  1. Question: How does AAT work? You wait for an appeal hearing for 2-3 years to submit you application again? Or they overturn (or not) on the spot? Anyone familiar with this process?
  2. Yes! I feel like they get a note on our visa application with “ refuse this visa, no matter how”. We actually submitted a letter as well with our application why my boss did not have time to manage the business because he bought some other businesses and did not have the time anymore. This was information we provided to support the genuine need and this was not on the checklist. it is very easy to refuse nominations if they say there is missing information that is not on any list! In that case they should at least ask for it.
  3. I do have options. One of them is to apply through TRT and the other one is to appeal the decision. However with the waiting time I experienced now I feel uncomfortable with such long waits (appeal can take about 2 years again). In business this is tricky and who knows maybe the restaurant gets sold one day?? The other thing is, why should I pay so much money again if they refuse based on really unfair reasons. I can easily win the appeal, but then they wont let me speak for 2 years. And when I win this argument what is next? They have the right to refuse based on their perception, not facts! So it feels so insecure to move forward again.
  4. Hi all, after 22 months I got some bad news. Refused nomination. the reason does not make sense at all and its totally unexpected. They refused because the previous sponsored restaurant manager left quickly after getting his PR and after that I was not sponsored until about 8 months later. Because of this gap they say there is no need for a restaurant manager. This is a big mistake because in those 8 months someone internally took over the role, however, unsuccessfuly and so they advertised later on the role and took me in. Unfortunately they did not ask to explain this situation and refused straight away (well after 22 months ). And we never expected that this was a problem anyway? Isnt it the point to actually first try to give the role to residents/australians? I am a genuine applicant and this is such a stupid reason. When i saw refusals on here I always thought there must be something dodgy about their application and it would never happen to me. Advice: How genuine your application is, dont take for granted that you get your PR. Especially in DE. I believe if they want to refuse it, they will find a way. Even tho this reason is stupid, the current system doesnt allow you to comment until 2/3 years later. Its unfair, but within the law so nothing I can do about it.
  5. Complaining hasnt worked for me yet! Being positive neither. Anyway congrats
  6. Complaining yesterday about a 3 month wait and now everyone needs to be positive
  7. Yes, but it costs a lot of money. It does look like they dont process DE applicants from removed occupations anymore.
  8. Reaching the 21 months this week. I was wondering,, is there anyone waiting for 2 years or more without any contact whatsoever? I would like to think there is some sort of time limit where we have to hear at least something. As far as I have seen the longest wait is about 2 years. ?
  9. I have waited since AUG 2017, my medicals did expire almost 1 year ago but my MA said it is up to the case officer to request a new one or not. Without a new request I dont think you can even do a new one? We go on holidays in a month as well and if they request it while we are away we just have to do it from Europe. I am praying we get news before because this holiday was meant to be our celebration trip I did not receive this email either, but I dont think anyone that has waited over a year received this email. However even people without this email got granted over the last few weeks so its not hopeless!
  10. What is going on ! Waiting 2 years versus 3 days!???? Im devastated. Anyone knows if there are any plans of immigration to get on top of the backlog? Or do we keep rotting in a corner?
  11. Yes that makes sense as well. Our English should only improve the longer we stay here
  12. @sydneyishukAnd also @Hex are you sure its valid from when CO open the file? My agent told me its from the moment you submit your application. I did my IELTS 4 years ago and when I asked my MA to redo it she told me its unnecessary as it was valid when I applied...
  13. That depends if you received the email I am happy some applications have been processed that did not get the email. That gives every one of us here some hope
  14. I dont want to be rude but you ask this question every day, if you just read back the pages you can see exactly who got a grand
  15. Hi all, I have a question. I am going to Europe in 6 weeks for a 6 weeks trip. I was wondering if they request any medical update while being overseas, would it be possible to do this overseas? BUPA is an international company right? I cancelled my holidays last year because of the extended waiting time, but don’t want to do this again. However it makes me feel uncomfortable that they could request for additional information while I am gone.
  16. Maybe they are extra fast? I honestly did not even know about this forum until I past like 8 months wait or so and I was looking for answers. There will be heaps of people getting approvals without posting it on here I assume they will try to approve as many as possible within the next month. The same happened last federal election.
  17. Sorry i dont have the answer to your question, but I do have a question for you. Did you receive this famous email everyone is talking about this week? Oh I just see that you only applied 3 weeks ago is that correct?
  18. Only people that have applied in the last like 8 months or so received this email. I wouldnt be surprised if they will only process files now that are submitted more recently so that way it looks like they are getting on top of the processing times. After the elections they might go back onto old files again, if there is still space left for their quotas. Lets see in the next few days/weeks if all grants are the newer applicants vs. older ones. I hope I am wrong! But I think we are in the middle of a little political trick so I don’t expect anything until the election is over.
  19. Not change, but you can lodge a second application. I have thought about it too
  20. Yeh when we opened it we did not really find it needed as well, but now it helps for groceries etc. but every couple organises their finances differently and I am sure that they will understand that. Its probably just some general guidelines on what you can provide. Im sure there are other ways to prove your relationship, wouldn’t worry about it.
  21. Our defacto visa was approved but we did also have a joint bank account and lease. So not sure if without that it was sufficient enough.
  22. A lot of people that waited a bit longer have not received the email. I hope it is just a timeframe that they chose to send the email to, because a lot of applicants dont attach their police check and medical right away and maybe the department wants to hurry up the process and make sure its all done. My coworker received the email and she literally submitted her visa this week. Because its an automatic email people that already submitted police check and health assessment will receive it too. It would be interesting to see if we get any grands on here from people soon that have not received the email. Hopes up
  23. For my partner visa we send a whole document of photos together plus dates and occasions next to it. Like a picture of us together every 2/3 months. Also letters of friends/family acknowledging the relationship and for example flight tickets if you have been on holidays together?
