Thanks Hi Thanh, it took mine about 5 weeks for nomination approval (nomination, not visa) after I submitted the extra documentation. But I think it varies a lot. 186DE Visa & nomination applied: June 2019 Nomination approved: August 2019 Status: Further Assessment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TunnyPR 14 Posted January 29, 2020 Got an s56 request today They requested that both my AUS and UK police certificates show all my names My birth certificate shows first, middle and last name - my previous police certificates did too But my passport only shows first and last name, so they’ve asked that I provide new certificates that show all my aliases Potentially good news? My migration agent hasn’t heard from them regarding the nomination, but maybe it’s good news that they’re doing my application? Would they focus on visa application before nomination?

Spoke with my agent and she confirmed they wouldn’t look at my visa application until they’re happy with nomination application. Considering they are only asking for updated police certificates in the s56 request, I think it’s very close to a golden email. Is s56 request usually a final request for information? Once cleared, do they usually approve visas if all the information provided is good? I’m estimating around 1-5 weeks for final visa approval, including police certificate waiting times.

Congratulations on the nomination approval! My advice would be to pretend it didn't happen... When my nomination was approved, I thought it meant my visa was on the way imminently. That was over 5 months ago and I've been stressed out about it ever since! Hopefully you'll be one of the lucky ones, and it'll come through soon But if it's slow, it's a rough wait! 186DE Visa & nomination applied: June 2019 Nomination approved: August 2019 Status: Further Assessment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinicius 20 Posted January 30, 2020 Hi All, I've applied my nomination on the 21/10/2019 and My Visa on the 03/12/2019 Medicals were done on the 17/11/2019. The question is, the time frame (5 to 6 Months) starts from Oct or Dec? Also, I truly believe that the size of the company matters at the time of the nomination approval. What is your opinion on this?

Swoop 38 Posted January 30, 2020 2 minutes ago, Vinicius said: But Should I start counting from Oct or Dec? I believe it's from Visa application date, so December. So I guess you would estimate May/June - but the wait times could have changed completely by then. eg. Last time I applied for a different visa, the wait time was 2 months when I applied, but each month it increased and eventually took 9 months to process. 186DE Visa & nomination applied: June 2019 Nomination approved: August 2019 Status: Further Assessment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
