Oct16

Thanks, I thought so too. It was just that two boxes were ticked instead of one on the declaration form. They asked him to resubmit which he did, but because of time difference between states they didn't receive it by COB and made it invalid overnight. We appealed it but they said they couldn't override the invalid status.

Hi everyone, I've been silently following this forum on and off for almost a year now. My partner applied for the 186 transition in February last year and the application was made invalid in October (due to a simple paperwork error). It was a huge disappointment but he has reapplied and we're waiting to hear something. Just have a question someone may be able to answer. His employer submitted their nomination on 14 October but his application didn't go in until 22 December. His MA recently said that his file won't be open yet as it's a December file, however when we requested priority for this application (back in December which was refused), immigration stated he was an October file. So ... do immigration use the nomination or application date as the order of when they open files? Hope that all made sense!
