what it was. Do you know if I’m correct in thinking this applies to DE only applications though? I’ve just informed my HR contact at work who lodged the nomination, just in case, but when I read the check lists again I’m not sure this applies to TRT nominations: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa-1/186-#tab-content-1 See the two DE and TRT specific employer check lists (in step 1 on that page) – DE mentions BAS but TRT doesn’t seem to mention it… Tom

    this is why i've never used an MA
  20. millski88
    Yeah that is suprising! Doesn't sound like a target for a spot check visit.
  21. millski88
    Good to hear. I do think it's hard to speculate on patterns based on job type when we've only got visibility of a few hundred (max) applications in our sample group, out of tens of thousands actually being processed (i also want to believe this as i'm in application as a marketing specialist too )
  22. millski88
    Nice. I didn't use an MA, so can't comment on others' experience, but thanks for sharing!
  23. millski88
    Yeah might be worth a try. Although I'm noticing that docs are requested pretty quickly if anything is missing, but if the app is submitted with all necessary docs it just sits and waits... and in reality I probably still have a long time to wait! Very promising hearing your story though.
  24. millski88
    Ah ok, so you had already been contacted to submit docs previously.
  25. millski88
    Nice Kal! We're quite close in submission date. I'm interested to know how that conversation went with NSW PESE for you to get that info... did you just straight out ask them to look for an update?
