War186

Hi, yes it went straight from received to finalised...

Thanks, both the nomination and visa were approved on the same day!

Hi All, I have received my golden email this morning. My medicals had expired but I was not asked to submit again. 186 DE Visa Applicant: 1 Onshore VIC Occupation: Management Accountant Nomination & Visa submitted: 18 June 2020 Granted - 19 March 2021 Good luck everyone.... hopefully you hear good news soon!

Hello everyone, I have been a silent reader and responses here have helped me a lot in understanding the immigration process. I just wanted to share my experience regarding my application for 186 DE visa and recent dealings with DHA over the phone. I had applied for the visa and nomination on 18th June 2020 through a registered MA and had been quitely waiting for an update from the immigration since then. However, I had to contact the immigration department in February, which was after the end of the estimated processing time to seek assistance if there was a way I could escalate or fast track the outcome of my visa application. This was because I had to urgently visit back home to see my grandmother who was in critical condition and was on her death bed. I called immigration and tried explaning them my situation as my family needed me back home in this difficult time. Immigration contact person simply responded by saying "We cannot help you as 90% of the applications get processed within estimated timeframe. You may belong to the remaining 10% category". Based on the previous posts here, I was aware I could not go home without the visa grant as it may not be processed at all if I travel offshore on bridging visa and my whole career depended on this. Ultimately, a few days later I was told that my grandmother had passed away with her last wish to see me not fulfilled. I am not even sure if her soul has found peace or not. Such ambiguous and uncertain visa process has not only stressed me out but given me mental and emotional scars which may stay with for a long time if not for the rest of my life. I am not aware of your stories and I cannot imagine what you all may be going through, but I wanted to wish you all the strength and I hope things get better for everyone in similar situations soon. May god bless us all!
