Omg Hex, hopefully that is the case..hehe. Oh well, I will keep you guys posted. Congrats to everyone getting there grants! that 5 months waiting time...geez I was like "wow".

On the plus side - this forum represents only a small, hand full of people waiting for Visas. - Trust me, there have been many approvals and grants today - maybe just not many from the users that are on here.

I do know that is is listed on the SSL ocupation list, but wouldn't know if it falls as a "high risk occupation". Do not know what are the considerations for this.

Black Serpant Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) 5 hours ago, nircha said: Hey @Black Serpant mate, I see that you were requested for the consent form as well. Did your MA suggest that it could take a couple of months? If you apply for COJ clearance by yourself, it takes around a month's time but I would have expected this to be faster, like a week or two, when being verified via Australian Depart of Home affairs directly. Could you please let me know when you get any kind of update as you should hear something before I do? Cheers! Hi there, sadly its worse than you think >> below is a screen shot from immigration website clarifies things about the NZ police check. Have a read it will help. As per below - This will take a couple of months for verification with NZ ministry of Justice.

J Vitor Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 10 hours ago, nircha said: @J Vitor Hey J, When you got your case finalized decision email, did it come through from the same processing office(you said Queensland?) they had requested for further information from? And was it the same case office? It appears that the processing office can also vary and the same goes for the CO from what I am seeing. Hi Nircha. like Hex said, Co can vary. Mine was different Co that requested docs and granted pr, but was Qld pese. Try not to worry too much now that you're almost there. Your visa is just around the corner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey5593 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 @Hex Sorry if you answered this somewhere else or if I missed it very recently. Did you supply form 80, and if not, was it requested during your application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you supply form 80, and if not, was it requested during your application? @davey5593 I did supply the form 80 (without being requested to do so), and I always suggest the same to anyone who asks. Yes, it might not be requested but from history and this forum, it seems a high percentage of people are asked for it - meaning, if you don't have it - your visa process is delayed again. - The data it contains is not that difficult to complete, and hence, I didn't see it worth not supplying, in risk of extending out the process. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that you are referring to an archived link which might still be relevant but my consent letter suggested that they only wanted to find out if there were more than one letter issued. I called MOJ in Nz and asked them about this process, you won't believe it but they said they usually reply back within 2 business days(almost always on the same day) to Immigration Australia. Was your consent letter different to what is shown below? I guess, if it is not going to take longer we will find out soon as well I wonder if someone from this forum has already gone through this process in recent times within the last few months or so. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/contact-us/offices-and-locations/list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Serpant Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hi nircha, Yes, you are correct and I agree with you .. the reason behind the verification is to get a confirmation from NZ MOJ about the number of pages issued for that particular criminal record certificate and the answer is usually Yes or No. From experience with people from this forum, I have noticed many applicants had to obtain NZ criminal record certificate and provide consent letter - The process of verification seems to take very long for some reason and as of now it is unclear which side is causing the delay.

maria8999 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 So I got some news yesterday for both parts of visa after 18.5 months of radio silence Nomination: Immi requested a load of docs - mostly updated financials BAS tax return profit/loss PAYG updated contract registration of new trading name updated confirmation of employment Basically proof business still running and I am working there as it's been soooo long since I applied My visa: new police & health checks which sucks balls. $430 down. Also my Aussie bf's passport. Managed to get medical this morning and should have most docs today but not expecting to hear anything for a bit. I know my occupation is high risk, so im hoping they are just dotting the i's, but who knows as our loss this last year is pretty significant. keeping all my fingers crossed! 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping you hear some positive news soon after your docs have been sent through! The Department called into my work yesterday, asking for a list of all members of foreign staff employed through the 457/TSS . I asked my MA if this was a enquiry made originating from my nomination but he said this was a general request from Immigration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
