Hey buddy

Can you please tell me on which number did u call?

Thanks

Hi @Manish9001 I rang them on the number mentioned in the acknowledgement letter, instead of Department's generic contact center number (where the normal wait time is >60 mins, from experience). You can find the number mentioned at the footer of the letter. It may take few tries before the number is picked but the response is quicker. Hope this is helpful.

Hi

I received the “Golden email” yesterday, informing me that my Permanent Residency has been granted. My wife and I are over the moon, but even more so as we are expecting our first child in December (who will now be Australian). 

My heart goes out for all the people still waiting, particularly those who submitted in 2016. Stay strong and support each other.

For anyone who is interested, my timeline is as follows:

LR – 186 Transition – 2 people – Hydrogeologist

Submitted the application “decision ready” = 10/04/2017

Received an odd request for a “permanent contract” from the DIBP = 04/10/2017

My agent responded to the DIBP = 05/10/2017

Nomination and Permanent Residency was granted = 30/10/2017

Thanks,

Samuel

Congratulations!

Hi, 

Did you receive a notification saying your nomination is approved or did your employer tell you that it is approved.

Hi, 

My employers' MA updated me with the confirmation of nomination approval. My case was handled by 2 MAs. Last year, parent company of my organisation changed hence the nomination was submitted by new company's MA and then based on nomination reference number, my visa application was submitted by MA of my organisation. 

Hi All, 

I have been following this forum and it has been of great help in understanding whats been happening in 186 visa TRT/DE space. Very helpful!

I applied for my ENS 186 TRT visa in May 2017 through my organisations' MA and my details & timelines are - 

A family of 3, HR, TRT, ICT Business Analyst, 5.9

ENS Nomination - 5th May 2017

186 VISA Application - 16th May 2017

ENS Nomination Approval - 9th October 2017

186 Visa status - Received

I rang NSW PSE (processing center mentioned in the acknowledgment mail) couple of times and they have told me that case office has been allocated already around early October. 

My MA has not received any request for more documents so far. From your experience, how long after allocation, the Case Officer start reviewing the documents and asks for additional documents and/or makes a decision? Considering I was told that a Case Office is already allocated early October, I can safely assume that its been 3 weeks since allocation. 

Many thanks.
