  1. You mind giving background information on your application, nomination, reason for refusal and reason for losing at AAT (and how the hearing went)? The more information the better feedback those who read can provide. Good luck.
  2. You 100% don’t need to retake the exam and if your agent doesn’t know this that’s very worrying. It only needs to be valid at time of applying.
  3. The test results must be valid only at time of applying, not when the application is opened for processing. Your Agent should clarify to the CO that you were able to meet the English eligibility criteria at the time you applied for the visa. Click here to read more. Test validity: Test cannot have been undertaken more than 3 years before the date of application.
  4. I believe he refers to the Federal court, that's where you can take your case if you are not satisfied with the outcome AAT has provided you with. I've heard the waiting times are shorter there.
  5. We are all in the same sh*t but some are stuck for longer, some for shorter. It must be hard to be waiting overseas but don’t think it’s much easier to be here, as it is not guaranteed anyway. You think twice before you buy anything, start anything, plan anything. Can’t act on plans regarding work, moving, buying property etc. Any change at all. It’s like your life is put on hold only it isn’t, years fly faster than ever. We can only hope the cancellation of 187 will make things faster. Why leave non-existing visa subclass cases drag on forever..
  6. The nomination appeal has nothing to do you right now as you're overseas. IF the business manages to win the case, and get the nomination approved, then you will be able to re-apply for your visa only (in relation to that approved nomination). Don't see a reason why you would withdraw the nomination appeal if the business has a strong case and chance at winning. The business's Agent should be working on building a strong case to present on paper but also for the court date, if it comes to that.
  7. That’s very quick but unfortunate. What was the reason?
  8. In that case you should be fine. Request the extension until the visa is decided now that’s already open, don’t see why they wouldn’t grant it. They grant Bridging visas while people wait on decision and this is the same. It would be very stupid if you were made to leave now with the application open and processing. Also reach out to the CO and inform them of your circumstances, if they are unaware.
  9. Considering your circumstances you can use this when making a comment. You can request your application to be opened now, while you are still here, and get a decision. You are over the processing time anyway I believe.
  10. You can apply for employer nominated visa as many times as you wish- given you have a sponsor. Thing is, if you don’t hold a substantive visa you will have to apply from offshore. For example, if you manage to find a new sponsor while still onshore, the business can apply for the nomination part anytime (while you are still here or after you leave). The visa application, however, you will have to lodge after you leave the country (while offshore), and stay there until it’s granted. I do agree yours is a very specific case and an Agent/Lawyer might Know your options (and rights) better. So get one fast.
  11. That is amazing. Do you know which state/territory by any chance?
  12. I asked the same last week but haven't seen any replies. Very curious to know. Are you considering this?
  13. They didn’t say someone else was the manager?
  14. Why? Based on the Org chart? If so, who else was listed on it?
  15. What if they don't invite you for a hearing straight away but request documents first? Will it be in that letter? Thanks
  16. Does anyone here have an experience with applying to the High Court (Federal), or knows someone who has been through it? Interested in the processing times and outcomes.
  17. At what stage you can find out the name of the Member that will be dealing with your case?
  18. On what date exactly did they email him this?
  19. 1 year, 9 months, 29 days including today. Too long but not surprised, I've seen many being opened at 2 years. Have you sent your submission or you will wait on them to request documents?
  20. That's just the average meaning individual cases will still fall below and go over that number of days. Regardless, if calling them helped everyone would be on the phones, not on this forum.
  21. The current (based on the last 6 months) processing time is 19.3 months. As of now you're sitting on 17.4 months. Calling won't help at all, or speed up the process. Based on the numbers your application should be open in the next 3 months.
  22. Similar here, we applied 6/6 and already feels like forever. Wondering if the termination of 187 in November will make them speed things up, otherwise they will have to remember way too many rules for processing and they can hardly keep up with the existing ones. The amount of mistakes they make is mind-blowing.
