Isabelt28 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hi guys, sent in my updated defacto info to the MA today (joint flight tickets and photos, joint bank account statements, bills and info on our upcoming wedding.) The MA says he will send to the case officer today - once that happens, does anyone have experience of how long it might take the CO to review and make a decision?

Good luck, and congrats in advance on the wedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabelt28 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 6 month 5 days still waiting melboure office sucks , this wait is ruinning my thousands plans :goofy: Can you not contact DIBP because their own service standards for this visa are 6 months. Surely if they exceed this they can provide you an update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenangel Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Can you not contact DIBP because their own service standards for this visa are 6 months. Surely if they exceed this they can provide you an update? Already did. They say 5-8 months (even though the 186 timelines say 6 months on their site, ENS says 5-8) and that the high volume of applications is leading to delays, they are trying their best. They can't actually say anything regarding the visa, since the nomination hasn't been processed yet. This was their response to my employer...not much to work with there.

I know I have a CO. They asked for further info, which I sent yesterday first thing. But still nothing. I'm getting concerned that there's a problem with the info I sent?

Aus303 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Hi Isabelt28 It usually takes a week to review the required documents. if CO is happy with everything you send .. your visa will be granted soon...They must have to give you a reply in a week time that's for sure.This is what my Ma told me when i asked him few months before...so really fingers crossed !!!i am sure you will get it...good luck..

Dday Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hi All, got the big new year gift. Today evening I received 186 grant email from my MA. Here are my timelines: DIAC Office: Parramatta Visa Stream: 457 Transition Stream Visa and Nomination Lodged: 30/09/2013 (MA) Acknowledgement Received: 30/09/2013 Nomination Approved : 9/12/2013 Visa and Nomination Grant: 12/12/2013 (Total 75 Days) Status through out this period was "In Progress"...

geographicali Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Thought I would add my current 186 application state of play to the thread: Office: Parramatta Temporary Residence Transition Scheme (from 457) Employer lodged nomination: 28 Aug Acknowledgement received: 28 Aug Visa application lodged (with everything required except medicals) via online immi site: 4 Dec (no migration agent used) Medicals undertaken: 6 Dec Nomination approved: 11 Dec Case officer contacted us requesting medicals: 11 Dec I reckon these should get through to him via the online eMedical system within a week, so in theory there shouldn't be anything else to add then...

Isabelt28 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Pleased for you Dday. I applied one month before you, 28 Aug. CO contacted my MA last Fri (6 Dec) requesting further info. All info sent on Tues (10 Dec) No response as yet. My MA called & emailed yesterday, but still nothing. I am starting to panic given the proximity to Christmas......
