Raj1985 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Almost one year now :-( no news Hi, Is it your file open ? What's your occupation ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess6 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 sounds reasonable, not sure they have to reach the kpi at the end of natural year or financial year, anyway there is hope for all of us june.BTW have u got any info about impact by xmas? plus kids are going to off school recently, it is best time to have a trip with family, so any thoughts? I haven't got any feedback on this but I would assume there would be a logical slow down as this is indeed a vacation time in Oz. From my experience, the Australian administration is very efficient so I cannot imagine it would last more than the X-Mas period. One question: Has anybody heard about outsourcing? An acquaintance told me that outsourcing was used to process applications. I have no idea if it is true but it could explain the PR approvals over the weekend. Again, I did not get any official confirmation on this. One other thing I wonder, especially when I see people waiting 8 months or more: is it possible to physically go to the department of immigration? It just blows my mind that nobody answers questions from people who have been waiting for so long. This is something that actually really freaks me out... Having to wait more than 6/8 months without any feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianSurfer Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 So I have some terrible news this morning. My nomination has been refused. We did not meet the training benchmark requirements. We were working with our agent and provided one of our many training receipts which was for an annual conference we held. This conference was for all our employees plus other attendees (open to the public). We were not informed by the agent that the training requirements must be solely for the company employees. We have tens of thousands of dollars worth of training which directly relate to our employees, however, immigration did not give us a chance to submit more documents. They went straight to refusal. If we had the chance to upload these documents, there would not have been an issue at all. We are exploring our options and will try to call immigration to see if they are willing to accept further documents, however, I believe we will have to file for a merit review or apply for a different visa. The merit review costs another couple thousand and takes more than a year to reach a decision. You want my advice, make sure your application is done perfect, and air tight. They don't accept any errors...and more importantly, don't give you a chance to rectify any errors if you have any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very bad news for you mate So what I know from my MA If training benchmarks didn't paid according to requirements IMMI would give.you to chance fulfill before they refuse. I really shocked when I saw your post. Did you get your refusal letter ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have basically had the same request of information as you. This is a big worry! I really feel for you.... it might be easier to just reapply instead of going through the merit review...

CanadianSurfer Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Yes we got the refusal letter last night but we are going to try to call immi to see if they can do anything. We have all the documents they need but it might be too late. I will probably choose to go for a partner visa instead of going through this whole process over again. We will see... It's very bad news for you mate So what I know from my MA If training benchmarks didn't paid according to requirements IMMI would give.you to chance fulfill before they refuse.
