Fida Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hello All As like some one posted an update from his MA after attending meeting with dept some where yesterday, I got the similar information from my MA as she attended that meeting too and she advised me that due to changes in 457 and 186 since last year and coming march,dept is playing real tough on all 186 Applicants and the only thing best advised is to WAIT. Nothing New ayyy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk8009 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 so frustrating, my ma keeps saying they are really busy because of the approaching march 1st changeover, which makes me think not many visas are getting approved this month. i wonder if that will change in march. even if there are a large influx of new applications this month through before the March 1st date, i don't see how that should technically affect current applications as we know that applications don't get assessed straight away and instead sit in a long que. Logically you think this would cause a huge delay 6-8 months down the line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk8009 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 i actually read some posts from last year about visas getting granted on Saturdays especially in the WA team, so i guess that is promising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing New ayyy? Tough in what sense? Rejecting applications? I thought the other poster said that was in relation to 187's? Im not personally worried about that as Im with an approved sponsor who has over 9000 staff in Melbourne and im exceed all criteria! Did she mention processing wait times?

She said they are just making things tough and time consuming may be because of the upcoming changes to 457/186. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So strange. Seems counterproductive as all the people who have already applied are not affected by those changes. The only reason I see is that they will assess after March, reject them for the smallest thing, and then make people re-apply under the new conditions...

I think that we don't need to worry about Visa rejection... Why they should not approve our Visa? The only people who need to worry are those who apply with fake diploma and fake experience or other dodgy staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will certainly be many borderline cases or businesses which haven't met the threshold however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignatius Luke Manuel Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Guys, Foreign workers are low class, so we are just an option , not a priority for them. + There is political movement involved for sure. Yes, our life depends on them but they dont care. The truth is, we need them more than they need us. so we have to suck it up and keep waiting patiently. ” Pain is real but so is hope” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignatius Luke Manuel Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I didnt say that they dont need us but we are just a toy so they can play around with us anytime they like. If they want, they can fix this processing time issues but why they cant fix because they dont want to.

MGB Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Halo my dear colleagues, Finally my Visa has been granted. I called ############, then a polite lady gave me another number to call because my application is processing from Victoria. I called Victoria Office and a gentleman was also very helpful, he asked for all what he wants, then said “ we will look for the documents that has been submitted and will inform you,if not today then beginning of March “ I thanked him and put off the line. Note: they requested my transcript on February 5th, and it’s not yet 28 days, but because of my call, they granted. Good luck to you all guys.

lloydy87 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It looks like what the MA's were saying about the conference was correct. I got my MA to call and a case officer called him the next day asking for a lot of details/information because my file is around 11 months old. My MA advised that the case officers request would only be over the phone and it wouldn't be put on my online file. She also advised that we have 7 days to provide the information. They want everything from figures, BAS, training for the last 4 years , proof of work for the year before I applied. I'm not sure if calling has annoyed them and they want to be more thorough than normal. Hopefully it will be sorted soon. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
