Hex Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Has anyone tried going through the priority processing? Apparently there is also a "decision priority processing" process that only agents can use. - http://www.themigrationplace.com/2013/01/29/are-you-eligible-for-priority-processing/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there is still other priority processing channels available, however, I don't think they are for the 186 etc. visas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totto Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 3 hours ago, Deep1991 said: Bro I dnt think it has to do anything wth tht. I waited for my grant for 30 mnths. Out which 28.5 mnths I was on bridging visa A. My visa expires next month whn I lodged mine. So I dnt think there is any truth behind tht. There are lot of people who got their pr even whn they hav other visa left for another year or more. Hope this helps u Thanks mate, did you at any time contact the department asking why they were taking so long or had any means to communicate with them? I have tried calling, unsuccessfully and emailing just sends an automated response. Where your MAs able to follow up or put pressure on the department?

Cheers, and once again, congratulations Yes bro we did so many times.even we did official complaints and almost same answer same time tht it's pr visa so it needs more verifications and security check so it will take time. The answer was same even whn we complaint frst time and whn we complaint last time.. Once in 2017 they replied tht it can take another two years whn it was already 16 months passed tht time. May be smtimes they try to break u. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hex Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Has anyone (who has gone through an agent) found a way to check on their visa status without having to bother the agents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can import your application into immi account. You will need to get the reference number from your MA. Think you can import using the TRN ref number and you can only see the status of the VISA application and not the nomination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think mine were approved at the same time with no further documentation asked. You need to import it. I checked it any my status turned to finalised, so I checked messages and the grant was there, then my MA emailed me within half an hour - I must've seen it just as it updated on my account! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babysleep Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Hello everyone, I am newbie here! Occupation: Accountant Employer nomination submitted on 31/3/2018 I'm going to submit my visa application soon. I know character check is a must to do it and it only lasts for 12 months. Immigration said I only need to do police check (both Aus & my original country) once they request me to do. However, after uploading all documents except police check, the pop up screen said that I haven't submitted all required documents and need me to provide explanation. Anyone had experience about this? Thanks for helping!! *I haven't submitted the application yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
