Hi, Could you please let me know,

01. Will my MA get notification when I import the application into my immi account?

02. If CO requested more details, Do my self and MA both get the notification email?

Thanks.

Hey 

1.your MA won't get any notification if you import application. Don't make any changes that is when ur MA will come to know.

2. The email would be send only to MA/email given to immigration for communication purpose.(so on ideal case it would be only ur MA).

Hello, my MA just told me that once you have bridging visa active, you don’t need private insurance and you can have only medicare.

Then that would be the way to go I guess.

Hi guys,

my 457 have expired, so currently I’m on bridging visa for 186.

do I have to keep paying the private insurance?

 

i already have medicare

thank you

I guess it would be better to keep the insurance so not to breach visa conditions, ideally during bridging all the visa condition of previous visa is still applicable. I am not aware of any exception not to have insurance when medicare is there during bridging.

Hi, Can anyone help me with this (Re: 186 DE)?

My national ID (including DL, Tax ID/PAN card) does not have a surname whilst passport, matriculation certificate, all other Australian documents have a surname. I am waiting to hear back from my MA.

The immi website states

My question is can I get away with providing passport, my matriculation certificate (with the surname) and a marriage certificate (which also includes surname)?

If not, what are my options as I cannot update names cause I cannot travel to the home country and names can only be changed in person.

Not sure if the secondary national id is mandatory or not, but you can do below just in case:

1. There would be a section in application which asks the applicant known by any other name, you can fill in there. It is not mandatory to give name change certificate, but you would have to do below.

2. Make a statutory declaration saying both names belong to same person and get it certified by JP along with supporting documents.

The above are suggestions, follow what MA says coz they are the experts.

Not sure, check ur medical section under visa application, if it says medical examination required you can get a hap id, but if that is not the case not sure if you can an hap id by the way we used to get before covid. Would be a good idea to check with your MA as well, since they are the experts.

Hi,

Does the application (186 TRT) stay in 'Received' status until it is finalised? Are there any other statuses? Is it possible to know if the case officer is allocated to my application?

 

There are other statuses as well, like Initial assessment, further assessment and I guess one more not sure what was it.(i guess finalised)

There is no way to know if a CO is allocated or not unless there is a request for further document is done or status change.

But hey, how about the good news, So much application goes straight to finalized from received status. So worry not Hang in there will come soon .fingers crossed

Hi @devProgrammer

My medical is going to expire on 16th September, Is it possible to do new medical proactively and uploaded new medical before it expire?

if yes, then my question is can I do a medical on existing HAP-ID? What procedure you adopted for doing medical again?

 

Appreciated you reply?

That is a difficult question, I guess you won't be able to do medical again in same hap id(not 100% sure on this), given current situation I guess you can only present for medical once CO requests for it(not sure if this has changed recent days/weeks). 

On other note I wouldn't do medical again until CO requests it again, mainly because the processing has been going slow these days, so there is a chance CO might understand your medical would have  been valid in normal processing times as well they might need not overwhelm medical system again unless there is a genius reason for retest. Another one is the expense for sure...so I would suggest let us wait and see, you can check with your MA as well.

Hi @devProgrammer, my MA told me that if I import the application into my immi account, they will lose control to view and update information (186 DE application)

A friend from a different company informed the same regarding their MA. 

As you mentioned this is not the case, I wonder if there is some other reason why they say this. Maybe just to avoid us accidentally messing up the application

If you import (I guess there is a view option while importing but not sure), any ways MA wouldn't loose control, they would still have it. Might be your MA is worried people might mess up with application which can have adverse affect as a result. I would say you are safe to import as long as you don't change anything in there or click anywhere where you don't understand what that button or link means.

I have imported all of my visa applications as well as Pr application from early days of lodgment. And to note your MA wouldn't know if you have imported or not as long as you don't make any changes.

Your Mara was right. TRT does not need skill assessment. Only DE does.

@devProgrammer you are still f..king high mate 

Missed 'not' in statement.

Are you sure? My MA said it is not required!

Apologies typo I missed 'not'

Thank you for the response.

I did not do skill assessment as it is not mandatory. Is it required?

Yes, 482 visa also applied with same occupation.

While booking for 482 visa medicals, there was an option to do complete medicals if I am intended to apply for PR in the next 12 months. So I did medicals which includes HIV and blood tests. Medicals status is clear.

If it is TRT, you might need it .

Thanks Mate that is really helpful, much appreciated. Any Idea about processing time these day. I applied in November 2019 and nomination is approved in march 2020  after that just waiting. I applied 186 trt.  

What is your occupation ?

11 minutes ago, Kewalch said:

Yes this is what I was asking for. Thanks mate

@Kewalch get the TRN number, this should be there is some or other application you would have reviewed/signed/filled for visa application. I guess you might find on ur bridging letter as well, not sure on that though. Once you get it, follow steps to import ur application in to your immi account.

And don't make any changes , it is as good as how your would see and make changes. Even you can see immigration correspondent email in messages section and much more details all around.

This is like a shared google doc or drive. Only diff is you can take control of it anytime you need if needed informing immigration about same. On other hand it is similar to like you give authority to a tax agent on behalf of you.

Did the CO request or you just proactively renewed and submitted it? At the moment, it is really difficult to get an oversea PCC.

I had done proactively, yeah I second that, normally a overseas pcc which takes a week took 3-4 week for me to get it.

@devProgrammer Thank you for your comment. I'm not sure how to reply properly just yet so apologies if this doesn't come to you directly. I'm not too sure how i ended up posting again either so sorry about the duplication!  

It's ok, thought you have quoted again since no one replied earlier, was just putting my suggestion

2 hours ago, sonhcnet said:

My PCC will expire in 2 months. Do you think I should renew it as the CO may request? 

Depends on country of issue as well, use your instinct along with current processing time for pcc for the specific country considering any Covid delays as well.

Renewing is just a suggestion if you are ok parting with smaller amount so as to avoid RFI for just pcc, it is not mandatory CO would ask for a new one every case.

I have got mine updated a week before it got expired which was actually last month

9 minutes ago, IWannaGooo said:

 

I guess we can't say for sure, as some one earlier mentioned if CO changes after providing docs, there is slight chance, though fingers crossed.

Guys would be good idea to keep docs updated if expired, especially police clearance certificates.can avoid RFI related to same, I had done the same.

Good news, got my grant just now. Nomination and visa approved same time... All the way to finalised from Received status.

Hang in there guys your too would come soon.Thanks for all the support.

How about company with revenue > $1B? That is how the sponsors are classified. How about your company?

Yes that is where my company fits in.... But I guess accredited sponsorship has less effect on 186 applications. It is mainly for 482 visa, to fast track those visa, Mine has come in couple of days when I had applied.

I guess my application got lost in the pile.

11 hours ago, sonhcnet said:

It should be "accredited BIG sponsor". There are about 3000 accredited sponsors, and they are not at the same level. I suspect top 10% will be processed first.

Never heard of accredited BIG sponsor. I guess even if there is something like that I am pretty much sure my employer would come in that category.

Yes. It is a accredited sponsor

I guess it doesn't matter... Mine is accredited sponsor still file not picked up 7 months and counting.

Nice one mate.... Looks like...visa processing is happening for nominations which is approved earlier... Haven't seen a nomination approval these days
