Hi @Sam2000, didn’t know when the nomination was approved as only my MA has full access to my application.

Health Clearance: 29-Jan-2020
Visa App FINALISED: 13-Feb-2020

I’m one of those “I just checked this morning and it was still Received”! It is true that it didn’t need to undergo all those statuses. From Received to Finalised real quick! Can’t contain mg happiness right now. I hope everyone gets theirs too soon!

I just received a great news today! Our application has just been granted! I’m shaking now as I’m typing this message. Keep the faith!

Thanks for your answer. 

Does it mean i lost the money about the visa (186) and i need to start everything again?

Better to withdrawal the application?

Yes and yes.

Withdrawal of the application is, I think, the best option now. Also, the result of your current application may possibly affect future applications. Again, you should consult your lawyer. Ask him about all legal options. All the best!

Hello everyone, i'm reading all of you everyday waiting for my PR but today is not with happiness i m writing to all of you.

I need your help and your advice.

I've been working really hard as a chef for the last 3 years for a company who shut down very recently. Never a sick day, never late, anyway

I'am or I was with them on the 457 before april 2017.

I applied for my 186 Transition pathway the 1 November 2019 and waiting for a decision.

My question is : 

Do my bridging visa A from PR is kicking in because they stop/cancel my 457 (close the business)? And i have the right to work everywhere

Or do i have to transfer my sponsorship? but in this way do i have to reapply for my PR as the nominated business will not be the same.

I'm completely lost and very confuse. Scared to call the immigration as well, don't know what to do....

If anyone went through the same situation could you please answer.

My lawyer is telling me to transfer my sponsor and i got 60 days to do so but need to pay again and find one of course.

Any advice during this hard time is very appreciated. So close.... 

As your former company is the one who has nominated you for visa 186, there is no way CO will not be able to know that the company has closed already. One of the requirements for the nomination is for the company to prove their stability and income but in your case, the company has closed totally. I’m afraid your chance for 186 is very low due to the said closure and that the nomination will be rejected in the first place. Listen to your lawyer. He knows better. I agree that your visa needs to be transferred to any company who is willing to hire you or to nominate you for visa 186.

Based on the latest comments here, the trend suggests that they’re addressing those applications lodged in Sep-Oct 2019. Seems like it.

Thanks @Swoop! MA asked for health assessment to be sent immediately.

BTW, I have a question. Why do others do not provide Heath Assessment result right after submitting the application? I was requested by my MA to have the health assessment as soon as he submitted my application. Is it something that is requested by CO or does it really come after app submission? Just curious.

This waiting game is killing me hope to hear good news tomorrow! Good luck to us!

Question: If I don’t have full access to my application (since I only linked my application to my immiaccount and MA has access to it), HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN THE NOMINATION HAS BEEN APPROVED? Can I see it via my immiaccount where my app is linked? Will there be any messages? TIA!

PS MA receives the comms, emails.

Any good news today? 

Does anyone know until what time do COs work on weekdays?  Just want to set my mind to calm my nerves on waiting

Have they provided a time frame for the maintenance? I googled it but didn't find anything.

It’s supposed to be until 3pm today. But just checked it and it’s back now.

There’s a scheduled maintenance on immiaccount right now. Hope to hear good news as soon as it’s back online.

Hi all, my MA is soon going to lodge nomination and visa application for 186DE. I am on 482 visa and we are expecting baby in May 2020. In case our PR is approved after baby's birth then what will be his/her visa status?

Hi @NickB89 if you get your PR finalised before May2020 (or at the time of labor), your baby should get au citizen status. However, if your application is still in progress by then, FAMILY should still be under 482 — or bridging visa if your 482 expires before PR is finalised.

Hope that CO doesn’t ask for a new medical exam as pregnant women are not allowed to have X RAY nor excused to undergo one. If this happens, you will have to wait until baby is out and the risk of not being able to submit the medical result within a given ‘strict’ period is high.
