The wait is finally over for me....... Applied Nom & Visa Oct 2016 - RCB approved straight away. Nom approved 22/06/18 - nothing requested except up to date police checks for visa as over one year old. Police checks submitted 02/07/18 and Visa approved 03/07/18!!! 21 months in total! So happy and relieved! Office Manager, QLD, 187 DE, onshore.

Wow - it must be a good time for Office Managers! Nomination approved today!! Office Manger Qld 187 DE Applied both nomination and visa October 2016. Finally!! Just to wait for the visa now!! ?

As a fellow Office Manager who applied in Oct 2016 for both nom & visa, this is very exciting news! Congratulations!

I believe they are doing exactly that. Certain occupations have not been touched or are getting the odd rejection/approval but hardly any! In my eyes this relates to Office Manager, Retail Manager, Chef and Cook. All other positions such as Childcare Room leader, Massage Therapist etc seem to get their answers much quicker. I am an office manager waiting since October 2016 and there has not been ONE office manager with a rejection or approval since I joined this forum probably a year ago!

HI Sahil pfs! Can I ask, what happened when immigration showed up at your office? What did they do/ask for? I just want to make sure I'm fully prepared! Thanks in advance

Yes I agree. Not one Office Manager grant or refusal.

Let me know if you get anywhere with it

Funny you should say that, when my partner called a few months back, they kept asking him the same question! Just kept coming back to whether the nomination had been approved. It hasn't though, or we would have heard from our agent. But a strange thing for them to say. Why would my agent need to send an email, it's pretty clear from our application that we would like it approved!!

Same. I applied Office Manager October 2016 and I'm within the waiting time 17-20 months (nearly 19 for me!) I would imagine you will be waiting at least another few months! :-/

18 months today!!! When will it end So fed up of hoping to hear every day. We want to go back to the UK in May but it's not looking likely as I refuse to pay even more money for a bridging visa B and would hate to get the news of a rejection when overseas! 187 DE, Office Manager, Nom & Visa Oct 16, QLD, low risk country, de facto included.

Wow - very similar! I know it's so annoying! But we have finally caught up with it so fingers crossed for getting the good news soon! Good luck

I'm in my 18th month now so feeling like I'm getting close! 187 DE, Office Manager, Nom & Visa Oct 16, QLD, low risk country, de facto included.

Reassuring knowing I'm not the only office manager waiting. Good luck to you.
