Is this for the 187 DE visa?

Yes, 187 DE. 

Don't take our words for it though. Ask your MA about these stuff. You may think you are asking too much but at the end of the day they are the only people who can answer our complicated questions and the only words we should trust. I used to be paranoid but then my MA has advise to never be reluctant to ask him anything for that is why they are here for to help us out and to give us confidence.

Haha aren't we all though?! In saying that after 15 months of waiting I'm sure we have the right to be feeling a little impatient! It's difficult isn't it, especially when people say "think of the bigger picture" yes I understand that but the bigger picture is full of debt, set backs and increased waiting times from our point of view haha!

Do you have an MA? Speak to them about your concerns. After feeling like I was a nuisance to mine, he really pulled through yesterday and emailed back saying that asking questions is what they are there for and not too take too much advice from forums as each case is different. It's great hearing other people's perspective but unfortunately visas aren't black and white so it can get very overwhelming and confusing with all the different info and opinions. This was part of my update from my MA: 

Once your visa is granted you are required to stay in the State for 2 years, not with your employer.  if you leave your employer to take up better opportunities but stay in WA you wont lose your visa.

Im going to trust his word as he is the registered MA out of the two of us, and he handled my application so knows it better than I do!

I hope things at work get better and your prospective family plans fall in to place

Agreed. I was also once under the impression that I needed to stay with the same employer once my visa gets approved. I spoke to my MA the other day and he had said that I do not need to be with the same employer for the next 2 years. I just need to be in WA regional area and everything will be fine.

Hi,

Does immigration visit every company that does Visa Sponsorship ie 187 DE visa? 

When do they most usually visit and do they only do it with certain occupation?

Hi,

Nice to meet you all. I m just joining you all in this "great" adventure that is this Visa thing

I was refused a student visa in September 2017, I applied for ATT review (which is still pending... It usually takes more than a year last time I checked) .

As I am on a bridging A waiting for a decision on my Student Visa, I have to apply for BVB and apply for 187 offshore.

While waiting for the 187 to be processed, will I need to leave the country again once my student visa has expired/been refused?

Cheers,

Kyle

If you are on shore they should have granted you a bridging visa to allow you to stay in Australia. And depending on the bridging visa they approve you with you may or may not be able to work. If they do have a bridging visa granted for you, you are unable to travel internationally, once you go out of Australia you would need another visa to get back in. But Ask your MA they should know better.

HI EVERYONE

MY FILE SHOWS LAST UPDATE 20TH APRIL I CALLED MY AGENT HE SAID THEY UPDATED MY NEW AUSTRALIAN CHECK IN FILE . ANY IDEA 

MY LODGEMENT DATE WITH COMPLETE DOCUMENTS INCLUDING RCB IS 10TH MARCH 2017 

SALES AND MARKETING MANAGER

Even if your Agent had updated some stuff on your application, the LAST UPDATE on my immi won't change unless a case officer updates it themselves as what I understand. It's the same as mine; My MA have updated my passport and address but nothing changed on my LAST UPDATE. So, I believe it is when a case officer actually touches your application before that changes.

I applied nomination & visa on 30 & 31 October 2017. At that time, the processing time was 15 - 17 months. This time is changing every month. Lastly, it was change on 15 May 2018 for the applications moved in April 2018 as 21-23 months. In this situation, the Department of Home Affairs will consider time as 15 - 17 months of 21 - 23 months?

 

I have asked my Agent in regards this and all he said that the time frame really does constantly goes up and down. It depends on how fast you are providing all the documents immi had asked for. It all goes down to the case officers and that once an application has been lodged any case officer can pick it up anytime. There are people here who have been waiting for 2 years and there have been people who was approved fast. We can't really do anything but wait. 

Currently on a 457 visa but applied for 187 DE visa. Manager.

Feb 2018 RCB applied

Feb 2018 RCB Approved

Feb 2018 Nomination and Visa has been lodged.

Waiting for a couple months before doing my medical.

This will be a long wait but it will be worth it! 

To those waiting, don't lose hope.  Until the decision has not been given, you still have a big chance! Don't be negative with anything! 

Good luck to everyone!
