    Two people today mentioned they got rejection due to the missing org chart, and are saying there is no pattern. Isn't it a pattern?

    But she also said that others in same role/ same company were accepted and no chart was requested. So it is not equal for everyone.

     

    Every day I just seem to hear worse news. Hard to stay positive in the current climate.

    Immigration apparently wasn't convinced that my company needed me (which is strange as they'd been accepting PRs for colleagues of mine for years and accepted another 2 this year) - they claimed that they were missing some proof and gave the org chart as an example. They wanted to see which position had been vacant for a while and how I was the only one who could fill that vacancy. This is actually very strange as there are no org charts in consulting (the more staff we have the more work we can sell so the more work we have...) and they had never requested this type of document in the past...

    Instead of requesting this "missing document", they rejected the nomination and I had to start from scratch...

    How absurd and unfair. Really makes me wonder what goes on in there. I just can't believe they just dump you like that. ' Oh we don't have all the info we need to make a decision, we could easily ask for it, orrrr we could just keep numbers and wait times lower and just reject' Maybe the CO had a bad day. 😡

    Did you supply a letter stating genuine need for you in your position? And did you use an MA? 

    Did you appeal and reapply at same time?

    Customer Service Manager - 149212 is seen as a high risk occupation. IMMI scrutinise these applications more than others.

    I assume that's the occupation he was Nominated under.

     

    Yeah thanks for that folks. Too many people trying to scam the system making it an extra hard and long process for people like me.

    Congrats mate.

     

    I am having a question, can  anyone clarify me?

    My company also lodged my 186 visa on February 2018 and still its in RECEIVED status.

    I am not sure what is the difference between the Nomination Lodged Vs Visa applied? I am not able to understand what level is my application based on the status

     

    You can lodge your application in 2 parts (company nomination, then personal application) or both together (quicker outcome). 

    You cannot see when they open the nomination (company part) as this contains private company info, but when a decision is made on this part you will be informed. 

    ' received' just means they have got your application but has not been opened.

    Is there any reliability that companies with large #s of staff get accepted/granted earlier?  Or certain positions?

     

    If you have followed this forum for a while, I think there is a pattern-- definitely roles that are now removed from wanted list taking a v long time.

    I think it may be good to discuss some possible reasons behind the delay. 

    a) CO (e.g. change of CO, maternity leave, etc.)

    b) Nomination by small firm??

    c) Occupation

    d) Any issues in the application (e.g. convictions, work experience from an unknown employer, previous visa refused bu AU or other countries) 

    e) ??

    My guess is occupation and company size/ turnover play big parts. With some staffing issues thrown in.

    But this is ridiculous. I already got a police check which was valid till few months ago and I have been here in Australia .So how can I commit any crime there while I'me here that they ask for updated one! 

    If you have not left Aus for more than 3 months, I think you only need updated AFP police check, not home country.

    Thanks. I was thinking I might do my AFP as its only $40 or so. I realllyyyy don't want to re-do medicals as I have already spent so much on this visa and can't really afford it. Especially when all the time/ effort of last one was pointless. I had no medical issues - praying for a wonderful CO having a great day 🙂

    The department had requested a further police check from AFP on 22 of may 2018.

    Hey Shawn,

     

    Are you applying from LR or HR country, and had your medicals expired also?  Our situations are almost identical, but my application is still 'received' 😞   Just deciding whether to renew AFP checks and medicals, or risk further delay.

    Should let more people know this story.

    Yes. While I would never do such a thing, this whole process has taken such a toll on me and those around me. Financial, stress, the unknown, hurdles along the way. I was so pleased to eventually submit my application after 5 years here in Aus but since then there have been more stresses and the wait time has tripled (when I applied I was told 6-8 months). 


    My friends and family have moved away so I have no hometown/ friends to go back to in the UK. Myself and my Aus partner feel like we cannot make long-term plans, my expired police checks and health checks werent even looked at, not a day goes by where I don't stress about the outcome, especially with rumours and growing concerns in changes in immigration such as removal of my job title, and rejecting companies with small turnovers. 


    I also may have to make a decision next month on whether to withdraw and apply for a more certain partner visa as, as of Feb my 457 runs out as this has taken so long (I mean if I wait for answer and it is a no when I am on bridging visa, I cannot then apply for another visa) . This means all my expenses and time and effort and stress was for nothing which is so disheartening, as well as having to pay another $7k for a new visa. 

    I try to be positive and know I am in a better position than others, but you still cannot help it affecting you, especially seeing so many Feb/March approvals and knowing your life plans come down to 1 persons decision. 

    Praying for an Xmas miracle and good luck to everyone.

    Discuss some data from official website (186)

    Hi everybody,

    I`m so boring today, so I just share some data that I found recently.

    By the way, you may find this article is not very easy to read as my English is not very good.😄

     

    Here`s the link:

    https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/research-and-stats/files/report-migration-program-2017-18.pdf

    Please turn to Page12.

     

    According to these numbers, we can know that there is 34966 applications lodged in 2017-2018 financial year and 29307 places approved.

    We also can know that there is 34398 places are in the pipeline as at 30/06/2017 and 29842 places as at 30/06/2018.

    So we can figure out that the DIBP processed (34966+34398-29842=39522) applications in 2017-2018 financial year and the successful rate is about 29307/39522=74%.

    Please note that the numbers above means applications (including primary applicant and dependents), if we want to know the amount of primary applications we could use the link below:

    https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/foi/files/2018/fa180400717-document-released.pdf

    It shows us the proportion roughly.

    I think we all want to how many cases can be processed every month, if I`m thinking right, DIBP processed about 18000 primary applications in 2017-2018 financial year, 1500 cases per month in average.

    I hope those data could answer some questions and help us get a little bit relieved.

     

    At last, I share a link to everyone:

    https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/access-and-accountability/freedom-of-information/disclosure-logs/2018

    We can request many information from the Department, what you need to do is simply ask!

    Good luck!

     

    Thank you!

     Correct me if I am wrong, but this shows they have less applications submitted, yet process fewer per month now, and triple the wait times?

    That's not an Audit. Your CO requested more docs from the company. The audit is when an ABF officer makes a request not your CO to the director of the company from his email address and mentions categorically that this is a company Audit for 457 Visa holders, asks for the list of documents to be submitted within 14 days time frame. Your CO may or can request an Audit . 

    Only your MA can ring and speak to your Case officer.  Depends on the migration agents. some migration agents have the dept. direct numbers to be honest.  You can't ring and ask for your Case officer as per my understanding. 

    Hey, did your company sponsor many people on 457? Im curious as to why they were so suspicious even after their visit. 5 officers would be so intimidating!
    @RP007 you too?
