It indeed calls for celebration  Many Congratulations. 

In most cases visa is granted within a few weeks/a month after nomination is approved. All the Best and do keep us posted! 

Did you receive that email on 4th April ?

Hey guys, I have been a quiet reader for a while, but I just got my nomination approved and I have some questions about it.

Do you guys know roughly how long it takes to have your visa accessed after your nomination is approved?
And I also would like to know how relevant is that? I'm celebrating either way because it is a step towards our golds ( me and my wife's ) but does this means the hardest part is passed and I'll probably get my visa soon?

Thanks in advance. 

You will get it soon bro...!! You are almost done keep praying for everyone else who are waiting

Hi Everyone, 

Me and my partner is waiting for our 186 visa which we applied last year May 2018,  we got this email from immigration on 4/04/2019 that soon CO for our file would be allotted. .

My employer updated all the information to date ..

Yesterday we got this message from  case  manager that the second applicant's ( my partner) business name on his online business is different than his name as he uses different name just  to name it easy for his clients but all his legal papers for business has his  original name... actually case manager checked his website and saw his changed name online..

 

I am sure we would be the first one to get this ... do anyone knows if it  can be a problem for our application.. any suggestion plzzzz

 

When did you apply ?

Are you waiting for nomination ?

Hi Everyone 

My boss just called and advised my PR has been granted, absolutely delighted and surprised that they did not request a new medical as ours was completed in July 2017 - we had a refused nomination prior to this application.

Straight out approval - no request for anything further 

Also very surprised we got granted on Good Friday (public holiday) 

My MA agent received the email on 4/4/19 advising will be allocated soon.

Thank you everyone in this forum, this is a great community with so much help, advice and support.

Wish you all the very best.... now a nice long weekend to celebrate

7 years in Australia and now finally a permanent resident - buzzing!

Well enjoy your day...!!! Congrats..!! I received that email too let see when will be my turn

Skilling Australian fund (SAF) has been introduced to replace Training Benchmark requirement. Anyone applied 457 or 186 Visa need to fulfil this requirement. In this, if you are a small business with turnover less than 10 million, need to pay $3000 into this fund for 186 visa and business over 10 million fee will be $5000. 

 

Is your nomination approved ?

What does SAF stands for?

Skilling Australian fund (SAF) you paid this levy with your nomination and you will be exempted with benchmark training money.. applicants after 12 Aug paid this levy .

What's wrong with immigration time processing time again increased, why they are not processing an application before Aug 2018? Do it make a huge difference in processing time between  SAF and non-SAF application? It seems like all old applicants have to wait until immigration finishes all SAF applications.

What’s the new processing time Mine is not updated yet ?0

Oh it means whoever didnt pay SAF levy also received it.. its becoming really confusing why we received that mysterious email and still no progress since then..

Did you pay SAF levy ? 

It might be lolly pop by immigration to make people happy  

12 minutes ago, Dep18 said:

For sure SAF levy makes it easier for applications to be assessed. 

My MA told me that she received the email last week or week before stating the same. I lodged the application in May 2018. However no news. Im just learning to love this limbo! 

Fingers crossed for all of us! 

Hopefully soon we will get our visa or atleaet nomination I am waiting from July

Someone told me that whoever paid the SAF levy which is after Aug-18 got these emails and possibly it becomes really easy for DoHa to make decisions as they dont have to run after the benchmarks. I am not sure its true or not but same like u i received this email and since then no response. Hopefully everyone will get their grants soon. Fingers crossed   

I got that email too i applied in July 2018..
