July6th Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Did you try to find out if your case is co assigned? Nope don't want to bother immi. It is not because I call them that they will look at my case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad714 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Nope don't want to bother immi. It is not because I call them that they will look at my case. I concur with your opinion. Just wondering did your employer sponsor anyone else before? As far as i am concerned, all my teammates got their grants within 4 months. The most recent one lodged nomination/application end of June and got it mid Nov. I am reaching 6 months tomorrow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes my employer did but that was not in 2015. We are all on the same boat, all waiting and for everyone it is longer than it was before. They have not approved many July applications so we should not be worried just be patient. The worth idea ever was just to apply in July as so many applicants applied in May/June and immi is still processing some end of Jun visas as well as beginning of July.

Yes U're right but it's pretty frustrating!! When we lodged the application we had no idea that it could take that long. Even our MA said we should get it in 3 months or so. Does anyone know when they changed the processing times? Its was 4-6 months before right? Then 6, and now 6-8?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing, only waiting. We can literally do one thing (after PR grant) - feedback. Like in your case, it has already exceeded 6 months while they allege service std to be 6 months. They are lack of supervision that's what i felt. https://www.border.gov.au/about/contact/provide-feedback/compliments-complaints-suggestions/visa-citizenship-service https://forms.business.gov.au/smartforms/servlet/SmartForm.html?formCode=oco-complaint-form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

July9 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I found some information could be obsolete. to everyone who is experience all of this, FYI. Yes, I agree than anyone who does not receive contact after 6 months should put in a formal complaint. Someone needs to make sure they are being held accountable for the documentation that they have provided. The Commonwealth Ombudsman seem like its for more serious issues, like detention centres, human rights violations, etc. Anyways, it appears that July6th applied for visa on July 17 (nomation on July 6). Therefore, the 6 months will not technically be up until the 17th, correct? Do immigration consider the nomination date or visa application date when implementing their service standards?

Do immigration consider the nomination date or visa application date when implementing their service standards? i saw cases where Commonwealth Ombudsman investigated "Complaint about delay in the processing of an application for a bridging visa" and I've read thru the investigation report very subjective and verbose. It could be served as a escalation when DIBP complaint handling doesn't work well. If nomination and application are close e.g. less then 2 weeks, they will generally be looked at together. Otherwise, nomination should be approved or further info requested first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
