My MA says that i have to be physically br in Au to appeal to any decision in 28 days. And the bridging visa b would allow me to come back in. My main concern is this what they call "immigration clearance". Not sure what this is but according to MA, this is the only thing that they cant rule out.Ā 

I need to go to overseas for a week and i dint want to live a nightmare on the way back.

I am on bridging visa B and I went overseas two weeks ago. While it's good to be careful, you can't stop your life either.

Here is the page on what immigration clearance is: http://www.border.gov.au/Lega/Lega/Form/Immi-FAQs/what-is-immigration-clearance

Just ask more details to your agent so you can feel better while travelling overseas.

Just adding something: it is good to be prepared for the worst but try to stay in a positive mindset - I know it is hard :-)

It is super frustrating but at least someone is looking at it. Have you or your MA contacted the deparment for a status update?
Has your nomination been approved?
I personally got super happy two days ago just knowing someone is looking at it. I think it's important to celebrate each step that brings us closer to an final answer.

Can't agree more, man
I was exactly the same with you back to 3 months ago. I made several calls and my MA as well. The answer is that they are doing their job, and be patient.
My nomination still pending, not knowing the reason.
We give them all they need.

That's really annoying. I am so sorry.

They are understaffed, I think it is the main reason for the delays...

Sometimes I wonder if there are specialised CO in certain occupations.

For example, imagine there would be an equal number of CO specialised in each area (Marketing, ICT, Hopsitality, Engineering, Health, Education etc.), if there are more cases for certain areas (such as Hospitality and Marketing), then those CO would have more workload and would consequently need more time to process the visas.

Making assumptions here obviously :)

I hope you will get a positive outcome next week :)

It looks like the end of last week saw more movement than the two first weeks of july - so fingers crossed.

just make sure you have all the docs updated. In my case I could get my visa on the first time that they opened my case in april. They will check nomi and visa at the same time! Thank you very much and good luck.
