My visa was APPROVED last night!! 

LLL, i honestly think you are on to something by calling immigration! or it's just a complete coincidence but I called immigration on Tuesday and the guy as i mentioned wasn't very helpful and didn't give much away.

I hope you all hear back from very soon for those who are waiting.

Thank you for your help!

Great to hear the good news. Enjoy

Hi Guys,

my 186 visa was submitted March 2017 

it was allocated to a CO 28th Feb 2018 requesting more info from my employer regarding the nomination and a PC as it had expired.

this was all provided mid-March.

still haven't heard anything back and it's becoming increasingly frustrating.

anyone in the same boat or have a rough idea how long I should be waiting for a decision?

could it be possibly another 12 months or so?

any help here would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

 

On the letter they request for more information, there should be a number. Please prepare your file number, TRN number, application ID then call that number to check. 

My nomination approved on Mar.28th but immigration asked for the AFP.    35 days after I submited the AFP, I still didn’t receive the visa approval. I can’t help and called immigration cause some people get visa approved few days after submit doc or at least after 28 days.

the lady who answered the phone is really friendly and patient. I told her my AFP is submitted 35days ago but still no update and I start to get worried. She asked my file number then said can’t find anything, then I ask her to  check using TRN, she said ok I saw the updated AFP and I will finalize it now. 5 mins later visa status change from further assessment to finalized.

i don’t understand how this happen maybe system glitches. To me, worth to call them as nothing to harm.

all the best with the visa

Me neither, I got docs requested on mar 28, submitted on the same day, and after one week we sent the same doc to the new processing staff as the previous one was one vacation. The status is still further assessment.

Hopefully we can hear some good news very soon...some people seems very quick after submit docs..?

Any updates for your visa?

Nah not yet. I submitted the AFP on Apr.10th and still further assessment. Not sure how long will it take...it is being processed by VIC 

how about you

Hi guys can you check 186 trt processing time now 11 to 12 months.. it just been change on my immi account

Mine is updated to 11 to 12 months as well. Have you been contacted to provide docs? 

I was contacted to provide AFP after 11 months and now is further assessment. May will be the 12th months since my application.

i guess that’s maybe the last reason why timeline is updated. Not sure though

Hello All.. This is my first post here after stalking for a few months. My story below.

• HR, 3 people, and DE
• Filed both nomination and visa applications on 09/11/2017 as Developer Programmer through an MA
• Request for more documents/info (to my manager for nomination and to me for my wife's PCC for Visa application) on 21/02/2018
• Additional docs submitted on 20/03/2018
• It has been in "Further Assessment" since then

No idea how much longer it is going to take. My AFP crossed 6 months about a week ago, and overseas PCC is about to cross 6 months as well. My medicals are 1 year 6 months old but they didn't ask for those when they reviewed the application on 21/02! I fear they might do that when they have a look again, which will delay the whole thing again. 

Good luck to all the fellow anxious souls here. Cheers!!

I thought they may open the files again at the end of the 28 days if not earlier. So I think you may get some update tomorrow or within a few days. Good luck

Hi guys, does anyone know how much time buffer they’re giving to medicals expiring? Is it bang on 12 months and you have to do them again when your case is allocated? I know it’s up to CO discretion, etc but wondering if anyone knows more concrete. I’m about to cross the 12month mark of doing my medical as stupidly did it before I applied and wondering if I’m going to have it done again. Cheers

I feel medical has more buffer compared to AFP. I have done booth medical and AFP end of Dec 2016, applied nomination and visa in May 2017, nomination approved on March 28th 2018, the CO has requested a new AFP for the visa but not the medical certificate. 

I definitely suggest you apply a new AFP if it’s already expired

Hello Team

You guys remember how by error dha aske for my AFP and II re - attached  the required (afp) doc(which is current and active) and contacted VICpse few minutes ago, she confirmed receiving docs but she said since it hasnt covered 28days period, so I'd need to wait for final decision some where till 24th of April 2018 but by then my current afp would expire (mid of April) . I didnt remember that while talking to her and now i realised my afp expiry date is 20th April. Any advice?

186 trt Proj Manager

Visa nom app: 20 April 2017

Nom approved 22 march 2018, afp requested

docs submitted same day

Decision: waiting

I don’t think it matters if it just expired for a few days. I feel you will get it tomorrow or early April. The department is with good progress these days

Good morning boys and girls,

finally there is good progress for me. 

My nomination is approved this morning. A new AFP is requested for visa as the previous one expired.

Do you think it is a typo? I know im not waiting as long as some but still feeling very left behind. It seems Project Administrators are not a big priority  Good to have someone with same occupation and month to chat to!

Hopefully we can hear good news soon. My colleagues with same occupation all got PR around 6 months but they applied earlier. I think it was just a bad time when we applied but we will get there. Can’t wait for the celebration champagne. It’s enough waiting

This just shows how messed up they are. @Parkesy in your post yesterday you got an automated email saying they were processing June 2016 - March 2017 but I emailed them a month ago and got the response below stating April 2016 - October 2017. So they seem to have gone backwards or are full of BS. I know which one im betting on...

 I still believe Mar 2017 is a typo.....they don’t even realize now it’s Mar 2018 already.....it’s insane. BTW, I am same occupation as you, applied May 1st, no update yet.
