Awesome news.. now...... process our visas!!!

You'll be processed quickly due to your occupation! Good luck.

Hey mate... see below (https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visi/visi/bridging-visas) Bridging visa C (BVC) A Bridging visa C (BVC) is a temporary visa. It allows you to stay in Australia while your application for a substantive visa is being processed. A BVC can be granted if you lodge an application in Australia for a substantive visa but you do not already hold a substantive visa. A BVC does not allow you to return to Australia if you leave. See: Bridging visa C - BVC - (subclass 030)

I'm not so sure... They are approving the business as a sponsored employer but then they will access your position within the business.... But hey... who knows what is going on!!!!

I see some late 2017 being processed....

Congratulations!

Yeah but surely to god not in this case?!! That is so damn wrong if it does.

But that doesn't mean his visa will get approved straight up? Just nomination?

Agreed!

It is frustrating for people waiting such long periods of time to come on here and see people being granted from 2018.

Happy to pay greater fees, if they would get their finger out their asses and start keeping processing time promises!!!!

Government occupation and previously state sponsored.... hence the quick approval.

The occupation will no doubt be medical or a highly sought after in Australia.

The best thing you can do is get a consultation from a registered migration agent. All of the questions you have asked are dependant on which visa you wish to apply for.

I wouldn't think so but always best to take professional advice.

Is everyone application sitting as Received?

No 187 DE. Maybe I'm wrong.... looks that way! Sorry you really need to speak to a professional.

https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-text/online-account/Documents/status_immiaccount.pdf Sounds like it hasn't been received by Immigration yet - sorry! See link above...

Yeah mines definitely says 'Received'. Did the use a migration agent?

Lemme check mine again..... I've been waiting 12 months + for a visa that was meant to take 15-17 months, the processing times are now 23-25 months. There is nothing you can do but wait.

The application will change from Received to Processing.

Ask an MA.
