Once you open the Visa Grant Details..you will find the letter. The letter will say they have granted you an Employer nomination etc (...) They can't grant you without granting the nomination. So, If it says finalised on your account and reads "granted" it means YOU ARE PR!!!! Time to celebrate. Sweeet! That’s me granted 1st Feb then! Thanks everyone and best of luck! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contacting IMMI is of no use. Even though I am now past processing times, the only answer you get is « 10% of the applications take longer than the suggested processing times.

Probably you and your husband are tired as I am, I suppose you guys as well found a sponsorship and sacrifice a lot of your life to stay here! Listen to me, you're not alone I've worked so many extra hours for disgusting money hungry bastards, I started my job with all the passion and the experience I have and now waiting for my visa to be approved and in those days I became to strongly belive that I'm not going to have a positive outcome at the end of this story for many reasons, lets clarify them: 1 I work for dodgy people 2 Is a shit business and only people on visa and miserables are working there, in fact they abused of sponsorship because is the only way for them to find workers ( god is great, government changed the rules isn't like that anymore) since then no more new cooks/chefs 3 With me, 3 other cooks waiting long time for pr 4 Visas can be refused for different reasons, so even if you are a good,lived in Australia for many years, did everything correctly sure not a criminal ecx they have the power to rejected you because of business nominations for example 5 Cook is not on the long term list, and so far I only seen cook application rejected, not approved 6 Is unbelievably unfair the waiting time, a total joke.I'm suspicious that they don't look at ur application to take time and advantage the business before they rejecting Would I do the same again? Absolutely not, but I had a good lesson So what to do when you know all this things? I choose to do so, and I will go until the end Whatever you decide to do just make sure if for the best and the happiness of your family, then you'll win anyway! Good luck! xx So TRue, am on the same boat. Cook. Applied on June 2017. 10 and half years in Australia. Did everything right. And worked so hard. It is so frustrating. But Please stay positive. Trust in God, the higher power. When he wills, no one can challenge him. Praying for all of us !! All the best . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, there's a lot of frustration from a lot of people, and it's totally understandable. I'm still waiting for the golden email too, I've been through a lot. I was made redundant just before Christmas (applied to PR on 28 February 2018), so imagine. But I fought for it, and they put me in another business unit. Never give up, never give in. Guys, the way law of attraction works is like this: The more you express a certain emotion, the more of that emotion (or experience) you will get. If you express 'frustration', the "universe" will give you more of this. If you express happiness, the universe will give you more happiness. It's all about on what frequency you're at. You can believe or not, but do the following: 1- Write down in a piece of paper a letter of what you want to get right now. For example, a V for Visa. Draw two circles around it (one circle is a magnetic field, and the other one an electromagnetic field). We create an electromagnetic field when we think and express, and this has been measured by science. Google it. 2- On the left of the paper, write down: Intention. 3- Under intention, write what do you want, how are you going to live this experience once you get this. 4- On the right side, write the title "elevated emotion". 5- Under this title, write down how are you going to feel when you get the V. Write down: in love with life, happy, grateful. 6- Now, close your eyes, and imagine that this experience already happened. It's also scientifically proven that the mind doesn't know the difference between a real experience or one that you create in your mind. If you create an experience in your mind, your brain will change everything as if the experience really happened. And that's when the universe will give it to you. 7- You need to feel those elevated emotions, all day. No frustration allowed, don't rush time, don't get angry. Just, live the present moment. It's better to be here waiting for the PR than in another worse circumstance. Let's be grateful, patient. Nothing to lose by doing this. Start now, live the present! The visa will come! But live like if it already happened. It's a challenge? Yes, but try! All the best. Chris So well said. Thanks. So well said .. "If you express happiness, the universe will give you more happiness. " You made my day. God bless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday i checked my application online and found that it is in initial assessment stage however immigration was asking for additional documentation for my partner (police clearance and proof of English) both of which i know i sent to my MA as part of my application. When i checked the documents uploaded for my application, i found that 1 police clearance was not uploaded and his English certificates were not there. When I spoke to my MA, she advised that it was an issue from department and they sent them an email together with the documents to clarify that it has been uploaded before. (not entirely sure i want to believe this.) Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know that its best to do a bit of checking and due diligence. I wouldn't have found out that my nomination was approved or that there were missing documents if I didn't check and now I'm regretting that I did not check earlier to ensure all was uploaded when i got access to my application. (via help from this forum of course! ) Hi, Thanks for your post. How can i check if all my documents are getting uploaded by my MA. My immi account doesnt show details of documents uploaded.

KamSingh Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hi Everyone I've been a silent reader here for an year now. Lodged 186 on 23rd June 2017, so currently on 19 months and still waiting for an update. My 457 expires in May 2018. But this long wait has put my life on standstill. In late 2017, i met my other better half and she is a citizen here. We got married end of 2018. In the meantime I've been waiting for my visa approval. We wanted to buy a house before we get married and move into our own house but not having a PR has really affected decisions in my life. I'm thinking of just taking back the application and apply for a spouse visa. It is really gonna put us in financial pressure as it's another 10k roughly in immigrations pocket. Can anyone please suggest is it better to wait or just move on with other visa. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience here, it seems many of these same delay's seem to be affecting (not only) Restaurant Managers and Cooks / Chefs. - I suspect these are high risk occupations and hence, take a little longer in some cases.

Regards This is a tough one to answer and I think is more of a personal question for yourself. - You do have the choice of applying for the spousal visa, but don't kid yourself if you think this will be quick (my friends took a little over 2 years and face to face interviews - in her case). Be positive though cause either way, at least you have a way in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
