Wow come of those grants have come through quickly - congratulations!!

 

Can I just ask - with nomination approval - how did you find out your employer had been approved? Did they advise you?

 

Hi, I had this visa granted in Dec. The employer is notified when the nomination is approved, not the visa applicant. It then depends whether your employer tells you

I wonder if MAs will reduce their fees since they can no longer claim applications handled by them in this way will be prioritised...

 

My Sister had her 186 granted on Friday, it took 5 weeks in total from her application (Melbourne office) - her nomination had already been granted prior to her application.

When she lodged her application??

 

Only 5 weeks ago! She'd already been nominated though - unsure how long that part took, she's a nurse and her employer undertake a lot of 186s each year. She had the medical on Monday and grant by Friday. Herself and her partner as defacto - temp transition, without an agent.

Hi guys

 

I thought I'd share my timeline with you as well.

 

Temporary Residence Transition, lodged in Perth - Both Nomination and Applicant Visa lodged 29/10/201 through MA - Decision Ready. Medicals done and submitted the following week. Country of Origin Italy

 

Big surprise in my emails this morning from my migration agent confirming both nomination and visa were approved on Friday 17/01/14! :-) no idea when CO was assigned as we never heard from the Department

 

Good luck to all of you still waiting!!!

Here's my timeline:

 

Nomination lodged - 14/11/2013

Visa Application lodged - 14/11/2013

Nomination & Visa approved - 17/01/2014

 

Office of submission – Perth

ApprovingCO based in Perth

No contactfrom case officer prior to approval. Nomination and visa were approved a fewhours apart on the same day. Total time a little over 8 weeks.

Key tip: Frontload everything, don’t have them ask you for anything. Have police checks,birth certs, medicals all done before application date. Try and be involvedwith the nomination paperwork for your company as well if they let you. It’s inyour best interest that this is all in order.

Hope thishelps...good luck to everyone waiting! Such a weight off the shoulders when itcomes through.
