Lucky you have a defacto as a back up!

Yes it is (but how good does it feel to make it on your own though!) at least I tried.

I would be afraid too... but there is not much you can do other then wait?? 

What's your other option?

Bella

Looks pretty dark huh?! I’ve got an Australian partner so De facto will be my back up plan.

Just want to see how long I can stick it out before jumping on the next one.. been waiting for 14 months already so I might as well give a couple of more.

any news on yours @Bellabonkers??

I applied in March 2017, my colleague in June. I’m DE and he’s TRT.

We are now the only ones working, we don’t have any apprentice or any Australian staff.

New owners and the business is at a big loss atm. They can’t even afford paying our holidays.. and they’ve fired everyone to save money. But losing instead.

I’m afraid our visas will be refused.. what do you guys think?

See email I got from them. That would probably mean you would start from Visa application again, although nomination was done long ago and approved already.. I'm just referring to applicants who did visa way later than Nomination date 

What email address did you receive this from?

Does anyone know which form to sign if you need to change who’s got access to nomination?

Hi,guys,I applied ENS TRT chef on 7/April/2017. Right now I felt so helpless and hopeless. I used to be a silent reader with hope in this forum,and am happy to see few mates got their visas granted from same timelines. However I was told by my boss yesterday that he gonna sign the contract for selling the restaurant tomorrow. I was shocked and gutted with what he told me. And he said restaurant name,menus,and all the positions will remain as before, only ABN gonna be changed. Furthermore,new employer will accept all the staff. But my point is i have been waiting for this xxxx visa for more than one year , and now i’m likely to lose both money and time. And My MA told my boss for those who already applied ENS gonna reapply again. I tried to search such cases online,but couldn’t find anything. In order to seek most official answer, I went to parramatta and central DHA today, and they just simply told you to contact the staff who works on visa section by calling or e-mailing. As a result, what you got from calling is endless waiting, and what you got from e-mailing is always an auto reply email. I’m totally speechless.

i’ll be much appreciated if someone has some knowledge related to this situation to share with me, and give a guide. Thanks

This happened to me an my colleague in November last year.

My salon manager sold the business while we were both waiting for our visas.

If they change ABN number, yes your visa will be cancelled. I don’t know how close you are to your boss, but in our case our manager stayed in the company to keep the visas. I’m still getting paid from her and her ABN number, but I’ve got a new manager. She will leave as soon as our visas gets approved. 

Maybe have a chat to him and see if this could be an option?

Just I want to know any hairdresser waiting iam waiting for 18 months DE

I am a hairdresser DE as well. I applied March 2017. 

Have spoken to immi and they’ve taken a decision on the nomination, but they’re not allowed to tell me what it is. It all looks good and a case officer are looking into my file. They’re pretty helpful when you call (as long as you’re very nice?)

Said I should have a decision very soon.

Havd you called them at all?

Just now, zanfo said:

Did u just call the general number? Also occupation?

I called 131 881.

Hairdresser on 457 with the same company still, but applied 186 DE to get it done quicker (which wasn’t the case?)

I’m getting close to 13months DE. Called today to check for update and they said my file has been looked at and it all looks good. He checked my nomination as well, which I have no control over and said apparently they’ve made a decision, but he wasn’t allowed to tell me more.. I spoke to my employer who did the nomination and he said he hasn’t received anything from immi. I think he lost the log in to immi account and only relying on email..is it possible the nomination has been approved and it’s only showing on his immi account?

And they wouldn’t be looking at my file if the nomination has been refused right? In that case they should’ve contacted him for more documents?

Fingers crossed its good news

Big congrats!!!

Do you know if the vic team are processing the same months as Nsw? Did you receive an automatic email? (If you ever emailed them to check that is..)

I just called the phone number on the automatic email (pese Nsw) and spoke to a really nice lady. My file, March 2017 hasn’t been allocated, but she said (referring to the email) they’re processing up to March 2017 now and they apparently update this weekly. If it would change and process up to April 2017 next week, she said to call again and they’ll look into it..

Me neither
Have you waited more than the previous mentioned processing time?

I’ve waited for 12months.. what about you? Immi

1 hour ago, Ozdream1 said:

I agree with you but I think this is too soon to see the impacts...
All 457 people can still apply so I guess there'll be a lot of applications in the coming months but the processing time should reduce afterwards

Immi updated now.. same processing time

what’s happening??

I can’t see processing time either

Just now, Bellabonkers said:

Yes same here... as I said before we are in for a long wait! 12 months is nothing in this game! Are you on or off shore? That makes a difference! 

I’m on shore -does that mean it might be approved faster?
