I was on a 457 visa and applied through the direct entry stream. 05/02/14- Nomination lodged by employer 01/04/14- Nomination approval 14/06/14- Visa lodged without MA, received by parramatta office 18/06/14- Medicals done 18/08/14- Visa granted at 6 pm.. haven't heard from CO until the approval and was processed at WA office hope this helps... good luck to those who are still waiting! it is worth the wait. Congrats! May I ask which state do you live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sucxx Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Guys, I lodged my ENS Mid July - Temporary stream. My agent is confident it should be fine. However, I have question. Does it makes a difference if you get promoted to higher position (than your actual 457 nominated position). For example if your are working as Network support and your are promoted to Network support Team Leader. Just a title is different, job description is very similar. I will appreciate your reply. Thanks. In my understanding, it shouldn't be a problem as long as still falls down to your nominated ANZSCO position description. In other word, if you can pass the skill assessment under the same category still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a problem for my partner-same ward for 3 years but got promoted from nurse to nurse manager.rejected under transition,had to apply under direct entry and do skills assessment as not in role 2 years(as manager).

nurrish Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) My agent lodged my Nomination and Visa 186 ENS application on 12th August. All documents including medicals/police checks already undertaken and submitted along with the lodgement. Now....seeing as everything has been lodged together with hopefully no more information/documents needed, is there a chance it will progress quicker. I appreciate the backlog of applications there currently is, but just wondering if this will have an effect on the overall process and how quick it is progressed. Also im a single British male currently on a 457. Edited August 19, 2014 by nurrish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie123 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hi Guys, We submitted everything, nomination & application with all required medicals and police checks etc. on 02/07/14. We have not had any word so far. Does anybody know if this speeds up the process at all? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricominero Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 We have lodged the nomination and visa application last July 28. Submitted all the requirements including PPC and Medicals. I'm just waiting for my MA to update me about the nomination & application. Looking at this forum, most likely it will take a few months to be approved. I just have to wait and be patient.

stevevw975 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hi heyitsme, well i guess yeah looking at other cases on here, but saying that i dont have any proof except for when i look at my actual application on my immi account and it states there nomination approved, strange, did anyone get an actual nomination approval letter/ email? we've had zero contact with our case officer only a note added to our application requesting medicals, then an update stating no further information required about 3 days after the medicals, tbh i dont even know if we have a case officer, btw i did our application myself, a family of 4 with a step child so i guess not a straightforward case just hope i did it right :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be doable at the beginning of immiaccount and I do have my 457 nomination in my account as well but not since DIBP comes with different account 'types'.

Very quick approval! I'd say if you've been asked to get medicals you definitely have a case officer, shouldn't be to long waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
