However, she told me that I can withdraw the application and then reapply. MY MA might be wrong, please advise if you have any professional solutions. Hi Vishaal, Your MA is incorrect - you can add family to your application after you have applied As copied from ( https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/employer-nomination-scheme-186/temporary-residence-transition-stream#HowTo ) Go to step 4 > after you have applied > show steps > point 9 Add Family > see how... You can add family members to your application before we decide on your visa. For the purpose of adding family members to this visa, your family members are: your partner your dependent child and stepchild your partner's dependent child and stepchild 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IELTS can print whatever they want on their certificate, but Australian immigration recognize the IELTS results anywhere from 1-3 years depending on the visa and whether you're the primary or a dependent applicant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say this is probably wrong as you could also add her to your application before being married as a de facto partner if you've been living together for 6 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My story was nomination approved on 3rd April, and requested for NZ and Canadian police certificates and proof of relationship the same day, status changed to initial assessment. I provided everything yesterday and MA uploaded them today, status immediately changed to further assessment. Have you been asked for additional documents twice? Were they both sent to you/your MA as “s56 request for additional documents”, and was the status shown as “received” for the first time? Did you apply for your visa after your nomination was approved? Edited April 17, 2019 by Fung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs about 200$ i think and you get a nice looking certificate.

melal Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Someone told me that whoever paid the SAF levy which is after Aug-18 got these emails and possibly it becomes really easy for DoHa to make decisions as they dont have to run after the benchmarks. I am not sure its true or not but same like u i received this email and since then no response. Hopefully everyone will get their grants soon.

I lodged the application in May 2018. However no news. Im just learning to love this limbo! Fingers crossed for all of us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
