Hi All

 My nomination is approved and  CO asked for Medical and AFP , which i already submitted. But status is still  " Received" . Is it normal?

yes, nomination and application are 2 different accounts

@Mick1983 I totally understand where you come from, it's been over 18 months wait for myself and this situation is just unbearable.

I agree, it is unfair, especially when there is absolutely nothing we can do to get in touch with department so someone finally open our applications.

These processing times are just a joke. Doesn't make any sense to open applications of 2018 while people in 2017 are still waiting, lives on hold...

Good luck mate, hopefully we'll have a nice CO taking care of us soon

We spoke to our MA today and he confirmed our suppositions that DOHA is divided into two teams now with one team processing visas from August onwards, and the second team everything before August.

How your MA got that info?

Hi all,

In the spreadsheet there is a lot of people showing as "received" from before November/2017, what do you guys think if everyone that is from before Nov/2017 add a comment like "still waiting Mar/2019" so in that way we all know who is really waiting... otherwise for me just look like some people didn't bother to say what happened, left the country or any other thing could happened and looking at their "waiting" doesn't help us at all to have a real perspective of waiting times... specially in terms of an specific profession!!

People that don't add any comment by the end of March we could just remove from the spreadsheet...

Just an idea, let me know your thoughts...  

still waiting from september 2017.... but i havent been added to the sheet though (if someone can help? @natmis?)

Hi all!

my MA finally send an email to immigration last week as I have passed the 18 months. However we got kind of a standard reply, but want to share it anyway.

Processing time are an indication of how long it takes to process 75% of applications and 90%. Individually cases might vary because of:

- TRT vs. DE

- Occupation ( If its on the Medium term list or not)

- Company Size and turnover

I dont think everyone is on the spreadsheet, including myself, but I have not seen any Restaurant Managers Approved that applied for a 186 DE after me. Only TRT or DE in another occupation. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I think you're right Suusz, i'm in the same position as you...very frustrating

Hi everyone, i've been a silent reader for some time now, and it's so nice to see how everyone support each other.

It seems like almost all of you have a MA... anyone else did their application by themselves? do you guys think it would matter to CO/Immi?

Also, anyone who could explain how the google sheet works? I just registered and don't know how to put my details in.

Good luck to you all in the meantime!
