Hi,

Received nomination approval, agonizing wait begins.

I hope its not to long before I get the golden email.

I will update the spreadsheet.

Thanks,

If you got your nomination, it should be (usually) a quick turn around for the CO to either grant the visa, or request documentation. Let's hope it's the better of the 2!

Hi Guys,

Do you know if your company has already provided financial documents for latest business year and paid training benchmark? I am a bit worried as my file is not up to date. Does the obligation to pay training benchmark apply for each year while the applicant is waiting offshore? 

 

 

 

@tocsa As far as i'm aware, the training benchmark is for the company nomination (which affects your visa obviously). The fact that the company has an applicant on or off shore, should make no difference. The requirement is to confirm that the company (not the applicant) is up to standard on training. Hope that helps?

hi samee, 

they have opened my file and received 4 requests letters since then. Last request letter was in September and submitted requested docs in Oct. I hope i will receive the positive response this time. Literally every time they send a request letter it adds 2 months straight away. they opened my file after 24 and half month.....so yeah

@Deep1991 No, nothing as yet - the last request for documentation was sent (and provided) on the 12th October. 

They say that the documentation needs to be provided within 28 days of request (which is now past). I'm holding thumbs (and anything else), hoping that someone picks the file up and ticks the box.

Hi @rem279 I applied as Software Tester 9 months ago. It still as received. When did you apply?

@dschmidt I am in the same boat, applied almost 9 months ago and still it is received. Have you heard of anyone who got their ENS approved as software tester, in the past?

Hi @rem279 I saw just one application as Software Tester in the spreadsheet, but I can't find it anymore. I believe it was in 2016, direct entry, and it was approved. Are you applying for Direct Entry or TRT?

Hi @dschmidt - mine is TRT. I too remember seeing in the spreadsheet. My worry is I do not see Software Tester role in latest occupation list for 186, it is eligible for 189, 190 I believe, so not quite sure if they would consider for ENS. Ideally it shouldn't be an issue as the overall experience from 457 or 482 needs to be taken into consideration, but still wanted to confirm if this is okay.

I just received my visa grant. 
I don't need to tell you guys that words cannot even explain this feeling... 

Please update my case on the spreadsheet;
Below is my full timeline.

09/01/2018: Nomination and visa application
30/08/2018: s56 requested more documentation (form 80 and character update for my wife - she didn't add the full 10 years of passed living address)
-- Submitted back within 3 days.
08/10/2018: Nomination approved
09/10/2018: s56 requested additional documentation. Now that my son was passed 2 years old, they needed a TB scan (both children had a medical already), once passed age of 2, they have to provide a TB scan as well (for certain countries).
-- Submitted back within 8 days.
12/11/2018: Visa grant received. 

This forum has helped me tons and don't worry - I'm not going anywhere.
-- Knowing how hard and stressful this process is, I've decided to stay dedicated to try and help anyone, with anything I can with regards to this process.

Pending nomination and/or visa applications will not be adversely impacted by the subsequent removal of any occupation from the skilled occupation lists.

If you already hold a skilled visa, you will not be impacted by these removed occupations unless there are changes in your circumstances which require the lodgement of a new nomination application – in which case you may then be impacted. This for example may occur if you are changing your occupation or employer, and your occupation is no longer on the skilled occupation lists.

Enjoy it and celebrate tonight

Hi Ak101, on the top of this webpage there are several tabs. One of them reads "Visa Timelines" (which is between "Articles" and "Money Transfers"). In the drop-down menu, select "ENS 186 timeline", then you can see the spreadsheet.

Thank you @Nora, that is what I heard from my lawyer as well. No problems with our occupation @rem279 because we applied before they remove it.

Congrats! Enjoy your relief! 

How far did your wife put the living history for the last 10 years? I'm waiting for the same visa as you (186 TRT - Developer programmer), and I applied in March this year (nomination and visa).

For both our living history stopped on Jan 2010 (not exactly 10 years), because there are not enough lines on the form. Do you recommend to contact our MA to update the form 80 now or better to wait until they get back to us? I'm afraid that changing the application now will delay the approval again...

My husband and I used Part T (at the end of the form) to add more details as we didn't have enough lines as well.

@BenoitThanks mate, much appreciated! 

- My wife had only added up to the last 8 years, they are very strict on this and needed the full 10 years of past residence (including any police clearance for any country you've lived for more than 12 months). We had to complete tons of information at the bottom of the form (they provide additional space for extra details). we just labeled it as "section x - continued".
- I would recommend to everyone / anyone to do a form 80. It's a pain but is so easy for the CO to ask for it, which will only delay things longer. Also, you should already have everything needed to compete it. So there is no real reason not to. 

Remember updating your application does not slow it down at all, unless its a request from the CO.
