Dear all,

Is there any place or phone call I can make to complain about my case which is already under initial assessment for over 2 years?

18/4/2017 application 186 DE still waiting....

Thanks nikimino for the reply! Have your nomination been approved? All the best to you! 

I wish everyone in this waiting game will get a fair and happy ending! Because we are all hard working people making contribution to this country! Far out this is getting insane...I know we need to keep calm and have faith but sometimes it just couldn’t help getting a bit depressed. I need to book a getaway holiday soon to breathe some fresh air to my brain..

No news from the nomination until now. Good news will come one day if we work hard. I hope you will get a happy ending as well. I have already booked a getaway holiday to Tasmania this Christmas. Sometimes life is tough but we should have hope and go on.

Everyone should keep the faith! Fighting!

Hi thanks for share your story. When CO asked your partner’s English ability, how did you pay for the 2nd VAC? Did the CO give you a payment method? 

They just asked me to show the evidence of partner's English ability, but not giving a link to pay the payment.

We submit health and AFP, but no further assessment comes. MA said just wait them to provide the payment link. But no news.

Really been stressful during long waiting for the PR. 186 lodged June.2017 TRT restaurant manager. On April 2018 CO asked for medical checks and parner’s English ability. Within same month MA replied CO our health checks were all done and asked CO to advise payment method to pay for my parner’s 2nd VAC. Have been no reply since then. Does anyone know if we should wait for CO’s reply on how to pay the 2nd VAC or there is some way we can arrange to pay first before CO confirm we should go ahead to pay?

I have the same situation with you.  DE 186 lodged April 2017, on April 2018 CO ask for medical checks and partner's English ability. MA submitted all the documents required. No reply since then. MA said "just wait". Nomination still received.

Retaurant manager 187 Direct Entry onshore RSMS

Rcb Approved

Nomination applied:march 2017

Visa applied april 2017

Nomination Refused :31august 2018

After 18 months of working in samr position and waiting ...my nomination got refused.Can anyone please advise can I re-apply nomination and tribunal both together.

I dont know the reason as they should have emailed my agent but I have checked nomination refusal on immi account.Agent will open on monday

it depends on what kind of situation of your employer's business and the reasons why nomination got refused.  

I have a colleague who got his first 186 nomination refused because the employer's business is not running big enough to hire oversea workers, but immediately the MA changed the application subclass and asked for a 457 nomination for him. This time a different case officer handled it and he finally got the 457 visa approved. 

Wish you luck bro.

Dear Nikimino,

If you buy the business while your 186 visa application in progress, you will be regected. Remember it is an Employer nomination visa and you are only working there as an employee.

Thank you so much for the information!

guys I need your help.

What do you think if I buy my employer's business during my 186 DE visa application?

Can my partner or myself buy it? Is there any influence to my visa application? If 186 DE rejected during this time, can I continue to ask for a TRT?  

7 minutes ago, Kim12 said:

Yes Chef TRT 15 nov 2017 asked docs for my husband evidence of english and form 80 on 5 july 2018, 14 aug 2018 CO provide link to pay for english(SAVC) so i give my  card detail to my MA , he will pay today, u have any idea how long it will take after pay.

Hi I applied 186 and I got Medicare and my 186 nominations has been refused. And I’ve Bupa insurance should I’ve to keep it or I can stop. Bcz I’m paying them last 3.7 yr more 4 month left what you recommend?

if you got nomination refused, then your bridging visa is expired. You have to keep buying 457 insurance again.  Better to keep everything safe.

@Totto

my case has opened as well this April, but nomination still waiting. Don't know what they have done.

seems no updates from application in April 2017 DE......

what happened to the home affairs....

Just came to know that, we can apply for medicare card after we have applied for pr.

 

Has anyone applied ???

 

yes, you can if you are on-shore.

Go medicare website and apply it. You don't need to buy the 457 insurance any more. 

It is for your partner if he/she cannot meet the requirement of English competence. (kids under 18 --- no need)

If he/she comes from english-speaking countries or his/her english can meet the IELTS 4.5 score or equivalence , then give the evidence. So that you don't need to pay the language fee around $4000 to the Australian government.

If he/she cannot, then you should pay the language fee. It is the last step of assessment. When nomination approved, your documents all good, then CO will give you the link to pay  language fee. 

41 minutes ago, Kim12 said:

No nomination not approve yet, no link provide from CO still waiting for that link 

then you have to wait until the nomination gets approved. After that, CO will give you the link to pay language fee.

Hi, plz somone help me i applied in 15 nov 2017 TRT chef and on 5th july case officer asked more docs of my patner its, form 80 and english evidence, i m just going to pay SVAC for evidence of english, i m main applicant, CO didn’t ask any docs from my side, i m still waiting to pay SVAC, 28 days time is already over now. Is someone who have same situation plz help wht can do now , send them remind them or just wait. My employer is impatient now. He give me strees everyday. Plz help me

  

Have you got the nomination approved? If approved, then the visa will soon arrive. NO WORRIES. My MA had a client who got her visa granted after paid the language fee for three months.

BTW, Did the CO give you the link to pay the language fee or you just got CO's letter to tell you show the evidence? Because mine is a correspondence from CO and asking for proof of evidence from my partner, but not giving the link. My MA said we have to wait them to give the link to pay. Anyone knows about this?

I was asked docs twice after CO allocation to my file. Last submitted docs 9 months ago but still haven’t heard anything from them. I called all most every month to find out about my file. In the beginning around jan18 to april 18 they kept saying waiting for the first available co to open my file. (wonder what happened to CO who asked for docs) then next couple of months they said CO is assessing my file....ok ....waited .... again in june they said they have worked on your file last month, last week too looks like waiting for some information .... it made me more excited and waiting game started again..... then july I called a lady answered saying there is no point you calling us again and again we will not tell you any work done on your visa. Only your MA or employer can talk to us to find out about this application..... now MA says they won’t tell us too exactly what they are or have been doing with this application so no use contacting them......and again waiting waiting and waiting
Now by telling you all this I don’t want to hurt you or guide you about processing time.... i just want to tell you that don’t believe in any rubbish they tell you over the phone as I think they themselves doesn’t know whats being done on file they just say random stuff to keep us waiting....don’t be so hopeful or super excited about anything just by a phone conversation because its breaks when the waiting game time keep increasing. It might come tonight or it may take 5 months ....just don’t think about it. I am telling you cause I am going through it and think i have gone into deep depression that even if i want i am finding it hard to come out of it or stop thinking about it. It’s affecting whole family .... just try not to be super excited by any phone conversation as if it didn’t come any soon then you will end up worrying and thinking more about it. I got attracted to this stupid game and now suffering internally.
All the best

My MA indeed told me before that actually only the MA or employer can contact them about the status because employer was asking for a nomination, not us, and MA is helping the employer to go through all the process and document submitting, not us.

If the nomination gets approved. it is MA's task to ask about our visa's processing status. If using a MA, then immi depart CO would contact your MA directly, not us.  

Actually my MA has contacted the CO recently but MA said better not hoping them would give any answer because if it is not our turn to get assessed, then there would be no answer. 

Calling them is a waste of time, no use. They just set up a place for us to tell the frustration, but not taking any action. And we never get any true answer.

If we have done all things, we have to wait. Don't lose hope.

Has anyone tried calling this number for an escalation / complaint or for simply trying to get an update on the progress? (obviously, only for applications that are passed the initial waiting period) 

I think if the application passed the initial waiting period, then they would take action immediately. Otherwise, they will just leave you there and do nothing.

Right before I lodge my 186 visa application (without only origin country police check), there was a pop up message like this. Is it normal?

mine has got this below. I have told my MA and she said all required documents have been already submitted at the time when they received the co's correspondence three months ago. But I don't know why this message is still on the front page of my imm. account? Is anyone in the same situation as well?
