@Hex, yes I know. I was merely stating that 75 points in not enough and how long we "waited" for 2 years. We eventually went for ENS because it was the only way for us to PR.

Thanks Shaun. Not sure if you know that in have also applied for ENS only under DE pathway with the employer being a big corporate business house in Australia. So let’s see.  Thanks.

It should be 2 years of 3? On the IMMI websitet, it is mentioned that "you must have worked for your employer full-time for at least three years".

Yes it is minimum of 3 years working experience, which is a mandatory requirement.

No 75 is not enough currently 

Ok. Thanks for letting me know. Let’s see. Otherwise I would stay back where I am.

Do you have an agent?   You need to find out exactly which caveat applies to accountancy and then check whether your employer can satisfy the extra requirements (whatever they are).  If they can't, then the visa will be rejected.

Yes, we have managed to meet all criteria required for DE path. And yes I do have an agent working on my case.   Thank you.

What do you mean by enough points?   For accountancy you need very high points. I think the minimum right now is 85 points but I haven't checked it recently.

Hi, I am getting 75 points considering all factors for accounting profession. Do you think it’s enough?

Could you get enough points for normal PR?

Yes we can get enough points for normal PR based on various factors. We got it checked already.

This is before of the occupation, "Accountant" is caveated and reported delays are very long.

Hmm, that explains the delay and it seems that the waiting period could be much longer than we would have anticipated. Looks like it’s better to apply for normal PR for Australia and then get employed once PR has come through. Do you know if we can apply for normal PR along with 186 application already submitted or we have to withdraw first?

Thank you.

I am surprised a company has been able to sponsor you as an Accountant when there is an over-supply of accountants in Australia currently.   

Hi, yes the company was able to sponsor me, as they are a big corporate house, and I am known to them...  Could that be the reason that there is an over-suppl of accountants in Australia is delaying my application and could possibly result in rejection?

Hello Everybody

I have applied for ENS Sub-class 186 (Direct Entry Pathway), as I have been sponsored by an Australian company for an accountant's post.

The application and nomination were both submitted on 3 March 2018.  Ever since then, my application status only states "Received" and there is no further update.

The current processing time states 13 to 14 months, which is already passed.  I am now getting impatient and worried too.

Is the processing period normal and why no case officer has yet been assigned for my case?  How long do you think I will have to wait further?  Is there anything I should do in the meantime?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
