Thanks For sure, I've got an appointment today at 2pm but was very distressed yesterday waiting and thought there would be no harm in asking.

Hi Paul, thanks for your reply. I'm already on a bridging visa would that change anything? Also would there be a possibility to withdraw and request a refund? (Sorry clutching at straws to avoid breaking the bank)

Hello my visa application was lodged 5 months after the nomination but the nomination was put in before the anniversary of my 2 years employment which I believe is the issue ?

Hello, I'm very new to this site so hope I'm doing this correctly. I was hoping to get some advice from anyone who is in the know / has had a similar experience. I have been employed with my employer for 2 years and 5 months. My employer completed a nomination for me for 186 visa In May last year. I submitted my application in October last year. It has only recently come to my attention that the department are disputing the validity of my visa and it sounds like it won't be granted because the nomination was put it too early. ( My concern being my money for visa may be lost despite them not even looking at my part of the application yet ) We have received nothing formal yet - but communication / response is proving very difficult. Im just wondering how likely it is that the nomination and subsequent application would be approved given it was submitted early ? Even though that time frame has long been surpassed? And I made contact before I submitted my application and feel like I have been given misleading information? Also, if it was to be refused - what would my options be? Or is there anything I can do now before it gets to that point ? I have been trying to access some advice from certified migration agents and waiting on call backs/ appointments but my anxiety regarding this is getting the better of me so thought I would post here to see if there is any other advice. Hope to hear from someone soon. Thanking you in advance.
