    @John007 Unfortunately, no one would be able to advise on a time frame here. It's a case of "how long is a piece of string". - Personally - I've seen "Further Assessment" applications get responses within a couple of days and others (most) after many months.

    @dejuvu I'm assuming you mean your 457 visa was granted on the 30/05/2017. - If so, then unless you have taken more than 3 months unpaid leave during the 2 years, you'd be allowed to lodge your TRT visa on the 30/05/2019. It's worth noting that, there is no waiting period for a DE visa (however, you will require a skills assessment). So yes, you can lodge your visa for PR very soon, if you wish

    @Skm | @Taka There are many cases that have taken longer. Most cases, i'd like to think are dealt with, within a reasonable time period, however, there are many that go way past this and turn into many months - especially common with cases that are put into "Further Assessment" status. Unfortunately, you'll just need to hold on tight and "try" enjoy the ride - they will get back to you, eventually!

    @amandat Yes, they work on Saturdays - nothing confirmed on Sunday, however, i doubt it. - Many cases have been updated on a Sunday, however, from my understanding - that's simple system driven.

    @karsheka If the visa has already been granted, then no. The only time they can act on this, is if the visa process is still in process (at any stage - up till grant). - After which the only way they can affect your grant is if you leave the company after receiving the grant (within 2 years), they can then complain to Immigration and tell them that you had no intention on staying with them after grant and you "used" them for PR. In this case, things could get messy.

    @Sheb Applying offshore (with you, the main applicant onshore) is fine. I've seen many cases like this in the past. There should be no issues with this. - You can confirm with your MA but from my experience, this is OK.

    @TooGoodToBeTrue If so and you know of any literature / links of same, please share - this stuff is usually really useful.

    @GBD Based off of the useful list that @lulumanda provided, yes - it seems that "Retail Buyer" is a high risk. - https://www.immigrationsolutionslawyers.com.au/overcoming-caveats-occupations-457-visa-186-visa-direct-entry-stream/

    @lulumanda I posted something on this a while back, which had a list of *some high risk positions. - I'll see if I can find it and re-share it for you. Update: See below, the post in question: In short: An interesting article I found, dated February 2019 - on the 6 top reasons why visa nominations get refused. - Including a list of "High-risk occupations": These include: Accountant Beauty Salon Manager Nursery Person Retail Manager Program or Project Administrator Restaurant Manager https://www.workvisalawyers.com.au/news/all/6-reasons-an-australian-pr-visa-nomination-is-refused-in-2019-186-ens-187-rsms.html

    @Suusz That really sucks and does sound like a lame excuse to me, what did they expect that the role would be immediately replaced - maybe in an ideal world. Sorry to hear that. Have you spoken with your MA, do you have options here? Could you lodge another, using the same nomination or possibly motivate this existing one with the AAT?

    @Kashif.Iqbal sorry mate, you burnt your bridges with me. - Best wishes.

    @leezo77 Not sure how much this will help, however, in my experience (we also needed a passport from S.A) we needed to actually provide a certified copy of the passport (and birth certificate in this case). As i'm sure you've already experienced, dealing with S.A is awful at the best of times, however, we were able to (after literally hundreds of phone calls) get a hold of someone in home affairs and "beg" them to scan a certified copy of the documents to us - that way we could continue with the application, without actually having the physical documents (which were in the post). I have heard before that "evidence" of application is enough (on one case), however, i'm not sure if that's true for all, best to check with your MA. Good luck!

    @Nandarao I don't mean to be a party pooper here, but I honestly think you might not be aware of it (I've seen a few messages like this lately). - As a helpful tip, there is a "congratulations" reaction / emoticon on all posts: Hopefully that helps

    @Sere You are only 3 months in. Don't let other people processing times affect you and yours. You are WELL within the given timeline. Be patient, sit tight - your time will come.

    @KellyG No, not necessarily. I would always ask your MA / company if your nomination has been approved - regardless of your visa - Unless your visa is granted (in which case the nomination HAS to have been approved).

    @Siya I hate to say it, but if the company that initially sponsored you has closed down, there is no way that you could possibly get a positive nomination (the company cannot sponsor you, as it doesn't exist). Good luck.

    How would the Liberal government new visa changes affect Visa's: - https://www.taylormadeimmigration.com/?q=2019-20 Migration Plan A nice comparison of changes from 2017/2019 to 2019/2020+ (quality is not the best, but don't shoot the messenger).

    @TBO How would you do this? Simply stating that your salary is now 75k and not 65k? - Remember that all these figures are checked up on, so any false declaration would be found by your CO and would affect your case.

    @Chelsea98 I think you have a few questions here, so i'll try answer where I can; 1 - "...been asked to fill up a form 80 but I don’t have enough details about past employer and some of them already closed down as well and even with my education history..." Once this is requested from a CO, it's typically important to the case and all effort would need to be shown in case of "company being closed" or "school closed". My thoughts are that you would need to do your best effort in completing this form with regard to these questions, then I (personally) would get police affidavits on closure of school / work places. 2 - "How important is that..." - If a form 80 is passed into an application without being requested, it may and may not be used in the application process. However, if (like in your case) - the form has been requested from your CO, then it's vital in the process (per my understanding). There have been applications refused on character checks and / or history details not being in order. - I personally was asked to update my form as I only had 9 years living addresses and not 10 (all that for 1 year). 3 - "...I also need to do ta statutory declaration as I had criminal offence which is drunk driving..." - Unfortunately, I cannot comment or offer advise on this, however, there are numerous posts (you'd need to trawl through previous pages) from people that have had similar questions. You could either take their advise, or post to them on this form for assistance. Regardless, I wouldn't risk bad data on a form 80, especially being asked for it. - Rather be safe and provide too much information, than sorry. Good luck!

    @Anajmi That's a pretty broad question; - It would all depend on the role (what engineer) and the "market salary of same" is. When these get reviewed - the market salary is taken into account and typically, it would need to be; a) Close to or above that and b) Affordable to the company doing the sponsorship. I've seen a few people get their visa's turned down because of this, so it might be worthwhile checking the market value of this (Google is your friend), or consulting your MA (if possible). Personally, this sounds very low and below industry values - which, would cause an issue for your visa application.

    @amandat This has been answered so many times on this forum, I think you would only need to go back a few pages to see similar questions / answers. In short, the average we've seen on this forum is 30-40 working days, however, there have been cases whereby the CO got back to the client within 1 day, then others where they are still waiting (much longer than 40 days). Hope for the best and expect the worst, that way you won't be disappointed.

    @Sere I can understand the frustration, just imagine all those people waiting for 2+ years already. Hold on, it'll come!
  23. Hex
    @Sere Don't let then other applications that are getting approved confuse or worry you. - You are still well within the waiting period and would need to sit tight and wait. Holding thumbs that it comes through soon for you guys.

    @Rik9 3 days from lodgement to nomination approval. By far the quickest I've even seen. You must have got something right!

    @Wtara The only way your visa can be affected here (assuming you already have uploaded all required documents), is in a good way. - Meaning, if your visa is granted before you give birth, your child (and you eventually) can apply for citizenship. Typically, the toughest part of pregnancies and visas's (I experienced this same issue) is the medical. However, if you have already done one and it's still valid, you should have nothing to worry about.
