If this carries on any longer I will be getting another 457 nomination in as my company have announced cut backs! Imagine waiting all this time to start again ha.

Sk8009 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 i followed up with my ma agent today to ask if i should get a new medical check bearing in mind it ran out at end of Jan and she said not to worry as it is to the case officers discretions. I also wanted to follow up about the information we submitted on tuesday (the third lot of info regarding nom submitted since oct last year) she said they have asked for it to be finalised as soon as possible. I want to call the processing team again, as sometimes you can get someone really lovely and helpful on the phone and they tell you more info, however i called them last friday. My application has been in 11.5 months now. i really just hope that the new information submitted does not go into the 28 day due, i really find that process so frustrating. Has anyone had different experiences ringing the processing team? i also just linked my application to my immi account, the ma told me that they had it linked to their account as they are handling the nomination for the sponsor also. the application now linked is just showing as received, which seems strange as i know they are processing, reviewing documents. i know the department is short staffed and are having to deal with a huge workload, however with the cost of each visa being around the 4k mark, surely they can afford to hire more people. to be honest i would happily pay an extra 1k to department and have the application fee increased to $5k if it meant the processing times were not so long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
