Immi will not do this mistake . What’s your occupation and when did you apply the case 

Chef, nomination and visa applied together in Oct 2018

Yes you need to take both refusal to new MA and see whether you had option of appeal or not . In this case you must overstaying your VISA as well. Most Important you need a letter of refusal which will help the new MA to make appeal. 

Can I just call the department and ask about my case? I learnt from the forum that only MA can contact the case officer.

and it’s over 3 months now, I don’t think my case is valid for AAT?

You should be actually able to see the reason why it was refused, I think I had a message in "Messages". Depends on reason but without any info I would guess they refused nomination and subsequently your application.

The nomination was refused because the department asked for additional documents yet not received any. The visa application was then refused.

MA said he did send additional documents as required but the case officer didn’t check it out. The department admitted this was a mistake made by the case officer and they started reviewing the nomination.

But these all happened in early July and the status showed on my immi account is refusals now

Hey guys I have a really urgent problem and appreciate any comments!

I just found from my immi account that the status of my application has been finalized. Both nomination and visa application are declined, in June and July respectively. So I contacted my MA, he said it was a mistake made by the department. The department has committed the mistake and started reviewing my case again. 

However, I doubt there’s no update on Immi account; it’s still showing my application has been declined two months ago. I’ve requested the MA to show me the letter from department but no response so far.

Here comes my questions - I know this is a very rare situation, but is it possible? And do I have any ways to contact the department other than through the MA? 

I am really worried about the situation. I am also so disappointed at the MA since he has not updated me anything but the nomination was declined almost 4 months ago. 

Any ideas or comments will help! Thanks heaps!

You ask MA to send you Acknowledgement letter which contains information for you in order to view your application progress online.

In your case now Medicare should be active one year from the date of 186 lodgement. If it becomes in active then Medicare should have clearly stated in the letter they sent you the reason why.

Hey Tania, thanks a lot for your comment.

just confirmed by my MA that the application has been refused. Now I believe the applications that lodged in late 2017 for hospitality should have been assessed.

i was totally replying on my MA - not even clearly aware of the dates. But I would still like to share my timeline, hope this helps anyone here:

186 TRT Restaurant Manager LR

Application lodged: 9 Nov 2017

Nomination refused: early Aug 2018

the refusal is due to missing signatures on some of the financial reports of the company. However, the MA claims that these documents are submitted online and thus does NOT require signature. Anyway, the CO still refused my application eventually.

this forum helps me a lot while I was waiting for the result. I hope you guys can soon get your visa granted. Best wishes to all! 

Thanks Tania and Deep!

I dont even know my immi account details. I rely totally on my MA so just emailed them about the issue.

I am now still holding 457 visa which expires August 2019. So it should not be related to my current visa?

Hi mates,

Have been visiting the forum recently. Just got a question today and any comments are welcome.

I have applied for visa186 in early November 2017, and then applied for Medicare in June 2018. I did not stop the private insurance as suggested by MA.

After reading some good news from this forum, I have just emailed my MA last week for updates on the visa application and he replied no news at all. No CO, no approvals, no progress.

Today I got a mail dated 16 Aug 2018, sent by Medicare. It states the Department of Home Affairs has advised Medicare that the status of my application for PR has changed. So now I am no longer eligible for Medicare from 15 Sep 2018. 

But according to my MA last week, there should be no changes in my application. Does anyone encounter the same situation? Are there any policy changes?

Any comments shall help. Thanks a lot.
