I have the feeling that most of applicants who wait over 15 months are from offshore????Of course not all.. but most of them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbrowne9 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 pretty heartbreaking news for us today. the nomination was refused, and my visa application wasn't even opened but we will have to withdraw it. 12,000 down the drain. Still trying to get a straight answer from my employer about the reasons for refusal, as no documents were requested. They've offered to resubmit everything with 'correct' information....but not sure if we can undergo the wait and anxiety these months has brought. Also I'm a bit broken by the whole process, and really don't believe the the system is a good one. As a result of this, two Australian employees will lose their jobs under me, doesnt make sense to me at all. But anyway, obviously feeling a bit down and bitter toward the whole experience, but thanks to everyone on this forum; its been a daily check for me for the past few months, and I wish everyone all the very best with their applications. I hope you all get good news soon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app I believe it depends on number of factors such as occupation code, location, complete application at the time of lodgement etc. As per the sheet in this forum, ppl from IT, external auditor etc. got nomination approved in 4-5 months.

If you don’t mind could you please share the reason for refusal after you get to know. Thanks guys. Occupation is Industrial Designer. I believe that the refusal was due to my employer changing the ABN I was employed under mid-way through my application. The frustrating part is that I noticed the change in my payslip, and asked my HR guy if this would be an issue....he said no, not at all. 9 hours ago, ShaunR6883 said: So sorry to hear that.

I know, it seems incredible, but they only offer refunds in exceptional circumstances.....easiest $7,000 that the DIBP has ever made. My employer has offered to re-lodge, but I dont think we want to go through it again and potentially wait another 8-13 months... Thanks for the support though guys, really hope you all get that golden email soon, and not the lead one I got! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for nearly 17 months now and have called immigration around 5-6 times but everytime got the same reply.... this whole system is so not fair for some of us.....

FKS Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Does anyone know if you log into your immigration account whether an employer nomination should show up. Our MA lodged our nomination on Friday but there is nothing to suggest it has been lodged there. Perhaps it only shows something when you lodge your actual Visa application? I wasn't sure - the only thing we can see on our immigration site is our medicals as we had these done a couple of weeks ago and then our 457visa which were finalised a few years ago. Thanks.

Nomination wont show up on the IMMI account. Your MA will be notified once it has been granted. You should have received the "Acknowledgement of nomination application received" when your MA has logged the application, but thats all. Hope it helps.

FKS Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Thanks that's helpful. I just got paranoid they hadn't actually lodged it. Will hopefully lodge main application very soon - just still finalising documents to be attached. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I didn't personally use an MA as I think we had all our visa documentation in order, and the company didn't use one as the HR guy had 'submitted loads of them before.' I hope that things work out for you @Ozdream1 , and also thanks @Dons_30032017, hope you get an approval soon! I have a question which I would really appreciate any advise on; my employer and their new migration lawyer have asked if I want to resubmit, and the migration agent has said that he can submit the visa as decision ready, and put in a 'priority process request' which can speed up the application. This offer has come after my meeting with another independent migration agent, and I cant get back to her to ask her until the end of this week/next week. Just wondering if anyone has every heard of this 'priority process request'? If so, how much could time could it shave off my application?

I am no expert on this but we asked a question of our MA recently and they said "There is no longer any framework priority processing for ‘Decision Ready’ applications." It doesn't sound very encouraging but I don't know if this is just with our agent or an immigration thing.
