Praveen Reddy Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I have applied for 186 Direct entry visa on Sept 2016 both nomination and PR application on the same day, still the case has not been assigned to the CO. Even contacted the immigration office but they don't provide the timelines. Has been really a long time and now I am bit worried. Did anyone face this similar situation?Don’t worry mate. We are here waiting since August 2016.We will definitely get a positive outcome at last as I haven’t seen any rejection waited for long time on this forum. So be positive and sit back and relax [emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stellagee Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I think it really makes no big difference between onshore and offshore applications. My friend was approved as software engineer in 8 months, applying offshore. Another friend got 187 visa approved today after waiting 5 months, also applying offshore, occupation is sales. So Currently immi just pick up cases randomly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBo89 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hey everyone! Stumbling across this forum and the spreadsheet has been awesome tonight! Can someone point me in the direction of any rules / guidelines for adding myself to the spreadsheet? My partner and I have the particularly fun conundrum of a property acquisition being moved ahead by 4 months (great news if you're not waiting on a visa!) alongside a June application after the May announcement -> meaning that what appeared to be a likely settle as PR is now a gamble depending on our appetite for risk on how long the visa will take (FYI we're aware of FIRB and have covered our bases appropriately!). The difference is a huge chunk of change... Cheers, GBo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have anyone here got any idea about this? Thank you Your MA is right if you were granted a DE 186 visa. Opposite to the 457 transition to PR you have to work at least 2 years with your sponsoring employer AFTER your PR was granted on a DE. However, my MA also told me that DIBP has no resources allocated to follow up and cancel PR visa if you decide to leave your employer as it is common practice but it's legally not correct and yes it might affect your citizenship application.

I haven't seen such employer restriction to work for 2 years after PR is granted anywhere on the DIBP website stating PR visa will be cancelled.

It is not a restriction, it is the main condition of the 186 DE visa which also must be part of your employment contract handed in to DIBP with your application. You don't find everything on their website, that's why I would advise everyone to get an immigration agent, even better an immigration lawyer because they can advise you of legal consequences what agents are not always doing.

For the 187 visa the two years is a requirement even after the visa is granted. For the 186 you only need to have the INTENTION to work for two years at the time of application. You can change your mind of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
