SidFarooqui_20 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Hi All, I’ve applied nomination and visa 186 on 7 Dec 2019 but my MA says that still no updates on my case. Can someone guide me how long will it takes for ICT Security Specialist to get nomination approve? Secondly, If I take 4 weeks unpaid leave from my employer will it make any affect on my 186 visa process ? I would really appreciate If someone can clear my points. And I really hope that we all get our PR granted mail asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessieQ Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Hi Everyone, I have two questions regarding Health Examination. 1. My nomination was lodged on 4 Feb 2020. I don't know if it has been approved or not as I guess only the MA can track the status of that. However, when the primary visa application is lodged today (18 Mar 2020), I received Health Examination action required right away. Does that mean the nomination has already approved? 2. I followed the instruction of the Health Examination, printed the reference letter. But when I tried to book it, I found the Bupa Medical Visa Services is not available for new bookings due to current COVID-19 virus situation. The immigration department suggest that I only have 28 days to respond to their request. However, Bupa didn't mention when the new booking will be open again. What if they didn't open it in the next 28 days. Does that mean my application will be refused due to unable to provide the health check result in time? Anyone in the same circumstance? I would appreciated if you have any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xus0205 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I talked my agent this morning,he said must be something under investigation about my visa part otherwise it should not take this long (further assessment for 3months 13 days).

Vinicius Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hi guys, i heard from my MA that immi department is a chaos due to corona virus, lots of case officer reallocated to urgent cases such as people with visas expiring but can’t leave the country, so they need to act on that. thats what I’m trying to believe.

She said only you can do is WAIT untill the decision comes. She didn’t even asked details about our application and told us we are from those 10% applications with no timeline. Its just delay because department may be verifing documentations. Depressing time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid there's nothing we can do but sit and wait it out. - There was once a rule whereby the dept would only help you once your waiting period was 2x that of the longest expected wait (10%). Meaning, some people would have to wait 24+months to get assistance. It's bad but we are at there mercy i'm afraid. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was for an ICT Support role in VIC. Hopefully it shouldn't take much longer for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

restaurant.manager Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 It these any impact COVID-19 on current onshore/offshore PR applications? I think, it'll only impact on all offshore applications, department won't grant any offshore Visa till further notice. What do you reckon guys?

In light of the COVID-19, PR applicants cannot take health examination recently as the health check provider in Australia - Bupa has closed all new bookings. They say the reopen date is not able to provide. Under this circumstances, anyone who is still in Australia and applying for application cannot be proceed if the health examination is not done before. That's what I know so far.
