My dear friend Geace,

Sorry to hear your story. Don't keep your hopes up with your visa unless you find a new employer who can sponsor you before this 187 abolishes only if you have 3years of experience at present in your nominated occupation but I think it will be more tough for you as you had spend a lot of money already.

First you should have withdrawn your visa the moment you came to know about your employer bar. Secondly doesn't matter who the lawyer is no one can challenge immigration from the bar that was imposed on your employer. Your new agent has absolutely misguided you. They definitely knew your nomination will be refused one day. Jason knew you being innocent and a good opportunity for him to fetch money within 5months from you. I will suggest you to write a review on their website to make others aware about the fraud lawyer like Jason who believes in making money fast.

You can write a letter and explain your situation to DIBP but DIBP will not consider your case anymore as whatever happened its between you and your employer. Immi has no role to play in it but just before giving up try writing them a letter and explain you were no where at fault. 

One of my friend's friend got refusal for the same reason as well. He is working now for a new employer after refusal and trying for sponsorship from him. So all the best for your future. I am really sorry for what happened with you. Please don't rush while hiring a agent again.

Thank you very much for your comfort and suggestions. It’s too painful visa traveling. 

Hi everyone,

can anybody help or give me some suggestions? My nomination got refused on 25/07/2019. 

Nomination applied 28/10/2016,

visa applied 01/11/2016.

In 2017 one of the stuffs in my working place sue my boss to the fair work,because unfair dismissal and under payment. My boss got penalty. In 01/03/2019,my boss received a bar from the immigration. The immigration bar the sponsorship from sponsoring more people until 01/09/2020. My boss told me this bar on 13/03/2019. After that the boss also told me that he stoped the service with the agent. I was worried a lot. I asked many agents about this. But my boss said if I cannot find a lawyer they won’t continue help me because they don’t trust any agents.  That time was already weekends,only one lawyer agent answered my phone located in Sydney named Agape Henry Crux. The lawyer named Jason answered my phone and analyzed my case in 16/03/2019 and said I have a big chance to win my case,they sign a contract with me.  I paid them $7800 including gst. And the lawyer team did submission about the bar to the immigration and take carriage with my case and told the immigration I have changed to this agent. In May,I didn’t get any news from immigration and worried a lot. So I asked my lawyer team if they can write a complaint to the immigration. The lawyer team replied me that because this is an additional instructions and I need to pay $1000 (plus Gst). I think it’s really unfair for me and argue with me. I signed the contract said they will help me with case and this is a part of my case. I didn’t pay them any more money and I wrote the complaint to the immigration by myself. The lawyer team said my case is very urgent and they said they helped me a lot so that’s why charge so much for me. But the immigration refused the nomination because my boss bad record. The fact proved that what  my lawyer did does not work at all. Before this,I asked my lawyer if my case fail,do you refund me? They said if it is their fault yes,if not no. After I received the refusal letter from immigration and asked the lawyer team if they can return part is my fee,they said they don’t pay the result fee. I showed them the screenshots to show that they promised me before if it is their fault they will refund me. 

Today this morning they replied me and said ‘We will be informing the Department of Home Affairs that we can no longer act for you. I trust that 7 days will be adequate time for you to seek a different lawyer.’ 

I don’t want to look for any agents now. But I don’t know how I can let the immigration know my situation and contact me directly. 

Can anybody help me to figure out what I can do. I will really appreciate it is you can give me some suggestions. Thank you very much for everyone.

Hi guys,

Please does anyone have an idea what else I need to do.

I have been on further assessment since feb2019 when my nomination was approved and all document requested was provided. Another CO contacted me to provide finger print on May 6 approved my my country i.e another police check. This have provided on May 9. But uptil now i have not heard anything. All email to co never replied too. Is there any better ways to do this.

I applied as a social worker

Visa applied May 2018.

Thanks

Maybe you can give them a call and ask if they received your email or not. Normally they are required to reply you email at least in my opinion. Good luck 

Hi everyone, 

very stress-full and boring. Why my case is so slow. I even called them and complained, still no updates.

Hi guys,

so boring. It’s already one month after requesting from immigration. No any updates.

They are sleeping. Am been waiting for 6 months now

That’s too long, why you don’t call them and ask why?

Hi everyone,

does anybody have any ideas about the processing time? My situation is that the immigration ask my lawyer if we will do explanation for the bar or not within two weeks, actually we already done it before that ask. But after that, no any updates almost 3 weeks.

I'm still on 'Further Assessment' after updating everything that was requested by immi, back in April 2019.

I know there's people who are a lot frustrated and worse off than me, but I would rather them refuse me the visa, rather than have us hanging on.

Nomination has been approved, everything all submitted with all Medicals done, at least with a refusal I can move on.

The anxiety they cause by no communication or ability to communicate after they have received everything, is pretty shocking to say the least.

i love a good moan

Maybe you can give them a call. I totally understand the waiting anxiety.

Visa refused June 2019 

Reason not  provides some documention like job reference , ato summary but i provided all documention to my lawyer but he did not upload all documention . thats why co is not satisfied with documention and refused visa . what ever documention co mention i provided all to my lwayer but he did not upload anything. anyone have any suggestion for me what need to do . 

 Sorry to hear that, you should report this lawyer. The lawyer should know know what to upload. By the way, what’s RPL?

It is surprising they responded to your complaint by allocated a decision maker for you application, many of us made complaint before but just got reply that we could only wait. How long have you been waiting?  and don't worry, your case will be open soon i think, good luck

Thank you, I hope so. Quite a long way. Over 30 months

In my understanding, some people on 186 forum have received this email and their files were allocated to case officers soon after receiving this email. Hopefully they will look at your case and finalise soon.

Thank you for your kind reply.

Hi everyone,

Co=decision maker? I received an email from immigration saying that they have allocated a decision maker for my application. Because of my complicated situation, I changed agents. Two weeks ago, the previous agent received an email from immigration reminding if we will explain the ‘bar’. The new agent said that’s not my decision maker, if she was, she should know I have already changed the agents. They won’t be that stupid. But my boss and the previous agent both thought that was my decision maker. But both the two agents wrote to the immigration about this. All most 3 weeks passed, I haven’t heard anything from immigration, very stressful. Do you guys have any ideas about the processing time? Sincerely thanks for anyone who can give me some suggestions.

I hope u will get my point 

Bcz my agent ask me to pay for the complaints. 

Hi everyone,

I made complain to the Migration. I got reply said that they have allocated my application to a  decision maker. It’s already two weeks now. I haven’t received any mews. Do you guys have any ideas when my file is opened? Or at least when they will read my nomination? Very stressful!

I want to share good news with you guys, finally after 24 months I have received my golden email on 16/05/19. 

RCB: 17/04/17

Nomination: 14/05/17

Visa: 16/05/17 

Nomination approval: 20/02/19 (no request) 

S56: 20/02/19 updated health checks and police checks 

requested docs submitted on 08/03/19

S56 second request: 28/03/19 English test and again AFP (IELTS score as officer mentioned it has expired they require new ones, my MA sent an email to DOHA that according to legislation applicant only requires competent English at the  time of submission. As expected no reply received from department I rushed to appear for IELTS, I sat for L/R/W but same day we gotta reply from Department that they don’t require IELTS but what’s a point I already paid for an exam and you can imagine the trauma I was carrying out). 

Anyways another S56 (i was like seriously)- 08/04/19 now they want me to send PCC for New Zealand (as I declared on my application I visited twice for less than 20 days in total because my wife is from NZ, as far as I know about  current legislation you must submit PCC if you have lived in a country for more than 90 days. Any how I contacted Ministry of Justice NZ  about police check they processed my request same day without any charge. How helpful are they! 

Submitted NZ PCC on 09/04/19 

finally after good 24 months I received great news! Remember my submission date? (16/05/17) PR granted on 16/05/17.

Country: HR 

Occupation: Community Worker

State: WA 

Processing team: Team 07 WA (4 case officers) 

Organisation: Non-profit 

organisation sponsored 10+ employees for 187 

All nominations approved same day on 20/02/19 therefore, 3 employees received grant notices. 

Immigration visited and did detail inquiry about the business, genuine need and duties of each employee. 

My personal experience with immigration is not great as I have seen some people applied after me received decisions 2-3 months earlier than mine, which confirms DOHA do not have a transparent and straightforward mechanism. 

My dear friends let me tell you how hard I waited for this grant, I used to check Immi account at least three times a day but there were days when I wanted to withdraw my application because of processing time. As we all know 187 is all about waiting game and I am sure many of you have families (kids etc) this waiting is creating  more and more stress everyday but again enjoy your life with your family we don’t know what’s gonna happen tomorrow. 

Never doubt your abilities for a moment in life...Wish you good luck and ALL THE BEST!!!

Congratulations to you! Thank you to write this in very details. I think most people on this forum are very stressful and thankful for all the kind replies and writings.

Yes I won my case within 4hrs without even attending. But it took 14months for AAT to open my file. Then they requested few documents, we submitted them in 15days, on the 15th Day around 1pm. AAT Approved the Nomination straightaway. I am from SA, Retail Manager.

following my win, there is another applicant who won his case the same way as mine. Follow that page and read the previous posts. You will see the entire story.

 

btw what’s your occupation and state?

Hi mnt,

Does your boss run the business all the time? 14 months is quite a long time. I think most boss won’t wait that long.

Hi geace , would you please let me know how i can make a complaints through the link you have given to me . I tried to complain but it didn't proceed as it should be . Also , can you please tell me after how long you got replied after you made the complaint?

Why you can’t complain? You can follow the steps to do what you want to complain. After I made the complaint, I got reply to confirm they have received my complaint within two days and said they will reply to me within 15 working days. I made complaint on evening Friday, after weekends the Tuesday I got the confirmation email, after that one week later the following Monday I got the reply. Does it make sense to you?

Hi everyone, 

I got a reply from immigration yesterday, but I don’t know what to reply back. Or do I need to reply? Or can I ask back how long it usually takes for an application to be processed after it is allocated to some decision maker? I’m very stressful and worried that I need to wait again without any time permit. Can you give me some suggestions. Thank you very much! The following is the reply email from the immigration. 

“Applications are assessed on a case by case basis. Some individual circumstances may cause applications to fall outside the published processing times. As a network we seek to ensure all cases outside service standard are only undecided because they are the subject of appropriate and necessary ongoing processing. 

However, please be assured that I have progressed your application with the allocation of a decision maker. It will processed as quickly as possible. The decision maker will be in contact with you or your nominated authorised recipient should they require any further information.”

Maybe something like “received with thanks” with proper email format and try to be as polite as possible to them because they are like the god...

Maybe not just ‘received with thanks’.

And also, did you reply back when they reply your complaint? Because I got reply of my complaint today, but I don’t know what to reply. 

‘However, please be assured that I have progressed your application with the allocation of a decision maker. It will processed as quickly as possible. The decision maker will be in contact with you or your nominated authorised recipient should they require any further information.’

I got this reply, but I’m not sure how long does it usually take after my application is allocated to a decision maker. they just say decision make will deal with my case, just very stressful and worried. And also don’t know what to reply.
