I think this is not fare You and your friends may share the same Occupation but your applications wont be the same. IMMI department uses multiple criteria to assess each application on its own merit. It would be correct to call it unfair, if all the specifics of your application matched your friends but again that would be highly unlikely.

Sofia Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Hi all, I have an update on my bf's process in case this is useful (He accidentally attached his application to the wrong nomination and was asked by immigration to withdraw as this information can't be changed or it would be refused). We emailed back asking to allow us to submit an Incorrect Answers form and continue the process but the response was again NO. After that, we proceded to submit a withdrawal application form and a refund form Friday last week. Yesterday, my bf got an email from immigration asking him to call the Case Officer to discuss his case. They went through everything over the phone, the CO asked a lot of questions and then told him that he found a clause in the policy where he could process his application as is... 2 hours later we received the Approvals for both nomination and application!!!! I know how frustrating must be for people that have been waiting for years to see people getting approvals in 4 months, I sympathize because I can totally see myself feeling the same way if I was in your shoes. I firmly believe that they must have a different team working in visas after SAF Levy fee... I wish everyone gets their PR soon and I hope that sharing this information will be useful to someone here!  2 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anais Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 @Mick1983 I totally understand where you come from, it's been over 18 months wait for myself and this situation is just unbearable. I agree, it is unfair, especially when there is absolutely nothing we can do to get in touch with department so someone finally open our applications. These processing times are just a joke. Doesn't make any sense to open applications of 2018 while people in 2017 are still waiting, lives on hold... Good luck mate, hopefully we'll have a nice CO taking care of us soon 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tini365 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 After a long wait and a scare with my partner's criminal history, we have received our PR today!!! Absolutely buzzing to say the least! Going to have few beers tonight to celebrate and luckily enough, my Mum is over from the UK and staying with me at the moment. Great to be able to celebrate with family. Thanks to this forum and for everyone help! Good luck to all and keep going. This was my second application and my second year of waiting! Keep believing! It will happen!! Tini 1 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effrontery Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hi guys, silent reader here. Finally got the golden email this morning after almost exactly 10 months of waiting. Immi status went straight from 'received' to 'finalised'. Was expecting them to request a new medical since my old one had expired mid March. Like for most you, this process has been very stressful - up to the point where you basically put your life on hold as you don't know what is going to happen if something goes wrong. Thanks for keeping me company along the way.  My Details: Occupation: ICT Business Analyst State: NSW Birth Country: DE - Germany Stream: 457 - 186 TRT Number of applicants: 1 ENS 186 Nomination applied: 6 June 2018 ENS 186 Visa applied: 6 June 2018 Nomination Approval & Visa Grant Date: 30 March 2019 IMMI Status: Finalised 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
