While I would never do such a thing, this whole process has taken such a toll on me and those around me. Financial, stress, the unknown, hurdles along the way. I was so pleased to eventually submit my application after 5 years here in Aus but since then there have been more stresses and the wait time has tripled (when I applied I was told 6-8 months). My friends and family have moved away so I have no hometown/ friends to go back to in the UK. Myself and my Aus partner feel like we cannot make long-term plans, my expired police checks and health checks werent even looked at, not a day goes by where I don't stress about the outcome, especially with rumours and growing concerns in changes in immigration such as removal of my job title, and rejecting companies with small turnovers. I also may have to make a decision next month on whether to withdraw and apply for a more certain partner visa as, as of Feb my 457 runs out as this has taken so long (I mean if I wait for answer and it is a no when I am on bridging visa, I cannot then apply for another visa) . This means all my expenses and time and effort and stress was for nothing which is so disheartening, as well as having to pay another $7k for a new visa. I try to be positive and know I am in a better position than others, but you still cannot help it affecting you, especially seeing so many Feb/March approvals and knowing your life plans come down to 1 persons decision. Praying for an Xmas miracle and good luck to everyone. You just said everything that I want to say. I think we`re all the same, it`s an unfair game. Good luck! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was done in February, it has been resent today. Hoping good news follows soon. TRT - 186 Visa, ICT Sales Rep, 12th Feb applied. Congratulations bro. How come they ask AFP you submitted it in Feb 2018? Its not even 1 year...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomlfc1992 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) This was my MA's fault.. He only uploaded the Receipt for the AFP as he said this would suffice. I even sent him the copy of the actual AFP Cert which was sent to me a few days after the Receipt but he never uploaded it.. Slightly annoyed about it, but this is the only thing the CO has asked for and it's been uploaded on the same day. No news on the Nomination either. Fingers crosses a Golden Email comes through soon though. Edited November 23, 2018 by Tomlfc1992 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations @JS_186! Thanks for sharing the info. I am also University Lecturer. Hope mine would come in a similar timeframe. It's currently hard for me to plan anything without knowing when it will be granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurenJS Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hi All, Silent reader for a while and now posting I am currently on a 457 and applying for the 186. I have done everything through a migration agent and didn't complete the health assessment until recently (under my migration agents guidance) due to the lag time associated with VISA processing. I know lots of people who applied in Jan and Feb getting their VISAs now (partner, and 186) so I am hoping that I will get mine before Christmas! Talk about early Christmas present!!! Can someone please post my details in the spreadsheet?
