One doctor is also in this forum !! I think this forum is for all cooks and marketing specialist. 

Does Australia need any doctor? OMG

Australia needs only cook, chef, restaurant manager, marketing guys.... 

Anyway good..

I think some ripe asses will be enjoying commenting on this post.   

I literally can't work out if you are joking or not!

This forum has got a huge mix of people mate. The only reason it seems like marketing and cooks at the moment is because they are getting approved in batches for the past month so.

A few months ago it was ICT specialists, Rest managers etc.

My nomination approved on first ween of march 18..after that further assessment ..even provide all requested document and did call to immi two times as well but still same thing 

Yeah they haven't even asked for any docs from me so its just annoying.

HALOOOOOU-ME! (tell me you get it as it's one of my faves)

If I didn't get it I wouldn't deserve a visa

No good ones but plenty of bad ones. What does cheese say when it looks in the mirror

Go on...

Still nothing......Trust me. Gets worse after a nom approval as you are so close ha!

Anyone got a good joke to take the edge off?

If I see one person ask where the immi time has gone I may scream

Quick tip: it means nothing and is replicated on the main site!!!

I have a really dumb Q (lol) - mine's all been done through an MA right so I don't exactly know what's been done - my company sponsors a number of people for 457s and 186s and the most recent 186 grant through the company was like last month. Does every single person have a different nomination? (pre warned this was a basic q so don't bite!)

Yes mate. (LOL)

P.S No news. Will be in 3 months I reckon knowing my luck!

Currently on a 457 Visa which was granted March 2015 until March 2019.  I transferred to a new company on my 457 as of June 2016.  Given the recent changes to the 186 visa TRT stream, I am assuming I would still be eligible?  https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/work/newsletters/march-2018

I held my 457 visa before 18 April 2017, so the changes to the occupation list shouldn't apply and I have been in my current role for >2 years now.

I just wanted to validate the above is correct for the TRT stream before applying.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Correct. You are eligible.

Congrats @Parkesy happy for you.

Is your status changed on immi account.

I got my nomination approved last month.

Status still showing received,no document were requested,and no news after that.

 

No still not changed mate. When was yours approved? That worries me! Exactly the same boat as me. What occupation?

Yeah I don't know why I didn't to be honest, think the level of paperwork just overwhelmed me haha! I'm hoping to hear something soon - recruiters seem to go through relatively quickly (no idea why, seems unfair to me), so hoping for once in my life to not be the anomaly here! Has your status changed on your immi account now?

Still the same mate. Annoying!

45 minutes ago, pzuk said:

That's awesome!! Did you do your application yourself or through MA? Can't remember - always wondered whether calling would help but MAs can put the fear factor in you saying if you contact the dep directly they can't represent you as don't know what's been said lalalala....

Ive done all visas myself. Just found it so much easier and my applications have always been super straight forward.

Just an update.

Could't help but call the NSW office and got through within 15 seconds. I wanted to know if there was anything I needed to provide as my nom was approved with no docs requested.

Had a quick chat with a very nice lady who checked the file. She said they were assessing it now and it would be very soon.

Call in total was probably 2mins long max.

So..its coming soon!

Guys any news about the processing time?

i checked my account but still nothing

There are updated times on the website.

They have just removed the times from inside the IMMI portal. Nothing to worry about.
