ACT June 2017

Thank you DD. Merry Christmas.

Congrats Amy. I am so happy for you. Please did you update your Medicals as well? My MA told me I cant update my Medicals until Immi requests for it. I have updated all other docs.

Congrats mate. You are very Lucky. I applied under same occupation in ACT in June 2017. My nomination was approved 1st November 2018 and since then no News.

On paper, it is the highest priority Visa. That is why almost any occupation is eligible, the English Language requirement is not so high and you can be on Bridging Visa A, B or C when you apply. However, the processing time and Refusal rate do not seem to tally with the high priority. I dont know why.

Go to Fairwork. Join the union and claim your right.

Thank you. I will keep in touch.

Thank you Ish90. Please do you need Licensing/Registration as a group Leader or do you mean Licensing/Registration of your Employer? Thanks for sharing.

Hi everyone. My nomination was approved on 2nd November 2018. No document was requested. Visa and nomination lodged in June 2017. Since then I have not heard anything. 5 weeks now. Please is there any with a similar experience? Childcare group leader, ACT.

Its a good sign, meaning your file is open and would be processed further if documents requested are supplied on time. Same for visa file.

Only 75% of applications are processed during that time frame. For the remaining 25% you cant tell how long.

MilaMocha I think you can see the facts for yourself. You only decide to listen to yourself and you are telling yourself what you want to hear. Its is very clear that time spent on bridging visa and 457 do not count towards 2 years.

Two years only count from the day you get PR.

Please what did they ask for. Have you got your visa and when was your medical completed.

That makes me to Question how some people get their IELTS or other Eglish tests. I think there is now a back door.

Yes I in the same shoes. My nomination was approved 1st November 2018. No request for more information till today 5th December. Nomination and visa lodged june 2017. Medicals and all documents submitted then. Have you heard from them now?

Congrats Jaylou. I am very happy for you. Please did they request for any document after approving your nomination and when was you Medicals completed.

Hi Deepak, Please what documents did they ask for and when did you complete your Medicals and PCC. Were they still valid?

Hi everyone. Please has anybody got a visa grant for file lodged between april and june 2017 without request for Medicals and Pcc. My medicals and pcc were submitted in june 2017. My nomination was approved without request for more docs. My visa file is still showing received.

Sorry to hear that. Please can you share the reason for your visa application refusal.

Sorry to hear that. Please was it the visa or nomination that was refused.

Hi Gary, Did they open you visa file same day? When did you complete your medicals and when was your nomination and visa lodged. Timeline please.

Has anyone had nomination approved without request for more documents even when medicals and pcc are expired (about 18 months). Its more than 4 weeks since my nomination approval and no news or request for docs.

When did you submit requested documents. Visa is usually finalised 4-8 weeks from date of nomination if requested docs are submitted on time.

I am new to this forum. My timeline is Rcb lodged november 2017. Rcb approved January 2018 Nomination and visa lodged June 1st 2017. All documents including Medicals submitted. Nomination approved November 1st 2018. No doc was requested. Occupation: Child Care group Leader State: ACT 187 Direct entry. My question is: Is it usual for Immi not to open Visa file one month after nomination approval? They also did not request any doc. My medicals and PCC were done in June 2017.

You may not be able to lodge an appeal if your application is refused when you are offshore. That is the only risk.
