Does your status automatically change from initial to further assessment once the 28 days after s56 request has passed? After the 28days have passed are you no longer able to upload documents? Thanks You can upload documents any time you want. Not sure about the status workflow, but I would expect the status to change either on the date of the deadline or once you press "I confirm I have provided information as requested" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Hex, Once your nomination approved did the status of your Immi account changed at all. I see the timeline of your visa granted which is one month and four days . Did your Immi account updated at all ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roymom Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 hi there, I am a silent reader and finally I got a golden medal last Friday. I got a PR after 3month nomination approved. it took 11months after applying visa. thank you for all. occupation- maketing manager state- NSW stream -457-186TRT applicants-3 visa&nomi applied :22 Oct 2018 Nomination approved -13Jun2019 PR approved :13 Sep2019 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoop Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Hi everyone, Accountant for 186 DE here. My MA told me that usually the time frame for visa decision, once nomination is approved, tends to be no longer than a few months. But looking at the spreadsheet I can see several accountants with nominations approved back in March, April, and June, none with visas granted. Is there an extra delay for accountants? I thought once the nomination was approved, that means you're essentially in the next stage of processing, so it would be similar time frames for all professions? I'm really hoping that perhaps the accountants just haven't updated the spreadsheet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's the reason, the Accountants I'm referring to in the spreadsheet are about half and half TRT and DE. Eg. There's a TRT Accountant with nomination approved back in March and still no Visa. It seems like the only Accountants who have been granted visas are those where nomination and visa application were assessed together... those where it's assessed separately, none of the visas seem to have been done. There's even one with nomination approved in January 2019, and no visa. 8 months seems a very long time between nomination approval and visa grant, and not at all in keeping with the rest of the spreadsheet! Is there a way to check what professions will take longer? eg. DIBP allocations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Finally it is my turn. 186 Visa approved this morning. After 14 months, so long loooooooooooooooong wait. Occupation: Marketing Specialist Nomination: 11/07/2018 Visa: 30/07/2018 First S56 Request for VAC: 29/05/2019, submitted two days later Second S56 Request for nomination: 15/06/2019, submitted within a week Nomination Approved and Third S56 Request for medical : 31/07/2019, submitted in two days VAC2 payment requested: 18/09/2019 Visa Granted: 20/09/2019 Thanks a lot for this forum. Every time when I have no idea about the application, I will come here to look for advice or suggestions. Wish everyone will receive your visa approval soon. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sere Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Hello I read somewhere this “Typically, if a request for further information is sent, no one will look at the application again until the 28 day deadline has passed” is it true?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it is much longer than 28 days, rarely - quicker (2-3 weeks). It is 30th day since I received S56. Yesterday I applied for a new AFP as my current one has expired today. At least AFP processes requests quickly, it took them just 1 business day to issue a certificate, unfortunately they don't provide a PDF copy of it so I will have to wait for it to be mailed.

Unfortunately, there are many people with nomination approved who are waiting for a long time after. Seems like they assess nomination and visa almost always separately.

I have all documents submitted even Medical is done as well , It’s making me crazy now just this way of Immigration taking cases Obviously If somebody has nomination , there is a visa file as well . It took 8 months for my Nomination to be approved, it looks like another year until they move there fat a&$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
