MoBari Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks Perthling. Anyway, I've created a spreadsheet and made it public so all of you can add/edit your cases there. I've also added another attribute of Processing centre on the sheet. Please access it here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GeiNuuhlfEXQM6FthTBiHei_3RIyGe1bbTfoqNhxheI/edit#gid=0 If you can't add/edit in the sheet then let me know. Cheers.

MoBari Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi binoyski, Seeing as they've asked for your employer's contact information, it makes me wonder if they've contacted your employer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binoyski10 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi binoyski, Seeing as they've asked for your employer's contact information, it makes me wonder if they've contacted your employer? Hi MoBari, I gave the Info the same day they requested it, then they informed me that they will only start to look back into it after 28 days. After the Immig account status change from "Request Info" to " Assessment in Progress" , there has bee no word so far, my direct manager has been waiting for the call for so long now. By The Way, If its some consolation to those waiting, I do believe that we will all get our grants, it's just a matter of time, because if there were any problems, you would have heard from them just from the beginning of the assessment.

MoBari Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi Binoyski10, Yeah, you're right, at least I hope, that we'll get our grants it's only a matter of time. It's just the waiting and not knowing what's going on is a horrid experience, is all. I have another question for you though, why would they ask for contact info, was it not on your work reference?

It was, but unfortunately, i used a desk phone and not included handphone, they must have tried calling, but my manager was always on travel.. he must have missed the call, i was wondering why they did not just send an e-mail since this can also served as a form of confirmation.

perthling Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 aww sorry about that. it might not be any consolation at all, but i've read of people waiting since applying in May of last year. I've actually resigned my self to think that I might be one of those undergoing external checks so it will probably take a few more months for me I also have plan B and C incase we don't get this PR grant for whatever reason. Helps me be less anxious. Life can't be put on hold for a visa, so I'm just gonna take it one day at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Williams Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 @adele244 I can't even imagine the frustration that you are going through, with the wait that they have put you through. It's driving me mad and it's only been a few months. I hope the wait for us all is over soon ? Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkwaiting Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 My application status in IMMIACCOUNT was " Application received" since april 2015 (The time i submitted application). Tried calling them, but my calls were disconnected somehow. I finally submitted a feedback form at their official website. They replied and said that they were sorry that they had not updated the status but my verification had been started in May2015 and are still going on. It was very frustrating as i didnt know who to contact. But i did receive their response. keeping my fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binoyski10 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hi Captain C, Has there been a case wherein they requested some documents, than status was changed to assessment in progress then they will ask for additional more docs. Based on the letter that was sent during their initial request, it stated that they will proceed with the processing after 28 days irregardless if you complied with the request or not. I am just worried that the application might go back to document request which will result in additional 28 more waiting days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per the flow diagram then it can go back and forth between 'Information Requested' and 'Assessment in progress' an infinite number of times until they have everything that they need. The 28 days is a guide and it may be shorter or longer than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adele244 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 When we called, the lady said our case would be looked at in 2 weeks.....that is tonight (not that I am counting or anything!!) So whats the bets we get our grants in the morning??? I say don't hold our breath. Will let you know if we were fobbed off or if she was being truthful. Fingers, toes crossed palms together we shall see! Good luck every one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoBari Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Hi @adele244, Sorry to hear that. I guess we all have to wait. I think we'd all appreciate a bit more transparency from DIBP, as to why it's been taking so long. And unfortunately, the longer they make us wait the shorter time we get to initiate the visa, once we get it. Oh well, let's hope for the best.

gauravbabs Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Is there a turn around time post employment verification within which the case goes forward. As per my agent, its usually 3 weeks post verification that DIBP responds. I filed sub-class 189 visa through agent on 14th July. CO requested additional documents (Form 80 and bank statement) on 10th sept 15 and were submitted by agent on 6th Oct 15. The verification was carried out via mail to HR. This mail was shared with my manager for input since he had provided reference. I have worked with only one company for over 9 years and have claimed maximum points for employment. I tried searching on the forum but was unable to find any details. Would appreciate input on the query. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukescotty Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Does anyone reckon, by posting who their case officer is would help determine the length of time for visa approval / communication? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
