Hi @Kinnu, there is no straight answer to this question. It all depends on what visa one hold currently. Your existing visa will still be valid unless it is a bridging visa.
-
As far as I know, they only asked for the documents if they are expired.

Hi @Nagra77, just create an immi account and click on import application. You would be able to navigate through from there.

Hi @Jerita and @Pradip12, I share your pain and I know how hard it is to wait. Though I did not wait as long as you guys but I know how painful each day is and the process to log in to immi account to just get some news. I would have agreed to your FIFO and fair arguments, if the world we live in is simply perfect. If processes in each countries take same time, each job is similar to other, each businesses works similar to other and demand for every opportunity is same, then we could achieve a fair and FIFO system. Eventually, this would make immigration a waste. But the world is not perfect and no two things are same. Assume department adopts FIFO system and your applications gets delayed because the person before you has a criminal record then we all will complain about the same system. Sorry guys, please don't infer that I am pointing a reason for the delay of applications but just trying to put my reasoning. I second your opinion that the current system can be improved but FIFO may not be the right path. You guys have already waited so long, have faith and hope for the best. Best of luck.

Hi @NnN, please provide some more details of your current visa. As you mentioned that you applied for 186 TRT. If you were is Australia at the time of lodgement of your application, what Visa you were in at that time and what is the expiry date of it?
-
Hi @Elise, there is no restriction from the Visa perspective with regards to study or secondary employment. As long as you are working for the employer who nominated you and as per the job role, position and other terms and condition defined in your application then you are free to do anything. Please note that some companies do not allow their employees to take secondary employment or put some restrictions so please don't take my comments word to word.

Hi @Elise, congratulation. Regarding your question, if your employers complains to immigration department and proves that you never intended to work for 2 years then your visa could be cancelled.
-
No, I don't think so. I have logged into my immi account every day 3-4 times to check the status of my application. I know its sounds bit anxious but this is what this application process makes you.

Hi @Jerita, No worries Mate. Just stay positive. Appreciate you sharing your feelings and letting it out. See a post from @jessie0211 today who shares very identical timelines & profession as you and got the approval yesterday. Have faith, yours should not be far away.

Hi @Jerita, I can truly feel your pain and the agony you are going through. Please don't take it the wrong way. Also, please don't compare your application to the applications of others as there are many factors that impacts the outcome. Also, appreciate the fact that the department never misguided you about the timeline. If the department would have said 3 months and processed your application in 8 months then I agree with your comment. Your application is well within the timeline as stated by the department. Yes, I feel bad about department now changing the timeline and not allowing applicants who have applied earlier a chance to appeal at ombudsmen. But living cost, application cost and other expenses you have mentioned are all well known fact and you have made a decision to come to Australia knowing all these factors so I personally don't see any point in that. Please stay positive, now some applications have started to process quicker than what it was last year. You will be next in line buddy, don't loose hope.

Thanks for sharing the post but sorry to say your last comment is offensive. All the country wants is the best people to come. If they think there is a better way to fill some open positions in the country then so be it. At least people like you and me have got a chance to live here before deciding to settle and can make more informed choices. If you loose the spot to a better candidate then just don't loose heart. Unfortunately, this is just the law of nature.

Hi @Milan SERBIA Just scroll through some earlier post on the same thread. There was a big discussion on this. I also checked my s56 request from the department which says following: " evidence the applicant achieved an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) average band score of at least 4.5 based on the four test components of speaking, reading, writing and listening in a test conducted not more than 12 months before lodging the visa application or at the time of processing the visa application " This clearly states the they are looking for an average score of 4.5 and not 4.5 in each. So in your case in should be fine. I dont think there is a need to re-write the exam. In my case my partner scored 90 in all 4 sections of PTE so I did not have to worry about it. But there was one person on this forum who was in your situation and he got the PR, please check the earlier posts to find who that person was and PM him/her directly.

Hi @Milan SERBIA, Based on my limited understanding, I can say that timelines can vary based on a lot of factors and occupation code is also one of them.

Thanks for sharing. Yes, the limbo of bridging visa is painful for genuine applicant and great for scammers. The only solution, I can think of is department improving their processing times. Lately, we have seen some improvements with some Visa classes which is encouraging.

Hi @TooGoodToBeTrue, sorry to hear about your long wait and understand some frustration it can create. Please note at no point I was quoting any definitive timeline that applies to everyone. Thanks for your comment which informs others about different timelines of an individual application and to make me realize the exact word I use while commenting. Wishing you all the best for your application.
