Fung Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hey guys! Good news from our side. Finally we got our visa finalized. Just checked immi account, I saw it's shown as Granted. I am not so excited as I thought I would be when I saw the status finally being changed to Finalized. It was a long way. I migrated to NZ and lived there for 2 years to fulfill the requirement to a NZ permanent resident visa before moving to Canada, where I lived for 11 months. Then I continued with moving to Australia when I secured a job and got a 457 visa. However, Australian immigration policy changed immediately after I moved here, so I decided to apply for 186 visa under DE stream. I think I have to eventually give up my Canadian permanent residency as I won't be able to fulfill the requirement of Australian and Canadian residency at the same time. But the good side is that I do like living in Australia. My full timeline is: ENS 186 Visa and Nomination applied: 3 Sep 2018 Nomination approved: 3rd April, same day requested for NZ and Canadian police certificates and proof of relationship the same day, status changed to initial assessment. Documents uploaded: 16 April, status immediately changed to further assessment. Visa approved: 30 May 2019 2 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyG Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 hey guys, I received the email this morning from MA and I have been ask for further information on both nomination and personal visa parts. I'm not too concerned with the Nomination part, however, the Immi asked the AFP and my original country's criminal record at the same time which I have provided a clearance. They mentioned: 'I note that you have provided a clearance, however please provide an updated clearance to include all name variations and aliases.' And they listed three full names... I will use 'Waston' as family name and 'Emily' as given name to explain what they actually need. AFP: WASTON, emily / WASTON, Kelly / EMILY WASTON Original country's police check: WASTON, emily / WASTON, Kelly / EMILY WASTON. I guess that, the reason they asked about name 'WASTON Kelly' is due to the photo I have attached, but how am I able to prove it if it is just a nickname????? I'm soooo lost and confused.. I hope my question is not too long to bother everyone, but if anyone has any ideas about this weird request, please let me know as soon as possible. thank you.

None of those names you mentioned seems to be Chinese name, and I don’t think you can get police certificates for those names from China.

dejuvu Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Just wondering has anyone here been granted visa without the submission of form 80 or police clearance from your birth country? Besides AFP clearance and health check, I wonder what other checks do I have to prepare before visa application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To understand better, what can be the reason for dept to pick applications made way after than the ones made last year. is there any particular reason? I haven't heard anything since lodging. recently I have also submitted my police checks/medicals. I also saw another instance who submitted application on the same date as mine and dept has got back to ask for further details at least. I am not able to get the logic behind picking up application to process. Thanks, kashyap I'm not sure what is the reason for your delay.

Fung Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Morning guys. Thank you for updating my timeline on that helpful magic spreadsheet. I just had a look, someone must put 30/05/0209 instead of 2019 by mistake, and it says that I waited minus 660820 days. Can anyone update it please? I don't want to mess up the statistical data. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peyotemix Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Good morning guys, I was doing some research on how to prioritise a case with AAT and the definition of compelling reasons. I found this document from AAT. Does anyone have a clue about which cases will follow under the following? (a) cases where long delays in the review application being constituted and considered would result in the review applicant no longer being eligible for the visa applied for, even if the primary decision were to be set aside. I was originally nominated as Architectural Draftsperson, this position is now on the STSOL list. Do I fall under the above? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
