Hi guys, AAT finally open my file on 14th Feb after nearly 5 months. I got call from AAT this morning but agent didn't tell me anything before and hearing schedule on 27th March for both visa and Nomination.  Also, AAt requested 2 more business financial documents. Agent saying we might not need to attend it if they satisfy. All documents submitted today Any suggestions how long they will take to review them .Thanks 

 

Hi guys, any updates from AAT.??

 

Seems like it shut down permanently. 

 

 

Thanks mate

I gave exam in 2017 . Already expired long time ago. Let's see. .And the place where I live thousands km away from main city. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi guys, do u think that they might ask english score again if everything go positive...

 

Hi, I am also waiting , documents submitted end of September. A cook in WA. No reply yet. Also, send an email 10 days ago. Saying just wait.  Very lazy and slow department and their process. No  deadlines,  no system. They are strict in time of submission but they don't respect others valuable time. Very frustrating.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi guys, Any updates from AAT?? Submitted documents in sep, been 4 months no reply yet. Getting so frustrating and tired. Is anyone got any updates regarding their case. Pls share.

Hey guys……

I am pleased to announce that i got my golden email from Home Affair yesterday aftter 5 years. Below is my timeline

06/2017: visa and nomination lodged 187 DE for Cafe/Restaurant Manager in WA

01/2019: nomination refused with bloody reason: the business didnt have genuine reason to hire full time manager and then visa application refused.

02/2019: AAT review submitted.

02/2022: AAT requested to provide supporting document

06/2022: AAT set aside re Nomination, visa application remitted to Home Affair. 
2 days later: S56 from Home Affair to provide police clearance and health check

07/2022: police clearances submitted. Health assessment completed

08/08/2022: visa grant……

It was such a lengthy and stressful period that it affected to my mental health and almost gave up end of the day for many reasons as many here might be in the similar situation: family, covid pandemic, the ridiculous reason that Home Affair refused our case and so on. 
 

However, every cloud has silver ligning. I did have countless support from family, local community and you guys here who had given hopes and empathy. I am thankful for those who have shared their cases and advice. 
 

Below is some tips from me:

- If you are still waiting so your case will be opened by AAT, please follow the statistics from their website which for me gives you the estimated waiting time. You might also check the updates from people here with their timeline. I believe it is helpful to give you an idea where your case is. Therefore it does get yourself well-prepared, saying police clearances, passport (if that expired or about to). For example in November 2021, i had kept following this forum and AAT website and acknowledged that i might have to wait roundabout 30 something months. Considering during the pandemic everything does take time, in January i did apply for passport renewal ( as it would be expired soon) and police clearances both AFP clearance and oversea one. I also asked the accountant of our business to get our financial records updated such as BAS, income tax returns, payroll reports… i mean as much as possible with regard to the operation of our business. If you follow this website, you definitely can have some ideas what sort of documents that AAT might require base on the refusal. In my case, they asked: Business registration and history from ASIC, updated Quarterly BAS for September, December quarters, financial reports for 2020 and 2021, organisational structure, my job description/duties, updated employment contract, the prove of regional body certicate, prove of job advertising back in 2017 when i applied to job and 2 more minor things. When we received this letter from AAT to request documents, we had already got almost everything!!!!

- Health check appointment does take time. When we received the S56 for health check, we tried to book the appointment but it took us 1 month. Not many appointments were available and again Covid sucks! With this point, i mean that you might try to save your health check appointment as soon as you could. I wasnt sure if you could do the health assessment before S56 sent out considering It is valid 12 months. Again, i am unsure. 
 

- immi account: This is highly recommended. As visa applicant, we can create our immi account eventhough our visa application is lodged by agent. You then can import the application and track it. From there you can see the status, updates, messages and attachments. You can also see what documents you or the agent has uploaded. At this point, after the health check cleared, what we found was my partner’s oversea police clearance was missing which we thought it should’ve been in before ( as we provided everything when s56 was issued). I then contacted to my agent and he did attached it again, so not sure if he forgot or due to some technical issues. Anyway my point is immi account gave me the access to see how my case was and check if the requested documents have been submitted.

- last but not least, as many say, live your life, stay positive. I know said is easier than done especially for us who (used to) desperately wait for our golden day. You still have your family, your work colleagues, your community who are always with you. If you find it difficult to express your feelings while you hopelessly wait, then reach out councillors, specialists. I am sure they are willing to help you out. 
 

I guess that’s all…. I am glad i knew this forum and incredibly thankful for the people who keep this topic live. I do wish you all the best and surely i wish to see your posts telling the rest of this forum your good news.

God Bless!
