Alaska Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I'm glad to find this thread. We are all prepared to lodge our 186 (transition stream) but still waiting for the employer to finish their nomination side. Hopefully any day now as we became eligible to lodge it yesterday and we are keen to get it in progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimming Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 According to the immi, if you apply your nomination and 186 at the same time, it will be the same CO. If you apply after the nomination approved, it may be the same CO. HI Channel I have different Co for the nomination applicaion and the visa application are you still waiting ?

knittingmumma Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hi everyone, Congratulations to all who have been approved. For us, it feels like we have been in limbo since having arrived in Aus. I know we have had it easier than some in that my husband has had employment, but the trade off is that we haven't brought property, don't get any help with kids school fees, and i can't work because of childcare fees, still, hopefully all will be good if we get this visa. I have also been watching this post for quite a while now. Just wanted to share our timeline Nomination Lodged: 21st November 2013 Nomination Approved: 11th March 2014 186 application submitted with all paperwork: 12th March Medicals completed: 21st March Just waiting now, although i logged in today and under next steps the medical request has changed to 'medicals are not required for this visa' ??? - assuming this may mean that the medicals have been received ??. Anyway, will keep checking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobito Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 congrats. you are one step closer! looks like it is taking longer for applications that include family members. i wish DIBP is more clear on processing time, it helps us to manage our own expectation. do you mind sharing what occupation you applied under 186?
