    That must be frustrating - it does seem looking through the spreadsheets though that many of the uni lecturer roles seem to be approved in about 5 months (that said my husband's uni role is not as lecturer but faculty head). I guess there will always be exceptions but I can see why the perception exists that these type of roles do seem to be approved faster. Fingers crossed your's will be sorted soon.

    No one should be waiting that long for these decisions that put their lives on hold in this way. 4 months felt painful enough (well that's on the back of another 2 years wait to apply for transition). I can only imagine how it feels to be waiting a year or more :-(

    We got a call from our migration this morning with the good news that our PR was granted today (from NSW PESE). Transition Visa for 5 people as a Faculty Head (in a university). Applied for nomination on 8th Sept 2017 and main application in on 18th Sept 2017. We heard about both at the same time (no extra info requested after applying). I've had to login to view all 5 letters for myself to believe it! We have clearly been lucky with a short wait time but hope it reassures people that the immigration team are working! We can finally start making some decisions about secondary school for our oldest child and all sorts of other things. Good luck to everyone still waiting - such a difficult time especicially those of you waiting a year or more!

    Congratulations to you - what a great Christmas present! personally think it is encouraging to hear positive stories with all the (justified) frustration felt by so many here who have been waiting so long, so no need to delete! It is interesting though that others are being told that they are only processing until June 2017 when that clearly isnt' the case! Enjoy!

    Sorry - me being confusing there. Yes thanks - I know someone (perhaps it was you!) did tell me that about the nomination. In any case I meant the application not the nomination. Doesn't really matter I guess as it's not as though it actually makes anything go any faster to be able to personally check it - probably makes it feel even longer!! Time to forget about it for a while perhaps - well pretend not to be thinking about it anway

    Thanks - is there any reason why we can't import the application to our IMMI account (where we have our 457, other short visas from before this and medical information)? Our letter the MA forwarded from IMMI said: "You can use your application ID XXXXXXXXXX in ImmiAccount to search and view your application before it has been decided. To access ImmiAccount visit our website at www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa/Immi" So I just assumed if we put the ID number and passport number in it would link the application to our immi account.

    So today we put in the actual Visa application - put in the Employer nomination 10 days ago. So now I guess we just sit and wait (and wait....!)? One thing though to keep me occupied is that I notice our nomination is not showing in our IMMI account. I'm wondering if this is because our MA lodged it. Do I import it so that I can see any developments (though obviously not expecting any for many months). Oddly I actually feel less settled now we're waiting on this compared to when we knew our 457 was active and running until June 2019 as I assume if this application is unsuccessful we may lose our 457 and have to return to the UK even sooner. Odd feeling!

    Hi no we didn't have isofix in the UK.

    Ah thanks - so it won't matter if my husband is out of Australia over the coming few months (our 457 expires in June 2019) but if we haven't heard about PR by june 2019 (!!!) then the BVA kicks in and we can't leave the country without a BVB? Crikey these things are all very complicated - I tried to read through it all on the immigration site last night and my head was spinning from it all! I also keep hearing rumours about having to leave the country briefly when PR is awarded but I guess that's a whole separate issue!
  10. FKS
    Ok thanks - my husband has to work trips out of the country before Christmas so I was just panicking that he couldn't leave the country etc! Funny our MA hasn't mentioned this - or maybe they didn't as it doesn't change anything for us. Good luck with your application!

    OK thanks - we've only put in the nomination (last week) but were expecting to put in the main application in the next day or so. So the bridging Visa will run until the same date. I don't know much about it but thought the bridging visas were quite short term (e.g. wouldn't run until June 2019).
  12. FKS
    Is that for all 457 visa holders? Or just those whose 457s expire? Our 457 runs out in June 2019 and I'm hoping we're not already onto bridging Visas before we've heard anything about PR.

    I am no expert on this but we asked a question of our MA recently and they said "There is no longer any framework priority processing for ‘Decision Ready’ applications." It doesn't sound very encouraging but I don't know if this is just with our agent or an immigration thing. Awful situation for you :-(
  14. FKS
    Thanks that's helpful. I just got paranoid they hadn't actually lodged it. Will hopefully lodge main application very soon - just still finalising documents to be attached.

    Does anyone know if you log into your immigration account whether an employer nomination should show up. Our MA lodged our nomination on Friday but there is nothing to suggest it has been lodged there. Perhaps it only shows something when you lodge your actual Visa application? I wasn't sure - the only thing we can see on our immigration site is our medicals as we had these done a couple of weeks ago and then our 457visa which were finalised a few years ago. Thanks.
