bennyluk Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 hi guys,6 months now, still waiting nothing happen dont know how many days take more? Now you have right to call DIBP, DIBP states 75% applications allocated within 6 months. Now, it seems 0% allocated within 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariElodie Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hi all, I have been following this thread for a while now it's time to jump in My timeline is: Direct Entry Nomination lodged: 22-09-2015| Status: waiting Visa application lodged: 25-09-2015| Status waiting Country: LR I was hoping having my PR granted way before March (= 6 months) but it looks like it's now a bit too ambitious... I am going overseas from the 18th of March 2016 and I might not have my PR by then considering also that if I need a Bridging Visa B I need to apply for it at least 2 weeks before the date of travel so before the 4th of March. I am a bit confused because when I applied for my PR in Sep 2015 I was still under my 457 visa which ends in Dec 2017 but I still received a Bridging Visa A. Does that mean that I am no longer on my 457 visa and only on my bridging visa A? If so I will need a bridging B for my trip but if I understood well and if I am still on my 457 which hasn't expired, I can leave the country and come back without telling anyone. Does anyone can help me with that? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can travel overseas any number of times before your 457 visa expires without telling anyone. But if you are returning after your 457 expires, it is mandatory to have bridginig visa B in your hand, because you cannot apply BVB from outside australia.

Cheers My understanding is based on what it is mentioned on my Bridging Visa grant notification as I'm in the same situation "This bridging visa is not in effect because your Temporary Business Entry visa is currently in effect." As our 457 are still valid then the bridging visa does not come to the picture and only the 457 rules apply. So you have the right to go overseas without asking anything. Hope that makes sense.

UktoOz2015 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 There are many from July who are not very active on this forum, its quite possible they have received there Grants and we just don't know about it.E.g- @David14, @jamie14, @SheenaK0711, @S11mmx, @Sandhu, @Bhullar, @shanechan517, @NGS, @Jaymal, @UktoOz, @Freddy Hi mate, Im still waiting........ Nomination and Application both 30/07 - Application received with no response :-( Have read quite a few forums today though and the general consensus is that after Australia day approvals will increase as immi staff return from holidays once schools return (based on last few years of approvals) Hope this helps settle some nerves...
