ACT June 2017

Nomimation approved on 1st Nov 2018. No document requested. Visa and Nomination submitted June 2017. No news yet.

Congratualtions Bryant. When did you complete your Medicals. Is it up to 18 months?

Child Care Group Leader

Cograts. That was so fast.

I don't think its about the state. The employer and the position seem to be more important than the state. I know a Child Care group Leader in Canberra that got Nomination and Visa very fast. Her employer is the biggest provider of Children services in Australia. Another thing that may affect processing is the complexity of the application (specifically for visa file). I hope this helps. A couple of Group Leaders in Canberra have had their Nomination approved between 17-19 months. Dont worry you will get there soon.

Hello everyone. Happy new year. My Nomimation was approved on 1st November 2018 and there was no request for further documents. I have not heard anything since then and the Visa status remains received. Please is anyone in a similar situation or knows someone who had a.similar situation. Visa file not allocated to CO 2 months after nomination approval and no request for any document. Child Care group Leader. ACT. Visa and nomination submitted in June 2017 (same time).

There is no way to know of a CO is looking at the file..Dont worry you will get your PR soon. That's the next thing that will happen.

Congratulations. That was pretty fast.

The post is correct to some extent. 21-22 months is the timeframe for 75% of visas to be finalised. Nomomation can come any time before then. In some cases visa and nomination are approved on the same day if they were lodged at the same time. At other times, visa may take 1-3 months after nomination and sometimes 6 months if the case is complex. Nomination is about 90%, because once you have the right qualification and pass medical and police checks you will sure get the visa after a successful nomination. I hope this helps.

Visa usually takes 1day to 3 months after nomination if they were both lodged at the same time..So the 21-22 months refers to the time to finalise your visa application not the nomination.

Yes I did. June 2017

No worries. Il wait and see

I paid 90 dollars online and got it in 3days. Pretty easy

Does it mean no CO has opened my visa file since Nov 1st. Because no one has asked for extra docs and no communication whatsoever. Visa status is still "recieved". Is it possible to get grant straight from received status.

Yes visa and nomination submitted same time in first week of June 2017

Congrats Deegee. So happy for you. Beautiful christmas gift.

Thank you Kyle. I really don't understand why the visa file is still not allocated since nomination approval on 1st November. Is it usually the same CO for both Nomination and Visa?

Status says "received"

I dont have my immi account details. My MA did not tell me anything.

Please is there any one waiting since November 1st 2018 for visa after Nomination approval without any request for more documents or information? Does it usually take so long after nomination for visa file to be opened?

Childcare group Leader , ACT June 2017. Nomination approved 1st November . No document requested and no news yet about Visa.

The only thing that shows on AFP clearance is any offense that led to a court case. If you don't have a court case, there is nothing to worry about.

Thank you mate.

You have got your visa. When did you do your medicals. Was it when you submitted your application 19 months ago?

Congrats mate. I am so happy for you. Please when did you do your Medicals and PCC.
