Fung Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 15 minutes ago, Toto said: Hello folks, New here but did some reading of this site when I prepared our application. We had what felt like a long wait for nomination but then after we submitted application, it was very fast, which was not what I expected at all and we were delighted. Our case was straight forward apart from having an adult daughter at university. Therefore we completed the application ourselves with one trip to see a registered migration lawyer who helped me understand the breadth of evidence needed to ensure my daughter would be likely considered dependent. He also helped us interpret "de facto" as she has a uni boyfriend. We had asked for NSW Health to use the Labour Agreement Scheme for our nomination but they refused on the basis that as Kiwis we "had no need for permanent residence". This was a blow as we knew DE would be longer. That cost us six months. As Kiwis we can live and work here but we cannot vote or access uni fee loans and are excluded from certain civil service jobs, as well as other things. There is also always the risk that later changes could undermine our right to be here and we felt a parental responsibility to try and secure PR (and ultimately citizenship) for the children we had brought here. We waited two years when we arrived because currently Kiwis in Oz count their time on the special category visa toward citizenship (this may change) and also after two years with same employer we avoid skills assessment including English assessment. The feeling when we got the emails was a fantastic mix of delight and relief - good luck to everyone else waiting. Our wait was only 14 months from immi in the end, but an extra 6 months getting the nomination submitted by employer. Rough timeline (I didn't keep track exactly) Occupation: Registered nurse State: NSW Birth Country: UK Stream: 186 DE Number of applicants: 4 Nomination applied: February 2018 (initially requested employer to sponsor under Labour Agreement in July 2017) Nomination approved: Early December 2018 Visa applied: Early February 2018 Asked to attend medicals: Early May Visa granted: 24 hours after medicals cleared. IMMI Status: Finalized Hi Toto Thank you for sharing so much information. May I ask if you were requested for new NZ police certificates? They are only valid for 6 months, so I suppose that yours were expired during the processing. Do you still remember when was the last time that you updated your NZ police certificates on your application? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD31 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Congrats friend！could you please tell us what did you include in your complaint，did you just say that the waiting time has been too long or did you say some other reasons like，the bridging visa is very convenient or something？ Could you please give us some tips，because I have lodge a complaint online and they just replied me with：“ Global visa processing times will be updated monthly, providing you with an indicative timeframe only. Processing times are impacted each month by changes in application volumes, seasonal peaks, complex cases, and incomplete applications. We have now closed this case. However, we have referred your feedback to the relevant business area. While no further response has been requested, business areas may exercise their discretion and provide additional comment.” No one is following my case since then....Hi dear I just called global feedback unit and said that it has been almost two years and what have the immigration has been doing on my file? I want a definate date they will be deciding my application. I wqs reqlly angry and literally crying. My lawyer said to call them and just say whatever I want to say. I just did that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immi has requested home country police clearance again, which we will submit on Monday 27th. Looking forward to good news! Once my 1st Nomination was refused I have lodged AAT as well (did at the same time my 2nd Nomination and Visa applications were lodged. With Immi you can never be too safe I guess). My MA said that I can ask for AAT fee refund, might do so once Visa is approved. What a happy Friday it was!!!

Kashif.Iqbal Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hi Guys, I have a question to ask, i just checked in the immi website that stated "Applications for visa subclasses 186,187, 189, 190 or 489 which are lodged through SkillSelect will be given the highest priority within each priority processing group." https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-processing-times/priority-processing Can someone explain this to me, what is the difference between normal 186 and SkillSelect 186 applications? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be appreciate if anybody know respond to this question. Hi, I dont have much knowledge about nomination, it was completely handled by my MA. But, I believe employer has to give a detailed letter about the employee's work for his nomination. It's best to let the MA handle the nomination application.
