Genghis Khan Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Genghis, your timeline is in the spreadsheet twice... The filter was turned on that is why you could not see your timeline. But it is in there. Twice now! PS : Just fixed it for you. Thanks, getting myself in a pickle again! Panic over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackiedoherty66 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Jackiedoherty and Rkeanu, you should have a look at the below document and add your timeline to it too.It will give you a fair idea of the current timeline. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqjcLelabWLPdEFBbEc1LW4tbl9vc0FRQjVpcGJ4NEE&hl=en#gid=0 Without an agent, I think the 5-7 months timeline is the average. With a (good) agent, it is between 1 week to 1 or 2 months. Thanks very much, i added my details to it also, I look to have a bit of a wait as Melbourne office told me that they are only round to the June 2011 Applications :-? Here's hoping they get through the backlog asap as soon as possible cos i applied on 20/12/2011 :err: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genghis Khan Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Guys, can anyone advise if Form 80 is required for 856 visa application. We both have clean police records. We will both submit Aust police checks, UK police check (me) and Colombian police check, with certified translation (her). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ymxiong Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hello guys, I lodged 121 visa application for a University postdoc position without skills assessment (nomination approved on 22 June). Do I need to do skill assessment after lodging application? Are there anybody to get application granted without skill assessment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mansawant Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thats strange...I know people who lodged app at Melbourne in Dec'11 and have received their visas already. I think the each case has different processing time as it depends upon your profession (job title) as well. ..Mansawant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Girl65 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi , We arein the same boat, both waiting for CO in Melbourne have you contacted them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lilimary Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think the each case has different processing time as it depends upon your profession (job title) as well. ..Mansawant I have applied in October in Melbourne and have my visa now, but it is also a case of whether your application is lodged as DRC or not. In the end each case is different sadly, very hard to give an approximate timeline. You should go by DIAC advises and get ready for a 5 months wait if you are from an ETA country (7 for non ETA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genghis, I know my agent made us filled form 80 (we are from France and with clean police checks). Although I think it is not required, the agent was just being very pedantic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackiedoherty66 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I haven't contacted them to see if a caseworker was allocated yet, does anyone know if they confirm when a caseworker has been allocated or do you just need to wait to hear if they need something from you?

Guest lilimary Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 For Melbourne updates, send a blank email to vic.pse@immi.gov.au and you should get an automatic reply soon after. Check your spams though! They usually update the automatic reply once every fortnight, sometimes they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lilimary Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 This is the reply I got from my mail to the above address. It looks like the centers are still working on the huge number of applications they received at the end of June 2011 (fees went up at July 01). I am sure it will move faster as soon as they get over that unusual load. Parramatta Centre of Excellence (COE) ENS cases which were received on 14 June 2011. Parramatta Centre of Excellence (COE) RSMS cases which were received on 26 August 2011. Melbourne Centre of Excellence (COE) ENS cases which were received on 30 June 2011. Melbourne Centre of Excellence (COE) RSMS cases which were received on 1 August 2011. The Perth Centre of Excellence (COE) ENS cases which were received on 21 July 2011. The Perth Centre of Excellence (COE) RSMS cases which were received on 14 November 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Girl65 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 ow often should you contact your agent to find out if they have heard anything regarding your appliaction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lilimary Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 A good agent will contact you on the same day they hear from DIAC. They certainly will not leave you hanging. So you should not have to ask. It is their job to keep the information flowing both ways... But if it puts your mind to ease, you can ask him every fortnight or so. EDIT TO ADD: Girl65 I just noticed that you applied less than a week ago!! This is a bit early to ask your agent about news from DIAC. Give it at least another week, or maybe 3. Since your application was lodged as DRC, you will soon receive an email telling your nomination + visa has been granted. You just need to wait. Don't worry....

the_whites Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hi all, my nomination is no over 7 months and not heard a thing. I am from the UK and so low risk. The question is, has anyone else been in the same situation and emailed/called DIAC and then been assigned a CO? Sorry, another question, is the seven months from nomination or application? My application went in two weeks after nomination. Thanks all Mike Hi Mike Stick an email to DIAC with an urgency request. Thats what we did and two days later, they started processing the visa. PM me if you would like a copy of the one we sent Su Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikewheble Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hi Su (The Whites) I think I will as this is getting crazy..was going to do it last week but then I thought, na, leave it another week. I am going to ring them tomorrow afternoon as I'll be at home as all my furniture is being delivered tomorrow...Yay...at last I think the email idea is worth following up. Hope its all going well for you guys?? Have you done your overseas trip yet?? Regards Mike Hi Mike Stick an email to DIAC with an urgency request.

Got there on the Mon night and received our letter on the Tue am. Could have saved ourselves a shed load of cash if we had gone for the day All settled in now, got a long term rental, but still waiting for the container to clear customs. Three weeks now!! Not sure if the minimalistic look is a good one or not haha. Hope you get some good news soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
