Shobi777 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 My ENS 186 is through labour agreement. Nomination was lodged on 20th November, and approved 18th February through the Parramatta office. I submitted application 8th February, but am about to book medicals ready so hopefully decision will be quicker. There is a case officer on the nomination approval, does anyone know if this is the case officer for application as well? Congrats tracy racy at least now you are 1 step close to pr hope it wonot be long now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimming Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 we are on the same boat I got the approval of nomination on Jan 2014 and submitted the 186 visa application on Feb 2014 I received the ACK letter 10 days later, and there is a case officer name at the end of the letter the same person with the nomination co so I think there should be the same co i submitted around 2 weeks, nothing news except the ack letter.

swimming Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Long time anxious watcher of this thread, so it's time to share my experience: Nomination submitted: 01/07/13 Nomination approved: 29/08/13 Application submitted: 06/09/13 CO assigned: Early December sometime (Parramatta Office) No contact whatsoever since. I've sent numerous emails, made numerous phone calls to try find out what my pregnant wife needs to do about her medical, as she can't do the xray but haven't been able to get a straight answer. We live in wait, for now at least Hey caomhin are you still waiting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimming Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 The waiting is really starting to get to me! Has anyone had any approvals from Perth recently?Here's my timeline:. ENS 186 Perth | temporary transit | MA DRC 12/07/2013: Employer nomination submitted 04/10/2013: Application lodged (all documents ) 04/10/2013: Acknowledgement letter received. 07/11/2013: Nomination approved I hope I have some news soon. My MA says she wont chase as its not been 6 months. Does anyone know if the clock starts ticking from nomination lodge date or visa lodge date? I cant seem to get a straight answer.... :mad::mad: I think it should be visa lodge date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimming Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 My nomination was lodged on 28th June, 2013Visa lodged: 28 Aug, 2013 186 Direct stream, currently on the 457 Melbourne office No news yet. The wait is getting more frustrating by the day! Thought I'd share my timelines. Cheers I wonder as a 457 holder and apply 186 through 186 direct entry do you need to submit the tax payment for your salary in aus? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auzman Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I started to visit this forum from last week. Most of posts of time line have no nomination job and original nationality indicated, which actually are some factors for PR application approval time line, should be helpful for each individuals to estimate the timline. Really hope the poster can consider this input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HayleyUK9 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Is it technically correct that DR applications are considered first? I lodged my 186 non-dr on 6 November and my friend lodged on 8 November for same visa but DR, they had a request for missing information last week (which is a good sign as at least it's being looked at!). I haven't heard a thing. This normal?? Edited February 24, 2014 by HayleyUK9 Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
