If you had only transferred your 457/482 visa to your current sponsor (who also is the nominator for your 186/187 TRT), then the 2 years start from the date of nomination approval. Thanks mate. I am going for 186 DE. My contract is 3 years, 7 months has gone. Now I am concerned that my visa grant might not be made in 5 months time. Anyone experience this?

It should be "accredited BIG sponsor". There are about 3000 accredited sponsors, and they are not at the same level. I suspect top 10% will be processed first.

It is mainly for 482 visa, to fast track those visa, Mine has come in couple of days when I had applied. I guess my application got lost in the pile.

I guess my application got lost in the pile. That makes sense. We are in same boat now. My offshore 482 was also finalised in 5 days. No worry, if you look around (this forum and expat forum), it seems they are moving the backlog now. A lot decisions(approval or refusal) for various kind of visas have been made recently.

Nomination & Visa lodged: 10 March 2020 Occupation: Software Engineer Applicants: 4 (onshore) CO said PCC is not of correct format : 30 April 2020 New PCC sent to CO : 15 May 2020 ( Even though it is exactly of the same format as the older one. Attached an email from Consulate explaining the format is standard) Visa granted: 13 July 2020 Agent emailed me the visa grant: 16 July 2020 What a relief ! I didn't even had an account, so just created an account today to update you guys to send some positive vibes. What I see is they have started processing all the backlog in past 1-2 weeks as we can see lots of grants recently. God bless you all, and soon you will all receive the golden email destined to you ! Good luck ! Congratulations mate. My nomination and visa was lodged earlier than your for the same role but no status update yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWannaGooo Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hi, I’m new here but have been reading the posts the last few weeks and I wondered if anyone could answer a query for me... I have a 186 DE visa application which was lodged on 28th June, my employer had lodged the nomination a few days earlier and told me I could go ahead and lodge the visa application. The company sponsoring me is Ramsey healthcare if that makes any difference to anything. Within a few hours of lodging the visa more info was requested which was my husbands police check (Which was uploaded 4 days later) and also my sons birth certificate (Which had already been uploaded with the original application but I attached again anyway). Our medicals were completed and uploaded 8th July. My query is that If the request for further information doesn’t ask about work experience am I right to presume they are happy with that? would you think I am just waiting for the grant now? thanks in advance for any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
