bellehuang Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 hey sahara77 congrats and i applied at 26th april non drc, could you please share with process centre you applied to ? so happy to hear this from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiechef Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Yes, you are right. Maybe people get bridging visas and then have to wait to find out if the nomination has been successful. Better to have an over cautious employer than one who isn't bothered though. :-) Hi SonicBlue, Ā thanks for all the info you have posted; i just want to enquire if the RCB advice is a must? did you apply through a direct entry stream? thanks. looking into applying next week as have jus talked with my employer and they are ok with it. i have worked with them for only 3 months. thanks.

Application is decision ready as in police checks and meds provided. WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG ?

blossom Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 no - not through an agent Then it isn't decision ready. Only agents are able to lodge decision ready applications. One of the reasons for paying the rather high fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Sorry for the late respose! Yes, according to Booklet 5 (Employer Sponsored Migration (permanent)) from DIAC, the RCB assessment is required. And yes, my application was under the Direct Stream. Ā "A nomination made under the RSMS Direct Entry stream cannot be approved by the department unless an RCB has provided their advice in regard to the application.

I sent an enquiry to vic.pse@immi.gov.au on Thursday night and they forwarded my enquiry to my CO and my CO replied to me on Friday... He said he is still assessing the nomination, so he hasn't yet assessed my (visa) application. I really hope it doesn't take much longer...

cundyoz21 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Hi, Ā Just want to ask about attaching documents in visa application online. Is it just a simple scan copy or it needs to be certified first prior scanning? and also how do I know if my application is decision ready or not? I will lodge a visa online in 2 wks time.By the way I will be lodging on my own. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonasdog Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Timeline for us - May 2012 - Employer Nomination Approved Sept 2012 - Visa Application submitted April 2013 - Told under new Visa Sub-classes our Employer Nomination does not match our Visa Application Stream - Cancel Visa Application and ask for refund April 2013 - Re-submitted Employer Nomination Acknowledged April 2013 - Visa Application submitted - 187 Temporary Transition - All documumentation/medicals included so effectively DR application. May 2013 - Visa Approved - Original fee refunded Ā As much as DIAC can be a nightmare to deal with I have to say they pulled through for us in a way that was unexpected and a pleasant change from the apparent 'norm'. The CO was very helpful regarding the cancellation, refund and re-submitting of the Visa Application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
