Should we update our current address on the visa application or not? If we update it, we are wondering if the time processing might be faster as WA is a regional area? Thanks As per my view, Yes you need to update your current address. But not sure processing might be faster as WA is a regional area? as your stream is not a regional sponsored one.

I haven't seen any literature that shows otherwise. Please let us know if you / your agent has information to shows otherwise - I know the number was going to be 30 000 (less).

qfmouse Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 The processing time of Visa186 TR is 12-18 months now. I think it`s a good news, right? Because in last month the data was 15-17 months. I see many people get their PR in this forum recently and most of them lodged their nomination in February, which means their processing time is about 8-9 months. So I think 12 months for 70% applicants is the maximum time not the minimum. We all understand why there is 17 or 18 months for the processing time, it`s just a trick that DIBP don`t want people who lodged in May or June 2017 to call them up. (Visa 457 was abolished in April 2017 and many people just submitted their applications in a hurry) So, my question is: What`s happened in these 2 months and why the processing time drops dramatically? Please correct me if I`m wrong, thank you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friskycharmer Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 This is my opinion Based on conversations with my MA. Before Xmas people who logged applications in jan, feb, March should see there visas processed or at least the nominations approved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also spoke to my agent and like many before have said, there are a huge number of factors that determine the speed of the application, but two main ones: job title and company turnover. I'm skilled in a rare occupation (not another applicant on the spreadsheet) so that's a positive, but as my business is classified as small (less than 2 million annual turnover) that it will take longer. They told me not to expect to hear anything about nomination or visa until Feb-April next year.....but it would be a hell of a Christmas present!!

vasia Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I recently spoke with my MA, and he told me that now they can see that most applicants get result in 12 months. He also said that they have some sort of meeting in July with others MA and submitted a complaint to prime minister about processing time, as it is an absurd. And employers did the same, as they need skilled workers to fill up the position. So everyone is pretty pissed off of this situation. I just hope that it will start to move quicker than it is now. Most of my friends,who applied a 1.5 years ago, got their PR in 6 months. And we have to wait twice longer. That is totally unfair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope it's the better of the 2! Hi, Question about nomination approval - my nomination was submitted by my company's MA and I submitted the visa application myself. Will I know thru immi if the nomination has been approved or I need to be informed by the MA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to complete tons of information at the bottom of the form (they provide additional space for extra details). we just labeled it as "section x - continued". - I would recommend to everyone / anyone to do a form 80. It's a pain but is so easy for the CO to ask for it, which will only delay things longer. Also, you should already have everything needed to compete it. So there is no real reason not to. Remember updating your application does not slow it down at all, unless its a request from the CO. Thanks for the tip. If we submit form 80 through immi, under which document category should it belong to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
