neverwinter Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Congratulations neverwinter - fantastic news and its a DE approval! What is your occupation? I had a look on the shared spreadsheet and I noticed that the May 2016 worksheet has been deleted! I'm sure someone knows how to recover this but unfortunately I don't!

jess6 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Onshore partner visas take 12-15 months and unless you have evidence of a relationship for at least 3 years before applying (or 2 years with a child), then you get a transitional visa before you are assessed for a PR visa. So a 186 is typically a quicker and much less expensive option. Exactly, I have been in a De Facto relationship with my Australian partner for 4 years ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jess6 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hi Jess6 & LeeThompson, Apologies for the slow reply. I hope it works out for you both. The reason I asked is that I'm not too far away from going on to bridging visa a myself. I worked for a company for 1.5years and then the business sold (ABN changed) and although I do the same job in the same place because the ABN changed the 2 year transition clock was reset. I chose to go the DE route (with 9 months left on my 457) as I felt it was quicker although I could have waited to complete the 2 year transition with the new abn and submitted an PR application under the transition route in November/December 2016. I hoping that the decision to make a DE application doesn't turn out to be a decision that I regret later. As per your reply I know there are travel issues associated with bridging visa A and that if an application is rejected then you have a stay of 28 days in Australia before you have to leave but what I am not sure about is what the general options are to apply for temporary/permanent residency assuming your occupation is CSOL listed. Has anyone looked in to these options? @Richo Sorry I am not sure to understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess6 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hi @Zee14042016, I can empathise. Started this journey hopeful and excited, despite a few shut doors to other PR paths that never materialised. After such a long journey fraught with misses and unrealised plans, thought that perhaps the last lap would be smooth sailing given all early advice. Now feel sad, anxious and weary. @Gary1985, it's odd that there are still a number of pending cases (here and on the spreadsheet) from late 2015 to early 2016. It seems the delays have impacted us the most, particularly those up to April 2016. More recent months seem to be experiencing quicker resolution (on average). Hope you get your PR this week - well overdue! @jess6, @Richo and @leethompson, our 457 is expiring soon enough too. Good luck to us all. I will keep you guys posted too - hope it is soon for all of us, though personally, I am trying to condition my mind to not expecting anything until mid-FEB (hopefully by/before then??). So sad. PS. Congrats to all the new PRs - enjoy! @Izzielizzie I am sure things will accelerate now Now for the applications for late 2015, it could also be people not updating the spreadsheet.

Syed Jameel Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hi guys i was a silent follower of this forum, my time line is 03 march 2016 for nomination and on 20th January 2017 received a refusal notification. in between they asked for supporting documents which I did provided them the reason for refusal is the net profit of the sponsored company is low.

dunc Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Folks.. someone deleted 'May2016' spreadsheet. Is there a way to retrieve it? I've pasted the values in from the latest revision I could find, might need some tidying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzielizzie Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Hi @jess6, what makes you think they'll accelerate now? Because the holidays are generally over? We had a few late 2015 ones that were active so it's a bit odd if they didn't update but who knows hey? Hope your prediction's right. Think I've used up all my IMMI-optimism right now. Has anyone here tried the skillselect path? Is it worthwhile if occupation is only on the CSOL (and not on any current state list as far as I know?)?? @Izzielizzie I am sure things will accelerate now Now for the applications for late 2015, it could also be people not updating the spreadsheet.

Izzielizzie Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hi, so sorry to hear that! There might be a forum here regarding appeals? Maybe look at that too. I guess weigh your options with regards to timeline and investment? I hope it works out in the end.

It looks like the Department is accelerating the approvals at the moment. Regarding other applications, you never know why they take time. We don't know the files, there might be issues on the company side or on the applicant side. Regarding skill select, I think your occupation needs to be on the SOL to be considered - but I might be wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzielizzie Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 @jess6, yes, I've thought of that..but what about cases like mine and a few others that have not even been allocated after 9 months or so? My employer has sponsored (other occupations) several times and they have always gotten approval. They are stable and precious about sponsorship so I cannot fathom a problem with them. And there's nothing odd or different about our visa-side of things. So maybe we just haven't been allocated, full stop. Seems like FEB-APRIL 2016 have had long timelines just based on the spreadsheet. Do realise it's only a snippet, but still, so are the rest. Guess we will never know. Oh well, I'm going to try to let go and leave it to God for now. No use expending more energy by worrying needlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the profit has to be more than the salary of your nomination position, otherwise appearl is Unlikely to make any differece anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richo Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 @Richo Sorry I am not sure to understand Hi Jess, I'm fishing for info: 1 - Assuming your occupation is on the CSOL what are the options to stay in the country short term if you were on a 457 visa and you end up on Bridging Visa A and then your application is rejected. 2 - Assuming your occupation is on the CSOL what are the options/routes to residency if you were on a 457 visa and you end up on Bridging Visa A and then your application is rejected. I think my application is fine but I'd like to know my options just in case! Richo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richo I can only come up with solution of another bridge visa or a tourism one, but u wont be able to work with latter one. What about renew 457 visa, will solve everything, but a little over budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my application is fine but I'd like to know my options just in case! Richo An MA will answer this question better than me If the application is rejected, you could appeal I guess or find another job. I do not think you can apply for 189 visa if you are not on the SOL. But I mean, that's pretty bad for your employer if the application is rejected! Obviously if they sponsor you it's because they need you. And why would the department reject the 186 visa if you are already on 457 under the same occupation? Again, you may want to ask a Migration Agent because I am not a specialist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
