siebzzehn Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Awesome news and congrats! Looks like we're sitting in the same boat [emoji51] fingers crossed for getting the visa on Monday Btw, do you know if we have to upload the nomination approval letter to our immi account now? Yes, Monday is looking good! No, you don't need to do anything with the nomination letter. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wombat84 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Congrats with those on the nomination approval! I'm still waiting. Did you guys get a notification from Immigration that the nomination had been approved, or has your sponsoring company just passed the message on to you? My boss does check his emails very frequently and would let me know asap if he heard anything...but he doesn't check as often as I am right now!

MaggieMay24 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 DIBP only communicates with the approved person from the nomination, which would normally be the employer. Hopefully your boss will check his email frequently enough to let you know once he hears the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachielleLauren Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 @RachielleLauren. Thanks for your reply. I understand that it's different with every one. As I have same issue as you have. I do not want to enroll in for next term. My next term will start from Mid of March. I am little bit worry about the delay in process. But, Many people got their approval in last couple of days. Hope all backlogs clear very fast..... Best of luck. Thanks once again Goodluck to you as well. My term ends this February and the next one is mid of March as well. That is why I'm really pressuring my MA to follow up with Immi. The hard part is my agent is based in NZ so 3 hour time difference here in Australia.

RachielleLauren Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Looks like my nomination is currently being looked at by immi. My MA contacted me today asking me and my employer to sign a declaration. Seems like immi has increasing concerns about employees paying to get sponsorship. Btw, mine was lodged last December.

mrpuvpce Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 @RachielleLauren.... Do you mean employment contract ? My employer already signed employment contract and submitted to immi account. Is there any other declaration ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 @RachielleLauren.... Do you mean employment contract ? My employer already signed employment contract and submitted to immi account. Is there any other declaration ? Thanks. I think she's referring to a declaration that's now part of the nomination application (perhaps it wasn't included when her nomination was submitted). The declaration now included says "Do you certify that neither you, nor anyone associated with you or your business, has requested, received, or been promised any payment or other benefit in return for your agreement to nominate any person named on this nomination application". As Rachielle said, DIBP is cracking down on situations where employers request payment from the applicant in exchange for the nomination.

Good luck for you to get some good news soon! Until then you're not alone jumping at every incoming email, same here -.- Thats good to hear, we had everything lodged by our MA together, sponsor,nomination and visa application, I do know that they did submit evidence of training expenditure too!

Ligia Cristina Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi, If in Australia on a 457 and the current employer decides to end employment, you have 90 days to start work again or 90 days to find a new sponsor? Current case: last day of employment 04.01.11, found new sponsor on 05.01.16, sponsor lodge nomination on 06.01.16, current timelines for nomination as per migration agent: more than 8 weeks. No news from the department yet. Please advise. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
