Dear all, I had a call from my migrant agent today telling me that a case officer has been allocated to my file. It happened in the afternoon as in the morning the status of my visa was still as "received". After the call, I checked my status again and it was, and still is, as "Initial assessment". The documentation required is just a new "health check". Got 28 days to attach the new medical examination that I will do on Monday if I can. My time line: RCB, nomination and visa sent in July 2016 (on the 13 July 2016 my ma received the email regarding the IMMI acknowledgement valid application received). Basically waiting for 23 months and 1 day. 187 visa DE as a baker in South Australia. Waiting for the good news...! Cheers

Yes sir, my agent applied RCB, then Nomination and Visa at the same time, on the 5th of July 2016. After 3 weeks, more or less, the RCB has been approved. I knew it only because my migrant agent sent me an email with the approved document attached.

Nah, it's your obligation to work for 2 years after the visa is granted. It is written under "your obligation" on the Gov internet site (https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa-1/187-).

Dear Mohit100, I definitely think that Mr. Dutton is doing what is best for Australia. I only think they should follow a chronological order, or at least to give the priority to those who are waiting for so long.

Someone knows the reason why the DIBP does not process the visa following a chronological order? I have been waiting since July 2016 for a 187 direct entry visa in South Australia working with the same employer since the end of 2014. Honestly piss me off seeing someone else waiting for much less receiving the PR...geez!

The same here...

Even worse, since July 2016...

Which kind of proof does the case officer need then? Has your migrant agent been contacted by the case officer for more documentation?

What about the contract?

Why? What's the reason of tge refusal? How long have you been waiting for?

My goodness, and happened after waiting 18 months or so??? Geez, all the best for your appeal. Let please us know how it is going...

How come your migrant agent did not know it? Does he/she have a bit of experience or what? What now? What's the next move?

Absolutely agree. I spoke with my agent few months ago and he said there were processing April - June 2016...moreover holidays are coming soon, so they will stop for a month or so...

What the hell are you talking about? There is no "forced" shit. The owner can be fined up to 200.000$ for slavery. Got overtime paid? If no, talk to the fairwork commission and sue them. At least you get back some cash. If he fired you and your visa has not been granted, you lose everything...you need to find a new sponsorship. I suggest you to talk to your migrant agent or with the immigration department as soon as you can. I reckon without been 100% sure that you got up to 3 months to find a new sponsorship.
