Guys, Anyone had this situation.

Last updated date in immi account changed three times so far, but status is still received. No correspondence from department. Response from MA is "despite of date change, no communication from immi. Will keep monitoring ur application and let you know if any further updates received." Currently the last updated date shows "04 Feb 2019".

You had applied in May 2018, seems to be you will be hearing a good news soon, all the best. May be they started looking into your nomination application.

Hey Guys, 

Quick question. Immi has requested, AFP Check, UK Police Check and Health Checks but no Form 80. Do you think they will ask me for a form 80 if they haven't already? 

I would love to try and get away with not doing the Form 80 as it looks as if it is a massive pain in the arse but if they are going to ask me I would rather get it out the way now if you know what I mean. 

Thanks in advance for your help. 

Alex 

Good to hear IMMI has opened you file.

I would suggest to submit  form 80, check the messages in this forum where lot of people advised to submit it. As far as i know form 80 is a mandatory document that need to be uploaded.

You would here the people on this group saying shortly about the same what i had said. Rather than making further delay it would be best to submit as if IMMI department ask it later and it would delay again in processing your application.

Silent reader her for the last 11 months. First time posting. 

Yesterday i checked my application  online and found that it is in initial assessment stage however immigration was asking for additional documentation for my partner (police clearance and proof of English) both of which i know i sent to my MA as part of my application. When i checked the documents uploaded for my application, i found that 1 police clearance was not uploaded and his English certificates were not there. 

When I spoke to my MA, she advised that it was an issue from department and they sent them an email together with the documents to clarify that it has been uploaded before. (not entirely sure i want to believe this.) 

Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know that its best to do a bit of checking and due diligence. I wouldn't have found out that my nomination was approved or that there were missing documents if I didn't check  and now I'm regretting that I did  not check earlier to ensure all was uploaded when i got access to my application. (via help from this forum of course!  )

All the best hoping it wont take much time for you to receive the grant.

Hey guys and girls update from me. 

My MA just contacted me as he’s been on the phone to the case officer today. 

I need to get a new NZ police check done as my one is more than 6 months old. 

It has to be less than 6 months old and have a consent form with it. 

Other thsn that I’ve been advised my application is fine and this is the final thing needed to get my golden email. 

Although it’s not a grant I’m happy knowing I’m on my way to freedom

Thats a good news, did your MA contacted directly to them or they called him?

@ajkhey bro did ur nomination get approved in 3months?

Yes nomination approved in 3 months.

1 minute ago, SM6 said:

One reason of that is because you're visa was lodged after your nomination was approved. It seems like for cases where all of the lodgements (nomination + visa) are done at once, the time gap between the 2 grants isn't as long. 

Yeah, it all depends to case by case.

Completely varies, a couple of my friends had Nomination and VISA approved the same day, others it can take a couple of weeks, some even longer.

 

I am been waiting from almost 11 months even though my nomination was approved. So tough to say.
