Guest gwenn Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Good Day Everyone. Does anybody know what will be the status of the baby born while parents are waiting for ENS 856 visa to be approved? Can they be considered as Australian Citizen? Based on the acknowledgment letter received, the standard processing time for this visa is 5 to 7 months. I am pregnant and due to deliver on mid of November. Kind of excited but hoping visa would get approved before I deliver my bub. Timeline: Application Sent to Melbourne DIAC by employer rep. - 30 July, 2010 Application Received and lodged - 03 August, 2010 Acknowledment Letter received - 05 August, 2010 Status: No case officer yet.

Guest monster Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 hi gwenn, that was quick. how i wish, i should have submitted my 856 application in Melbourne 'coz it seems that they process 856 very quick. Did you submit the nomination and visa application all together with meds and police checks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you submit the nomination and visa application all together with meds and police checks? Monster, Yes we submitted everything all together. We made the effort to complete the requirements upon submission to minimise processing and waiting period. Includes meds, ielts, police checks. I was actually anxious because our colleagues just took 2 days to 2 weeks after their complete application was lodged (that was a year ago though). Ours took a month, but not bad.. Very happy now.. I guess there are lesser 856 applicants here in melbourne. Best of luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember just last week you were worried about not getting any communication from them!! well thats the best communication to get from them :smile:. May I ask what is the profession you applied for? For me its exactly 1 month since I submitted but I'm trying not to get my hopes too high for now...I'm still looking at 5 to 7 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest elles Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hi everyone, I applied for my 856 on monday, was received by the department today so fingers crossed gets done soon. This is my 3rd visa as I had two 457s, I have already done two medicals for these visas, does anyone know if I can reuse my medicals for my permanent residency?? I have submitted all my documents so I guess I will just wait till they request my medical, (hopefully not at all). Anyway hope to hear from someone soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alinit Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 202 days and finally got my PR. Very happy. They will get to you, although it messes with your brain, it will come. 202 days and I am told "that really isn't a very long time to wait" so hang in there. :jiggy: Hi Pommyranch, Could you tell me if you use an immigration agent on your application? I applied my visa 5 months ago without an migration agent and I am still waiting... :wideeyed: I started to get a bit worried now, but I sent all the documents required and sent in person to immigration in Melbourne office. Can someone tell me if the process is faster with a migration agent? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alinit Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi Elles. The X-ray chest is valid for 12 months. I reused mine as I had to apply to 457 twice. However, you need to do the other tests (blood, etc). Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizzy27 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 When did you app go in? And at what office? Ours were submitted together in July 10, allocated a co in march 11, then there were a few delays on our sponsors part, & it was approved in may 11.

narib150 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 hi i have not lodged my application yet,becoz we are waiting for the emloyer nomintion approval first..it was submitted in parramatta cbd.my agent has advised me not to submit my application till we got approval.

lizzy27 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Ours took 9 months for a co. You probably haven't even got a co yet in parramatta. Once the nomination is approved and your app goes in, it's probably another 6 months to be allocated someone. This is why most ppl submit together instead of one after the other cuz it doubles the waiting time. What job you in? Not trying to dishearten you. It Is a long wait, but it always does happen.
