Hey guys,

I loged my 186 nomination and visa file on 11 dec 2015. It will be 2 months day after tomorrow. . Anyone know about when we will have case officer.

Thanks

 

hey mate, it's taking anywhere between near 6 months - 6 n a half months so hang tight, could be earlier but keep 6 months mark as a target. Keep following and posting,

 

make ke sure you update your occupation, where did you apply, and did you do you medicals and are all the docs from checklist submitted, these are the factors might affect the time.

Hey mate, I'd be but worried about this situation as far as I know the 457visa holders must be paid the minimum thr should and market salary after a certain date when it was introduced. Please consult migration a lawyer or migration agent about it.

Please check your 457 visa, there is a minimum salary on it. If you paid less than that amount, it should be a problem.

The salary packaging might not be a problem, as it only reduces her taxable income, not the gross income, and that (gross income) should be evidenced in the employment contract and any deductions should be able to be referenced in the salary packaging documentation. However I think 186 visas now have a market rate salary requirement, rather than a minimum salary requirement, so your wife should be being paid the market rate for her job, which should be the same as or more than the current minimum rate for her 457 and the same as non-sponsored people doing the same job in her organisation. I've had a quick look and you might be ok though - it's about $55k here : http://www.payscale.com/research/AU/Job=Program_Administrator%2c_Non-Profit_Organization/Salary

Check this carefully with your wife's company's MA or HR department - and you might want to wait until the nomination is definitely approved before applying for your visa, as that way you won't be wasting your money if the nomination is rejected. It will take longer, but you won't be wasting your money.

G'day guys, Does anyone know what is the difference in teams ? Actually My MA enquired to immigration about status of application and get back reply "in process" from Team 1 NSW.

I applied both NOM and Visa 15/jun/15 and 16/06/15. DIBP requested few documents couple of times already in three months difference and we submitted requested doc within the time but still we have been waiting for 8 months now.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks
