All in all I coin is as stated above and at present they are only picking files for onshore applicants. Not picking files if any of member offshore.

My bad was only i didn't do my TR visa after student's visa as when I applied no Trade Assessment required for 187. Now I can't file TR visa and just checking  how to hmget my skills assessment done so I can open more options for me.

I did filed this 187 visa after student's visa studying trade in Aussie. Even I was working in Regional areas while studying  in Melbourne on student's Visa for the same company.

They can’t make any excuse now as your nomination already approved 

so they will have to grant you a visa
 

Even complaining got me this in particular so just hanging and chining up. What's ur status and timelines bro

Even if u follow this forum u will see only COOK Restaurant Manager Chefs are getting grants because they are in list of critical occupations. 

Then at the end I coined at this moment no trades other than

Restaurant Manager 

Cooks

Chefs are going thru.

All other like Welders Auto Mechanics Carpenters Cabinetry  Hair dressers etc trade all of them unwanted and are freexmzed

Had seen applications filed in 18 going in AAT. Winning and Visa Grants even after waiting in AAT. But mine still hanging up

As soon as you get CO it will change to either initial assessment or further assessment 

Yes that's what I thought. But I don't know why I m being on waitlist so far and that too without AAT. Applied Dec 17, nomination approved March 20.

Okay

 

i will recommend you to convince your employer to get help from any federal member 

might help 

Already raised the issue with Area Member Parliament but .... on top company is facing shortage of workers. Almost 3 more files for 187pending since mine in.

Is your case involved in sort of immigration investigation?? Seen few cases they have investigation about genuine job position 

Ok but won't status will change from Received to .... if under investigation

I m working with company since last 5 years renewing g contract third time this year. And PAYG and superannuation speaks for that. This year also got payrise as well

I think if u get s56 request u got a CO to ur file. Am I right?

Just now, Paul0015 said:

Is your application decision ready or you still waiting for s56 request 

Still waiting for s56 request I think.  Have to submit partner fees $5k approx for not being English speaking. I did asked my agent he says to wait till time I have CO appointed. S56 will only be issued once I get CO.

Does it matter if secondary applicant offshore ??

i added my wife in my visa application straight after AAT approved 

 

 

I think so but cannot say so as well. My family is offshore applicants while I m onshore.

Hi @WelderGuy5

I am following this blog for long time, I know your nomination was approved but why immigration is taking long time to give you visa? Is anyone with you in your application offshore? Could you please mention any information? 
Mine is in AAT since June 2019. Still waiting, don’t see any hope 

Hii Samio

Yes my wife n kids are overseas applicants while I m onshore.

Stay calm and don’t be worried guys … we all facinf same issues. no one can help us..

Did any one of us sent a email reminder to the department? just a normal reminder leter ? 

or 

Any one right a letter to Minister of home affairs?

or

Does any one put step into Global feedback unit  ? -

This is the organization which can get the results but still it might not help to get the visa…The only thing is sit tight and anytime you will get ask for docs like medical, PCC and payslip. Get ready these things so you can save time. 

And if someone is silent blogger I recommend them to showed up guys just share your experience so other can get hope … 

Had done all u mentioned above. And also sitting g tight holding in pants. Even  approach to  Member of Parliament didn't helped in past. All in all, keep holding. 

Now venturing in another strategy as advised by professionals will share once I m done. keep ears out. 

Golden email how far ya

Chinup guys

Will fly high.

Does anyone know what is going on with 187 visa process? People on the forum have been waiting for years now. Is there any way we can make a complain? Or has anyone done it before, any correspondence? 

Am afraid haven't heard anything. Everything seems to be freezed at the moment.

I am a mechanic patiently waiting to hear from AAT and working hard everyday for past eight years for my employer.

My nomination was refused in mid 2019 after two years of lodgement and no correspondence from AAT till now.

There is no way out of this other than waiting!!
 

Don't loose hope bro  silbrtm8. Mworking for for employer since 5 years. Currently Down with Covid and isolating. All family members overseas applicants and myself alone here. Very hard for me as well. But there's always light at the end of tunnel. Be optimistic and never ever allow negativity around urself. 

Hard work will definitely pay-off. ☺☺

Feeling sick at the moment

Very high fever but will get back soon.
