Just thought I'll share this in case it helps or clears some doubts. 

If your police clearances Australian or overseas have expired or if health examination conducted has expired - as of the current situation, you need NOT go and do all that over again. Its better saving the hassle/money and waiting for a RFI from the department. They seem to be a bit understanding that due to COVID, processing has slowed down and documents like police clearances/health examinations may cross validity.  

By experience, our Australian police checks, overseas police checks and health examination expired by over 2 months and the visa status went straight from "Received" to "Granted" without a RFI in the entire application process.

In fact we just got our new Australian police clearances and overseas police clearances letters late last week and our MA was going to upload the new documents later today but he received the grant notice early this morning. 

Hope this helps ease some of your anxiety..!!!

This is really helpful. Thanks mate.

All my PCC and health checks are going to expire in two months. Perhaps I should wait then.

We can imagine the enormous backlog that DHA is facing right now, and the workload that CO's are doing. So keep calm and wait.

same here. my visa status haven't budge but Bupa has already canceled my appointment at 22 Aug.

I could be wrong but my thought is the immigration might already aware of the situation like Bupa said in their website. They might allow extra time for you to get medical. 

There is nothing you can do. This is a "out of your control" situation.

However, this does mean you need to wait EVEN LONGER, like 3-4 months longer, which is frustrating.

Don't worry. I've been through this when there was stage 3 lockdown in March. They just closed temporarily. After about 1 week or so, they will start to allow you to submit appointment requests through their website and gradually arrange the checks. When new appointments are ready to book, they will send you a unique SMS message where only requested customers can book first. (It took about 1 month after I submitted my appointment request.) In other words, they will not run in full capacity but sooner or later you will be able to finish the check as long as you submitted the request before or your earlier appointment was cancelled due to lockdown. Home Affairs won't progress your application until health examination is done. The CO is aware of the interruption of the health check therefore the 28 days limitation will be waived.

Hi all,

Does anyone know if offshore DE 186 visas are still being processed and granted? Obviously some people here are in a similar position, and seem to have got their visas granted recently (congratulations!), but our immigration lawyer said something about these only being granted for "critical skills" at the moment. Is that right?? 

Thanks!

Hi all, 

Its been 18 months we are waiting for our visa to be grant, Nomination is already approved on 16th may 2019. 

Can anyone tellme where can I contact or email about my visa application, also my migration agent is very useless man, I renewed my passport and given him all details about 7 weeks ago but he didn’t bother to update that on my visa application.

The waiting time is over now. Please suggest me if someone got a positive responce from department after contacting with them.

Im depressed and hopeless.

 

Thankyou.
