I emailed immigration on 1st of May about processing time has surpassed ( I was waiting as a cook for 27 months) and if I could get any attention on my file. Not sure if that was a coincidence or they actually looked at my file and refused my nomination the very same day. After waiting for 27 months and I was working full time there for nearly 2.5 years. Giving a ridiculous reason that business can’t afford to pay me for next 2 years.Well I had uploaded all those supporting documents such as payslips, group certificates etc. Maybe it was my bad luck but yeah they have put me 3 years back in my life again. Now I have to wait for another 6-7 months to finish my 3 years exp. to be eligible for new visa options. I suggest you guys to wait for your file to open and let your MARA agent lodge any complaint to immi. However, everyone’s case is different at the same time. Hope you all get your visas soon. Good luck

If anyone there has done skill assessment as a cook with positive outcomes plz help me with some necessary information with your personal experience over the phone. I’ll much appreciate your help thanks

Your those friends are right live anywhere but work in regional

You can check on your visa status but unfortunately not the nomination. Your MA(if you have one) will inform you about your nomination

If you have enough experience and a positive skill assessment to apply a new visa then yes you can go for a new one coz AAT processing time is also at its peak (18-24 months). If you are not eligible to apply for a new one then AAT is the only option. If I was you for sure I would have reviewed the decision to be honest. Well we all know money is important but not priority at the moment. Good luck

How about other employees I mean were you the only person sponsored there? Anyone else got approval?

That’s a sad news! Could you plz share the turnover to help others. Thanks & hope you find a way out of this situation

Feb 17 cook nsw still waiting one person who lives around I know got his visa after 33 months but in his case the nomination was approved after 18 months. Is your nomination approved yet?

99.99% chances. After nomination it’s pretty much your documents they will look at. Afp, medical etc. it’s on the way. Good luck

Good luck to you! You will get the positive results

Nah nothing yet apart from rcb approval. How about yours?

Hey Jaylia, I did that today. It is safe to call them but pointless as my MA said. They just said you have to wait

You will definitely find it if you google High risk/low risk countries

I didn’t miss understand you. I just answered in a different way. So, some people get both at the same time depends if they lodged at same time. Some people get nomination quickly and wait a bit longer for their visa which you said you read somewhere. Not sure if I’m right but that time frame 21-22 months applies to both nomination and visa application. I’m still waiting for my nomination to be approved since feb 2017. Hope that helps

If you expect everyone’s case to be similar than you are expecting wrong. Some people got their visas from 2018. On the other hand a few from 2016 and many waiting from 2017.Nomination is 99% I would say

To be honest I don’t understand how immi works Is it the priority of the occupation that makes them to approve some of the files quickly or the business turnover? Many employers are getting calls from immigration if people are actually working with them when there is no such requirement to work until and unless the visa is granted but let’s just accept that from immi to check if the case is genuine. I have been working full time for more than 2 years already and I was hoping for that phone call but nothing yet. Dunno what’s coming. I’m hoping for good

Mine shows 21-22 but does that even matter coz we all know how immi works these days. We’ve seen quite a few approvals from 2018

I might be wrong but have seen some similar cases. So, if you applied for visa last month after your nomination approved then it might take some time not sure how much but you can expect at least 3-6 months. Good luck

I think your MA is right here that you can’t show them you are working as a chef when you lodged as a cook! These are the small reasons immi is pointing out these days. You gotta show them what you are supposed to be doing not what you actually doing. I have a sort of same situation . Hope this helps
