Hi everyone,

Anyone waiting for 186DE as a CHEF or any updates from CO in this occupation.!

I'm waiting since January 2021.

 

I’m waiting nearly 15 months as a Chef DE, not had any contact or update. Still received onshore and regional 

Oh so are you also in Victoria? 
You in the City? 
I’m Regional, which I thought would help but it hasn’t at all. 

it’s such a disorganized system! 
It’s so bad that they can make us wait this long.

Hi

I think for DE -15 months is too long, coz many of the recent approvals are quick or with in time frame . 
I am on TRT 23 months waiting. Have given feedback to dept and got the same reply as you got. 
really don’t know what step to take. Asked my agent he says some case take long. He don’t know the reason. Had a hope that before this financial year something will happen . Now that also end. 
 

I never imagined it would take this long! 
I’m  questioning everything now.

is it the business? Is it my visa application? Is it because I’m in victoria? 
is it my occupation? (Chef).

I don’t know what to do either! It’s so depressing 

I see many people make a complain and got a direct grant. Iv complained twice and got nothing  

Hi everyone  

Has anyone been waiting for DE 15 months or longer? 
I get that waiting times are long, but I feel this is exceptionally long for Direct Entry.

also nomination has not been approved yet.

I have made 2 complaints which was passed on to the Relevant Business Area.

I haven’t heard anything since!

no requests for further documents since the day I lodged!
