I already got a police check which was valid till few months ago and I have been here in Australia .So how can I commit any crime there while I'me here that they ask for updated one! I sometimes think they just do this because they already achieved their quota of approving visas and its just a way of them buying time if they know your visa should be approved. Its just a theory though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, you will have to play with their rules. If they request for one, you will need to get one. Justifying things may delay it further Im afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to all of you. Hope we all get approval this year. I think it may be good to discuss some possible reasons behind the delay. a) CO (e.g. change of CO, maternity leave, etc.) b) Nomination by a small firm?? c) Occupation d) Any issues in the application (e.g. convictions, work experience from an unknown employer, previous visa refused by AU or other countries) e) ??

My guess is occupation and company size/ turnover play big parts. With some staffing issues thrown in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if smone is having conviction they can still process application according to wht law says if it says it doesn't pass character test they shuld refuse it or otherwise grant it but they were delaying applications for no reason is not fair. Smone got refusal after 31 months. How is tht fair why dnt they refuse within time frame how can it take 31 mnths to refuse smone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mich Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi All, Silent reader here for the past month. I got the gold yesterday! Got sore face muscles as I can't stop smiling since - Transition stream - Two applicants - Civil Engineer - Nomination lodged 09-02-2018 and approved 07-11-2018 - Visa applied 16-03-2018 and approved 27-11-2018 What's interesting my partner (de-facto) is overseas at the moment and CO rang my MA to clarify if she's coming back soon. Shortly after that bang - granted! I realize I'm a lucky one seeing all others with much longer wait - stay strong people!

Benoit Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Did anyone here have to do the nomination on behalf of his company in the case of a 186 TRT? I need to ask some info as the HR person in my company is completely useless, and I'm sure that she is not honest with me as she just want to avoid the topic. The MA asked for an update for the nomination (long story short, the HR person did submit the nomination, and the MA did the application), but the HR said that the portal doesn't give any update on the nomination. is that true? Can anyone help me with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only been following for about a month, but it has been a good source of positivity knowing that other people are getting accepted. My occupation is still on the list. Feel like occupations that have been removed would almost be more of a priority? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My company also lodged my 186 visa on February 2018 and still its in RECEIVED status. I am not sure what is the difference between the Nomination Lodged Vs Visa applied?

You cannot see when they open the nomination (company part) as this contains private company info, but when a decision is made on this part you will be informed. ' received' just means they have got your application but has not been opened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
