Thanks for your advice. Another question is my medical check is going to expire by this week. Is it necessary to redo the check?

I would ask your ma for advise if you are using one. Mine has expired and my ma said not to get a new one unless asked. From what I have seen on previous posts they seem to have  potential extra 6 months on them however it’s all to the co discretion

That sounds fair enough to have extra 6 months extension.

Guys, I really need your advice here. Do you think it helps to call CO at this critical time as it’s reaching March. My MA actually emailed them for the updates at the end of 28 days waiting period, but no response yet after a week. I’m getting extremely stressed out but can’t do anything as My MA just asked me to wait and not to call CO. Maybe it’s the NZ consent to disclosure of information that takes longer time to allow the department to seek confirmation from NZ. If anyone have the same situation, please share with me.

Hi dear
I am in the same boat.... my docs requested on 23/11/17 ...submitted on 6/12/17 ... waiting since then ...called immi twice ... first time lady said that COs are on holidays for Christmas and first available officer will take my case after holidays ..... second time a gentleman said that my file is all good to go ... only waiting for nomination approval.... MA said to wait as immi is going slow and strict on files applied after 457 changes announcements.... almost 3 months since docs submitted...and still waiting

Hi all. I checked my Immi account about 1 hour ago and still no change (I can see both nomination and application on my account) so I decided to give the department a call. After submitting my application details to the lady, she came back and said that my file had been allocated to a team and are waiting for extra documents from my manager.

I logged back into my account and now the nomination status has changed to "information requested"?? Very strange but at this stage I'm just chuffed to bits that my case is now open!!

Not sure what documents they have asked for as yet.

Go to the "View Application Mailbox" part in your ImmiAccount. You will see there the correspondence sent to your migration agent. You can open it and see what specific documents they requested. I did the same and sent the additional documents to my MA before she even contacted me for the information requested to seepd up the process. Good on you.

I don't have a MA so I'll just have a sit down with my manager tomorrow. It looks like the same documents as what other people get asked for, training benchmarks, and documents that need to be certified by someone.

My manager simply gave me his log in details. Once I got into his account, I shared the application with my account so I could see it through my end.  You're manager should be able to do the same thing.

I have been waiting almost 12 months though!! 

Yeah I am just stating a point. All I have seen is those who have applied with MLTSSL being looked at recently. I haven't heard of a STSOL application being looked into recently. Makes sense though I guess given that MLTSSL are where they want to fill the gaps so they take priority. 12 is still within the 10 - 15 current processing time so you are all good. What further information have they asked for?
