Sunshine1 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Is anyone on here waiting for 187 for Perth? Our MA just told us they are slower than the other areas. Such horrible news to start the week with Yes I am. Stressful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015DEC187 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 By the looks of it more than half of Aug applications are still pending which probably means they wont finish September files in March. This is so frustrating as this means it will definitely be more than 6 months processing time. And this for a Priority 1 visa. I just don't get it, starting to loose all hope now.

Hi don't loose hope because maximum application lodged in July and August time after that there is great fall in the application hope that dec nomination application will open approx end April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015DEC187 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I really hope this would be true. If they can allocate mid October by the end of March I would be hopeful again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanitaA Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) With the backlog and slow processing at the moment we are considering bitting the bullet and applying for 457 to get over sooner. Realistically with our October nomination and December visa application, at the current rate we are looking at only getting visa end August at this point. Leaves you wondering what the purpose of priority 1 really is..... Edited March 7, 2016 by JuanitaA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoya Khan Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Good Morning! Hope everyone is doing well & bless . Each Australian Visa case is assessed on its own merits therefore each case is different and will be subject to different processes teams of DIBP . Providing all the documents will mean the case officer will not have to make repeated requests for information nor wait for the information to be gathered and provided. It could mean our application will be assessed more quickly if it is very well prepared .Lastly it is worth to wait 6-8 months in processing our application and become Australian permanent resident. If we have made it this far in life, we all clearly have some skills and resources already in place. Wish we all will get this goal in less time frame & may we received visa grant soon ☺ Edited March 7, 2016 by Zoya Khan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddy Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Good Day everyone I need help, nomination and Visa applied by the end of July, so far still waiting, status application received. Already sent email to DIPB three weeks ago but no reply. Is there anything I can do to make sure my case is not been left out? Isn't it strange that my case has already took more than 7 months but still waiting to be opened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our agent also advised that there is a possibility that the 457 can also take up to 12 weeks. For all that extra money and maybe a month or so sooner. Not sure if it is worth it but definately know the feeling[emoji31] Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khem Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Dear All, my 457 visa has expired but I have lodged 187. On the time of 187 application bridging visa was granted.

JuanitaA Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 It's so difficult to make a decision or know what the right decision is at the moment. There is just so much as risk. Our agent is saying 30 days for 457, provided there are no questions asked and apparently we can try apply for priority processing for 457. I hate living in limbo like this. My biggest concern is that if Immi keeps on with the 7-9 months that they currently on, then our Nomination will only be processed between May-Jul and our visas around Aug. That after the initial feedback from the MA (when we started the process) was that all should be done by May as a worse case scenario. Hi Juanita, we also wanted to go for the 457 in the meantime but our employer doesnt want to.Our agent also advised that there is a possibility that the 457 can also take up to 12 weeks.

2015DEC187 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 We are in exactly the same boat, we were worried that the employer would withdraw the nomination as the agents also assumed that this would be finalised by April at the latest. Even told me not to bother not to enroll my child in school here as he would only miss a small part. Luckily I didnt listen as it looks like he might almost do the whole first year before we can move to Aus. Is there no way to ask for priority allocation on other visas like 187? Why only 457?
