Gary Leigh

Thank you very much for the information provided by all of you. I just received the grant notification from NSW processing centre.

To conclude a little observation with some visa applicants, the nomination company turnover, the skill level of occupation, the English competence and the comprehensiveness of submitted docs really matter to the progress and the priority. Best wishes.

Hi mate
My girl in the same situation, but I read the document from immigration, it just said need overall 4.5, but doesn't mention about no less than 4.Anyone have answer?

Read this one. Being realistic, a low score of 4 doesn't look like functional here.

He asked visa refusal after nomination approval. So its not the same thing as visa refusal after failed nomination. The information is for people who have been waiting for visa after nomination approval .The purpose of this forum is to share important information and NOT to vent our frustrations.

Hi mate, do you know which processing centre issued the request for further information letter? Mine is from NSW PSE.

I know 1 case where visa was rejected after nominations. That family was from UK.
Actual reason is not told. But nominations were approved successfully.

Someone started this topic and I came to know one example on this Tapatalk only that's why I am telling it.

 

About me I am the only one who prays that everyone on this Tapatalk should get PR ASAP.

It's what we should know and learn. Well said.

Hi Gary,

The 6 month’s validity is for the applicant to apply. Below is a snap shot from the nomination approval I had received. 

That's the clause in the nomination approval notice. The one you quoted is on the cover letter.

Hi Guys,

Have been following this forum for a while and sometimes it helps to read some good news when the wait is so ridiculously long.

My case is a bit weird, i was wondering if anyone has a similar case or has heard of anything similar?

State: WA

Position: Jewellery designer

RCB approved: 6 Nov 2016

Nomination approved: 4 July 2017

Visa applied: 1 Mar 2017

Application opened: 4 July 2017 (note this is the same day taht my nomination was approved, so very peculiar)- my MA and I were pleasantly surprised by the application being opened so quickly.  They requested for some reference letters from my previous employers which we provided by 11th July 2017.

And that was it!! - I have been waiting for correspondence ever since.

My employer contacted Immi by phone in May 2018 and we were only told "it is being looked at" and the guy wouldn't say another word.

You can imagine my level of frustration.

Please share you thoughts and experiences.

Has any one in WA heard from immi recently?

Thank you guys.

 

The nomination approval letter says:

This nomination approval ceases on the earliest of the following:
● the day on which Immigration receives notification, in writing, of the withdrawal of the
nomination by the sponsoring entity;
● 6 months after the day on which the nomination is approved.

Did your MA say anything about the above clause?

Thanks for reply! I have already received the letter, just finding place to do fingerprint ^^

Go to NSW police online service to book the fingerprints service and go to the local police station (I recommend you going to the CBD ones). Please mention you're doing the service for HK CNCC.

Hong Kong. I just got the request letter from Immi.

Character and Police Certificate Requirements

As per the Department’s website (Character and Police certificate requirements), some countries such as Singapore, Japan, The Netherlands, Fiji, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, or Hong Kong, require a letter from the Department first in order to provide a penal check (‘penal check letter’). If you wish to ‘front end load’ the penal check process to reduce processing delays you may wish to obtain a penal check letter before you lodged your visa application or prior to receiving a request for further information from the Department.

For such requests you can email the bio-data page of your passport to nsw.pse@homeaffairs.gov.au and include the words “Penal Check Letter” in the subject line of your email.

Hi Gary, Did they open you visa file same day? When did you complete your medicals and when was your nomination and visa lodged. Timeline please.

I lodged both applications late Feb 2018. RCB was approved in Mar. I just completed the medical exams early November when I got the nomination approval.

VIC DE, Land surveyor.

22 minutes ago, ACT June 2017 said:

Has anyone had nomination approved without request for more documents even when medicals and pcc are expired (about 18 months). Its more than 4 weeks since my nomination approval and no news or request for docs.

Nomination approved on 26 Oct. Visa application was opened and only APF clearance was requested.

All documents were submitted on 26 November. No news yet.

Hi all,

Nomination granted today.

Nomination and visa application for 187 DE lodged on 23 Feb 2018. Occupation is the land surveyor and state is VIC.

Look this guy tried to play with the immigrants future now god knows what his future is 

JUSTICE ✌

AFP is investigating the officer who leaked the information but not Peter Dutton.

Do anyone know if the visa 187 holders can live in peri-urban postcodes and work with their regional employers? 

Nomination/application lodged in Feb 2018. RCB approved. 187 DE VIC. Status: received.

Estimated Processing Time updated: 22 months to 25 months

12 weeks seems like way too long.

Check what’s written on their website/application document. On ours (for our region in NSW) it said applications are processed within 4 weeks. They did request further paperwork but within this framework. We had response at 3.5 weeks.

My case is in Victoria which Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources is the RCB which does not state the processing time on their website. Other Victorian RCBs such as Geelong advises that Requests for Assessments are currently taking at least 8 weeks to reach processing.

My RCB application has been assessed over 12 weeks. They have asked for further information about my workplace. Do anyone know if it is a normal?

I lodged the RCB, nomination and visa applications at once in late-February 2018 (almost 3 months ago). RCB has requested for the photos of my workplace.

Still waiting for RCB approval.
