Are non priority 186 visas still being processed? I haven’t seen any positive news on here for a while? Thanks

You are correct, we could see only cases pending for more than year or so even on non-pmsol getting cleared, but again it all depends

Hello everyone,

I have just a question.

I’m having a newborn and my 186 visa were approved March 2021. 
I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back and  finish those 2 years with employer after visa being granted. 
 

Anyone having similar experience with leaving employer or work only part time after visa being granted?

 

Thank you

Hi 

I might have a similar experience my wife wants to do ivf so we have to leave this area and move back to city and i have only been granted 186 for 3 months 

i would like to know if that is possible does the employer has any power on me 

what did you do in your situation?

[Divya]

Hi,

I haven’t done my son medical as I applied visa when he is 4 months old now he is 15 months I will do his medicals once Bupa is open . Today while chekcing immi account usually near his health examination it always shows examination required today it changed to examination in progress later after few hours again it changed back to examination required .

still my nomination and visa is in recieved status it going to be a year soon.

thanks

Hi all, 

I can see how painful for everyone the unregulated and unpredictable visa processing time. My time is on now and I am going to join this chat get any advice or to get a help. 
 

Here is my timeline;

186 TRT, onshore
Applied on:  1 June 2021
Occupation: 233914 Engineering Technologist 
Medical Complete: 9 June 2021
No of Applicants: 1
Status: received 

Somehow I realised that IMMI has changed the processing time for visa 186 TRT to 19-21 mounts. Does anyone know anything about these changes?

How much time nowadays immigration taking after medical 

[Hames C]

I've been following this forum daily since I submitted my 186 visa application. On Tuesday it was granted. I hope my timeline can provide some help to people in a similar position.

- Application for visa and nomination made 04 November 2020

- 186 DE Onshore

- Occupation: Drainer (not a PMSOL occupation)

- Number of applicants: 1 (British citizen)

- Medical complete 11 November 2020

- In May 2021 the department requested updated financial information and confirmation from my employer the position was still available. My immigration Lawyer submitted this information the following week.

- No further request for information

- Visa and nomination granted 05 October 2021.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your journey and Congratulations!!!

Same category applicant (186 ENS computer network and systems engineer - onshore)

Wondering why the processing times took such a long time (1 year and nearly 7 months in your case) - unless it's not a mistake

My application was lodged on 03 rd of June 2021 and the medical was done on 29th of July.

If anyone can assist me with their experiences regarding the processing times, I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks

HI Kevin, 

Yes, it is taking longer than anticipated. Well, it depends on various factors and may vary case to case. I am waiting since June 2020 and the Immi status is still under "Further Assessment" - all we can do is wait. I tried contacting immigration and they said Covid 19 is impacting the time lines and asked to hang in there. 

Well, Immi have asked a few questions which our migration agent responded within a weeks time and no response after that, i think it was somewhere around June 2021. Your case might be different but it was for sure taking longer than what it shows on your immi account. 

Hope for the best.

Hi All,

Our Visa were granted yesterday !

 

[Nghiabtn]

Hi guys,
I need help/advice on my visa situation 
Applied 186 TRT as cook on Nov 2019 and still waiting
Visa status : received
As of July 2021, my employer’s SBS agreement ( standard business sponsorship ) expired and due to investigation from Fairwork, they are not able to renew the agreement for now. 
Is it gonna affect to my application ?
Thanks in advance

Hi all, 

Hope I am writing this in the right place as I have just found this forum. We are onshore applicants in Perth with a family application under my partners role as a Diesel Mechanic, and we have only just received our Employer Nomination Approval yesterday, 17 months after we submitted the application (through a visa agent), and 15 months after we completed our medicals.

This seems unusual to me that the first part of the application took so long. Does this sound right to anyone else? I have queried this with the visa agent and am awaiting a response. Just wondering if anyone has put through a complaint with the ombudsman at all? Its not something I want to do, but this seems to be an exceptionally long time,

Thank you!

Totally normal. Others have been waiting much longer in some instances.

Thanks so much for your answer! I get there are delays with Covid, but we havent had to resubmit any info so it just seems ridiculous. I had a scan through a few pages back, but only seemed to find people who were getting visas issued a lot faster. 

Guess I will hang out here any see how everyone goes!?

Has anyone complained to the ombudsman at all and had any success?

Hi Raj

HI Shaun, 

No, we are waiting for their response, Regarding my application I was only contacted in last year sep and we submitted the details in given 14 days time frame and nothing heard so far. However, they contacted our agent in July 2021 about another applicant (Our company sponsored two people) and agent responded promptly and since then no response. It was almost 3 months and no movement in any of the applications. It's been so stressful when I think about this PR....its taking forever - 17 months and still waiting. 

Anyways every case is different, I have been noticing some people getting their grants in 3 weeks as well recently, hope things will move ahead as Aus about to open up again. 

Good Luck with your application. 

Regards, 

[Haze528]

Any movements for hospitality? 
DHA changed processing time from 14mts to 19mts for TRT, we are on our 19mts waiting, status still received. 

[Shashank2000]

Hi,

I had applied for 186DE on 24th March 2021 and I have submitted my previous medicals[HAP ID1] which was done for 482 on Oct 2020. In the immi portal, I could see that my health clearance was provided but with new HAP ID[HAP ID2]. I am unable to see the health record in emedical client with new HAP ID2.

Now my 482 medicals expired and I could not fetch the referral letter with new HAP ID2. Any idea if anybody could manage to get medicals done with only HAP ID but not referral letter? or I just have to wait for CO to request the same?
