If CO only ask addtional infroamtion regarding yourself (criminal check/ health exam) it means nomination has been finalzied. If Co still have conerned regarding your position or company, company need to prepare the document to support your nomination, in this case, norminlization and visa could be approved at same time.

Ok, i went to look at the old email with the invitation to comment nomination refusal and the subject starts with "Team 01- IMMI Invitation etc.. etc... "

Any idea what Team 01 is?

 

sorry mate, this beyond my knowledge.

Hi Carter,

do you know how to find out if the application is/was low risk or not?

cheers

this is a very complex question, in short I will say it depends on the size of sponsor company, the genuine requirement of the posisiton and other factors. For example, if a low turnover, 5 empolyees company hire a accountant, immigration definitely will question the genuine need of this position and define it as a high risk.

Although I'm happy for those people being processed super fast - I'm equally frustrated (and I know I'm not even a worst case of waiting either)

Is there genuinely a pattern of higher priority job types being worked more urgently....or is this an attempt to lower overall timeframe statistics by working newly received applications quickly? Cynical I know but I've seen this sort of stats fudging before elsewhere.

Hi mate,  

I got some inside of this. Based on MIA udpates, Department of Home Affair have two group of staffs dealing the old applications ( they didnt define "old"), also they set up a specialist group dealing with new appliacations. beside those changes, their proority is prcess the applicaitons are decision ready or low risk. So far, there still are 30,000 186 applicaitons in the queue. I hope this help.

Cheers,

Carter

Morning all,

I received my golden email yesterday. I've been incredibly lucky, our application was finalised just over a month after lodgement. Details are in my signature. We arrived in Australia in Aug 2016 and with the changes to the 457 visas, didn't think this day would come for us.

Thank you for everyone who has contributed to this forum. It's been so helpful to speak with other people in similar situations. I wish you all the best of luck!

If I can be of help in any way, please let me know.

Congrats Echo, 

Can I ask that in the S56 Request for More Infor Letter, what the deadline to submit the addtional information?

Many thanks,

Carter

newbie here,

457 to 186 

Management Consultant 

2 applicants

applied nomination and visa in 30 April 2019.

Ask for further information in 7 May 2019 ( Police Clearance and health examination)

Immiaccount Status: Further Assessment

I'm not sure the nomination status, but already emailed MA for confirmation. 

My understanding is Further Assessment is the last step beofre finalise my application, but what if nomination has not been granted yet... is this normal in the forum?

All,

I have some updates. 

I contact my MA, she confirmed that the nomination was granted with DoHA asking to provide further information at same time. I hope they could keep up the the processing speed all the way down to the end. 

Cheers,
