As his agent is nut case and asking for 5k for AAT.What he means to say is it worth taking risk?Is it hard to put case . Owner is supportive and can go AAT on hearing. Kindly suggest. I was just talking about this with my partner. We feel like that if you are a bit smart you can actually do it yourself. We feel like the money a lawyer ask for what he/she does is a joke. Maybe ask for an initial consultation but I would definitely prepare the case by myself if there is (I hope not) a next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cippalippa Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 If you feel like it is more reassuring using a lawyer, hire a proper lawyer and not an agent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayjay16 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hi everyone, I am new here and would like to ask if anyone in the same situation with me. My employer applied AAT in October 2017 and my visa application on November 2017. Early September 2019 my employer got a request for more docs letter from AAT ( recent financial docs) we submitted within 1 week. After that, 6th October they sent out a date for my employer nomination’s hearing(15/11) and then today they againrequested more paperwork ( evidence of my salary, bank statement, tax returns). And they want it to be submit before 25/10. Is it normal? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they want to see you if your employer Pays you as manager pay ( correct payment). If he has been paid you for last 2 or 3 years , then you should fine.

Just wait for your moment, at least the hardest period is over. Applied for AAT on 4/2019, I think I will wait until 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if the termination of 187 in November will make them speed things up, otherwise they will have to remember way too many rules for processing and they can hardly keep up with the existing ones. The amount of mistakes they make is mind-blowing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPham Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hi everyone in this same boat here, I am just wondering if I can contact Aat how much longer for my case to be appointed. I lodged from May 2018 and still no news whatsoever. My 2nd 187 application as a cook in Perth submitted in April 2017 and after more than a year Immi refused without requesting any documents. Reason being business can’t afford to pay me for next two years (anyone I told them about my case they laugh the sh** out of it because I have worked fulltime and been paid 54k a year for the last five years) Any information regards to current processing time would be helpful.

The current (based on the last 6 months) processing time is 19.3 months. As of now you're sitting on 17.4 months. Calling won't help at all, or speed up the process. Based on the numbers your application should be open in the next 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is on the aat website average processing time is 590 days but it is the whole time your application should be finalised which means the case has to be accessed before a certain time frame. From what my MA told me, when aat access you case and request for more information they will allow you around two months to prepare it. I don’t know if there is queuing system in place or not.

That's just the average meaning individual cases will still fall below and go over that number of days. Regardless, if calling them helped everyone would be on the phones, not on this forum.

They only give you 2 weeks to provide requested documents. Not 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
