UE186 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi Mate, It's not a hoax. I just had this confirmed with my Immi agent. She also says its true and is noticing clients who lodged their application in Novemeber/December already getting approved. If you look at the spreadsheet you will find a few luck ones who have had their visas granted in 40 days (approx). But this is not the case for everyone who applied after the 22nd of November as the Immi Dept only has a small team working on these applications to test out the system. I lodged mine in October. (Im)patiently waiting... Have they start to process October applicants? I will go oversea in mid Feb, hope I can have some good news (at least assigned a CO) before I go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longy1012 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) we receive request information request again today about nomination (still training material) because our CO has changed after christmas, which prove the above new rule. So annoying and really bad luck!!! Edited January 21, 2015 by longy1012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest harry007 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Have they start to process October applicants?I will go oversea in mid Feb, hope I can have some good news (at least assigned a CO) before I go I guess in 2 to 3 weeks. They will start the Oct applications. I also want to go overseas but waiting for the approval . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vihaan Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Argh, mine was lodged on the 21st November. Talk about unlucky! Mine was also lodged on 21 niv. Nomination already approved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csi Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Mine was also lodged on 21 niv. Nomination already approved Hi Vihaan, you mean your nomination was lodged on 21st above and its approved...that's fast, congrats!! Mine was lodged on 20th and it seems there is a long way to go. Good luck for the application, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronSmith Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Mine was also lodged on 21 niv. Nomination already approved Ye your nom app was submitted 14/08/2014 whereas mine is 19/11/2014. However, I don't think the nomination will change the fact that we are both now at the very back of the queue. If they're progressing new apps from the 22nd Nov as well as the usual apps we're the unluckiest of them all.

Sambhav Kapur Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Have they start to process October applicants?I will go oversea in mid Feb, hope I can have some good news (at least assigned a CO) before I go Hey mate, They have started September. OCTOBER is probably couple of all away. What via are you currently on? If your on a bridging via then you are not allowed to leave the country. If you do, they won't let you back in until a decision has been made on your application. You can try to apply for a brooding visa b which week allow you to leave but you need to have an extremely good reason for them to grant you that via.

ByronSmith Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Question, do you think it'll be a good idea to add a ENS/RSMS column to the spreadsheet (http://bit.ly/1Gfs4qI)? At the moment I _think_ it's only ENS 186 people but I wonder if it's worth knowing if there are RSMS 187 people in there too? I know the processing time for each is 6 months but is there an order of preference between the two? Or perhaps they should have their own sheet?

Pt123 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I got this message from my MA yesterday arvo.. We received notification from the Department that they are now only allocating files for the Subclass 186 and 187 visa lodged from September 2014. They are behind in processing as they made significant changes to their processing procedures and IT Systems towards the end of last year.

Hi Sambhav, I'm currently holding 457 which has 4 years validity. It's no problem to go oversea. Thanks for reminding anyway:laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Byron this thread is related to 186 applications - in my opinion it would confuse people to have 187 on there too - overload of info they should make their own and I understand RSMS get priority over ENS.

I know the processing time for each is 6 months but is there an order of preference between the two? Or perhaps they should have their own sheet? The processing times for the ENS and RSMS are the same. However RSMS is higher on the priority list of processing. RSMS comes first followed by ENS and then the rest are below. I havent seen many RSMS applicants on here but it would hurt to add them in with a column indicating RSMS or ENS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
