With the current topic - can someone provide a link to complain for slow process.

Normal email I have already made and got a standard reply .. that we are processing and will let you know soon.

Please provide the contact info you can.

Thanks in advance

I believe this is the link guys. Just follow the prompts. Please remember this not the department’s preferred way of enquiry so if your application is within 24 month processing time, I would suggest refraining from using this. 

Good luck!

Hi deoma,

same here, but I don’t know how to complain to the immigration? Write a letter to them? But if they did not read your case, they won’t open your file. If we make a call to the migration, they always say ‘ it depends on different case and some cases are complicated......’ I want to say no matter how complicated the cases are, the officers should deal with the over time cases. Otherwise why they write the standard processing time. Sorry write too much. At last, if you know how to contact the migration in person, would you please let me know. I will join  in you!   

Hi Guys

I applied in April 2017 and my file is finally being processed. Last month, my MA lodged a complaint through the immi website enquiring about my application and we received a response from them in the next few days to say they are currently processing the application. 

It is  a compliant form that you have to fill on the website not an email. I would suggest to use this way of contacting the dept only if you are outside of the normal processing time. On another note, please make sure you get copies of visa lodgement etc as a proof from your MA, I have heard terrible horror stories about some MAs who have taken the money and lied to clients that the applications were lodged but nothing was actually lodged. I don’t mean to scare you but better be safe than sorry.

I hope your applications are processed soon and we all get our approvals soon. 

sending best wishes to all.

Hi every one

Am waiting from feb17nomination and visa lodge in april  ,it almost 24 months. I got one question they check processing time with nomination or visa date. Plz give a valuable suggestions. Is it  a positive or negative sign to taking time .

 

 

Hi There

I am in the same boat. Nomi applied Oct -16 and visa applied Mar-17. My nomination got approved in June-17 and I have been waiting ever since. I had the same question about the processing time so I called immi last month and was very fortunate to get a very nice lady for a change. She informed me that the processing times start from the date the visa application is received. 

In saying that, we have seen lots of people in this forum getting their results much earlier or well within the processing times. It has all been so random these days. I also spoke to my MA and they seem to be of the same opinion because it’s hard to point on a particular pattern. 

My MA did point out that perhaps the applications from before April/May 2017 are being scrutinized more as compared to the ones after the major change was announced in the requirements. As the new applicants had to satisfy higher requirement levels, there is less risk of abusing the system and therefore perhaps their applications are being processed faster. 

I have just tipped over the 22 months processing time frame so fingers crossed should hear something in the coming days. 

Wishing everyone all the best and keeping my fingers crossed for my family and all my mates here. Hope we get a fair chance to make this place our permamanet home.

The nomination approval letter says:

This nomination approval ceases on the earliest of the following:
● the day on which Immigration receives notification, in writing, of the withdrawal of the
nomination by the sponsoring entity;
● 6 months after the day on which the nomination is approved.

Did your MA say anything about the above clause?

Hi Gary,

The 6 month’s validity is for the applicant to apply. Below is a snap shot from the nomination approval I had received. 

exactly my thought, that is why I had called in Oct 2018, questioning if something had been missed by error etc.

the guy on the phone said, the way their procedures are designed. it is not possible. They could at worst miss sending the email to inform of the outcome however the immi account would definitely show that the decision has been made.

He just point blank refused to look any further into the case for me.

The nomination was granted in Aug 2017, this wait is for the applicant's visa.

In regards to the processing times- my MA has informed me that it counts from the date the applicant's visa in lodged.

I am currently sitting on 22nd month, so should be expecting something very soon , (fingers crossed).

Since then no news.

Three months past still nothing update is that normal? 

 

Hi,

They had requested for updated reference letters in June 2017 which I provided within a week. The status of my application has been "further assessment" ever since, over 1.5 years now. My nomination was approved Aug 2017. It has been that long, I don't even know what to make of this lengthy wait. Have called the department multiple times and they refuse to entertain because I am still within the 22 months processing time frame.  I am so disheartened.

Hi dear, if your nomination has approved then don't worry you must call to immigration, coz I did after my nomination immigration requested some documents and for 2 month didn't heard any things then I decided to call them with confidence and next day early morning I got my permanent residency after Ten years!! So believe in yourself. Don't forget to call them early morning keep handy your all details

Hi Brarz,

Thank you for your reply. it gave me much needed reassurance. May I please ask what they said to you when you called them? were they of any help?

I called them first thing this morning and got the usual - your case is being looked at - you are withing the processing time frame - all applications are assessed on case by case basis etc etc etc.

No explanation to why there is such a significant delay.

Please share how your conversation went with the representative?

Thanks again

Are you from WA as well?

Hi Guys,

Have been following this forum for a while and sometimes it helps to read some good news when the wait is so ridiculously long.

My case is a bit weird, i was wondering if anyone has a similar case or has heard of anything similar?

State: WA

Position: Jewellery designer

RCB approved: 6 Nov 2016

Nomination approved: 4 July 2017

Visa applied: 1 Mar 2017

Application opened: 4 July 2017 (note this is the same day taht my nomination was approved, so very peculiar)- my MA and I were pleasantly surprised by the application being opened so quickly.  They requested for some reference letters from my previous employers which we provided by 11th July 2017.

And that was it!! - I have been waiting for correspondence ever since.

My employer contacted Immi by phone in May 2018 and we were only told "it is being looked at" and the guy wouldn't say another word.

You can imagine my level of frustration.

Please share you thoughts and experiences.

Has any one in WA heard from immi recently?

Thank you guys.
