mellymoo Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I feel you. I've lodged my visa application on 27th June, no news yet. Recently there seems to be a trend of a 5 months wait with visas lodged around 16th June. I am hoping that is the case for mine as well- hopefully I get my visa granted as it reaches the 5 months mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you heard nothing since your application went in in June? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellymoo Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi mate, did you apply using an MA? Have you heard nothing since your application went in in June? Yes I applied using an MA. Sponsorship and nomination was done on 17 April, further info requested 10 June, sponsorship and nomination was then approved 26 August. Visa lodged 27 June, no news from them, unless you count that email they sent after my MA sent countless emails to them asking them to hurry up. Guy from immigration office replied last week saying my MA's email has been referred to him for a response. He stated in the email that he had already sent the application to the relevant department in their national office, and that it can take 7 to 8 weeks or more for processing. Thing is, I don't know if it was 7-8 weeks from last week, or 7-8 weeks from when he sent the application to the relevant department. It almost seemed like he had already transferred my application to the relevant department earlier but then he was told to reply to my MA's email after that because my MA kept sending emails (because we didn't get any replies). Does anyone else get annoyed by the fact that it's a Friday again tomorrow? UGH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garym85 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Can anyone advise me on times and next steps etc... PwC are handling my 457 through my employer. I have submitted all requested docs to them. My other half is also going on my application. It was submitted last week- I've heard a wide variation of times. Going to NSW. Also, will they definitely request medicals etc? I've heard some don't get asked for it at all! Coming from UK and the only thing I had to do was prove we had private healthcare to cover us on arrival.

RileyAFC Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Hi all, Never posted here before but have been following the thread and have found it really helpful in estimating timelines etc. Had my visa approved today after what seemed like a lifetime waiting. Nomination and visa applied for on 31st July RFI was requested, unsure of exact date, roughly around mid September, was sent over within a few days Literally heard nothing until the nomination was approved on 20th November Visa approved 25th November Applied onshore, LR country Just thought I would share my timeline as I see a few of you have been waiting a while and hopefully this will give you some hope. If I had any tips it would be to make sure all documents are uploaded at the earliest possible point. Upload literally anything you may think may be of use, no matter how insignificant you think it may be. Be nice and polite when communicating with immigration, they have a heck of a job to do so I'm sure they appreciate it when they receive nicely worded emails! Finally, stay positive, no matter how stressful waiting can get, try to keep a positive mind as stressing out and over thinking things is the worse thing you can do! Good luck to you all!

Thanks for sharing. Yeah I agree about the positivity. Does not help being negative about things outside our control, so I'm trying to practise that, albeit difficult sometimes haha.
