hedecan Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 May I get some of information from you valuable friends ? Thanks Hi All, I am holding 457 Visa and my Agency suggested me to apply for 856 Visa which is Permanent and it allows me to work with another company wherever I want. I've got couple of questions. 1 - There is anyone who applied and got this visa then could change the company straight away ? 2 - For this visa Is it requirement to increase the current salary according to the rules ? 3 - For this visa It's better to work with agency and pay roughly $3000-$3500 or possibly to do all stages byself ? I would be appreciated once I receive any answer from whom been in the same situation and has a knowledge. Cheers !!!! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck everyone and thanks for the reassurance Lilimary :biggrin: Very happy for you!!! What a great feeling isn't it??? :-) Hope you get to celebrate over the week end!! For those asking, I paid around $3k for my agent and he helped me through the whole process and made sure everything was bullet proof. Very happy with his services, although at time I was thinking he was being very pedantic lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ymxiong Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Since DRC can get Visa granted much faster, why there are so many non-DRC visa application? is there any trick or risk inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest taylorvillas Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Since DRC can get Visa granted much faster, why there are so many non-DRC visa application? is there any trick or risk inside? I would assume its a cost plus time factor, my company insisted on me using an agent as they want to ensure there are no issues with the process. I had to pay around 2.5k, but as I am impatient I am glad I did this. I still had ages to run on my 457 but I wanted the PR for security with the rules changing so often.

jank Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Since DRC can get Visa granted much faster, why there are so many non-DRC visa application? is there any trick or risk inside? Well DRC has no guarantee and with DRC you must use an agent. So does getting your visa approved in 1-2 month worth the extra $3,000 as doing it yourself will save you that but may take a few months more.

Guest taylorvillas Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I am Tracy btw, easier said than done but hang on in there and I would not call immigration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Girl65 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Do you think calls get tracked ?not going to call again!congrats again I bet you are going to have a good weekend celebrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lilimary Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Do you think calls get tracked ?not going to call again!congrats again I bet you are going to have a good weekend celebrating The question is not if calls get tracked or not. The real question is : does calling immigration get your application processed faster? Obviously the answer is.... no. Calling too often would just wait your time, your money and most importantly DIAC time. Instead of processing applications, they are answering the phone calls ;-) Seriously Girl65, you have lodged a few days ago. I believe it might be perceived as a tad indecent to be that eager when some people here have been waiting for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest taylorvillas Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Girl365 I would say let your migration agent call if your app is not looked at in a timely manner, for drc I would say that's 2 months. My app although quick was around a month and my employer are a big known sponsor which would have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xJox Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Girl65, i lodged the same visa as you - DRC 119 also in Melbourne. I got acknowledgement of receipt on the 10th of Jan and i haven't heard anything yet. I have wanted to call my migration agent everyday but i haven't called her once because i know that as soon as she hears anything she will be in contact, i would just wait, i know its hard, but for a migration agent, the best part of their job will be getting in contact with you with the good news so I'm pretty sure they will contact you as soon as they know something. We are very lucky we have been able to lodge decision ready - we would be be waiting a hell of a lot longer otherwise!so just try and be patient, the more you are worrying and thinking about it the slower the time will go!

Actually DRC is worth the extra &3000 in comparison with the extra 5-6months for non-DRC. If so many DRC, I think it will jam in the center too. Regarding to the frequent changing of policy, DRC might be the best choice to avoid time-wasting and unnecessary worry. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jank Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Not too sure about that. Non DRC applications have come back as fast as 3 months. DRC is a bit of a money making operation for MA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_whites Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hi all,Well, after waiting for nearly 7.5 months I sent an email on Sunday evening to Immi requesting my case be looked at and I have just seen that I HAVE A CASE OFFICER...I feel like I have won the lottery!!! So, next steps...I will give him a call tomorrow morning (not to early in case he got out of the wrong side of the bed) and see what else I need to do in order to get the visa moved forward. Thanks to The_Whites who have been fantastic, LiliMary and all others who have helped with support and advise so far. I know it's not over yet but I can see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. All I need to do now is to work out how to change my signature to update it All the very best Regards Mike Absolutely brilliant news. Here's hoping for a nice quick decision so you can shoot off to NZ for a couple of days and celebrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikewheble Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Absolutely brilliant news. Here's hoping for a nice quick decision so you can shoot off to NZ for a couple of days and celebrate. Hi Su and family, I spoke to the CO today (Saturday) and he has asked for a couple of bits for clarification and so I am trying to get everything done for later this week. I have said to the CO that we will go offshore when the decision is ready and so will nip over to NZ. Hope everything is good with you guys?
