Guest caznphil Posted April 30, 2010 I am in exactly the same position except my IMO was cashed 14/4/10. I have not had any acknowledgement from Perth DIAC. The only reason I know they have received it is because of the IMO being cashed. I too have already sent the medicals and police checks... This is more stressful than selling my house!! Heres to waiting......:wub: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theonetruechris 242 Posted May 3, 2010 Submitted: 25/04/2010 Visa: ENS 856 onshore Nomination and application sent together: Yes Medicals sent simultaneously: Yes - Well i thought so. Proof of full visa meds done and mines been accepted as fine but not the spouse and child ones. But case manager doesnt seem to know whats going on and theres been quite a few emails to tell her how to do her job (following advice from immi and sydney of course) Police checks sent simultaneously: Yes I love the way they take the money within minutes of recieving the app. But fail to let you know what they need if anything is missing!

hybrid 10 Posted May 3, 2010 Hey theonetruechris... When you say "case manager", is that your migration agent or the case officer at DIAC? Cheers, Mike ENS 121 submitted 22/04/2010, approved 04/10/2010. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest KerryCraig Posted May 3, 2010 Wow KerryCraig - that's a long wait... I was under the impression that ENS / cat 1 is a lot quicker... Tell me about it!!!! apparently they say that you are supposed to get an answer within 5 months!! so our 5 months will be the 16th May, we will see!!!!! but they are struggling to cope, staff shortages........ so our agent has been told so will more likley be 7 months.......

HTH, Mike ours took 8 weeks altogether from acknowlegement that the nomination had been passed. The nomination took 3 weeks. So 11 weeks all in. We completed everything, even medicals, police checks etc before we sent it off registered post....except form 80 because we didnt know we had to complete it. Our Case Officer asked us to complete it and we managed to get it back to her within 24 hours. Once your Case officer gets assigned to you it means .... that quite literally they are on the case and should expect an answer within about 10-14 days.

Guest calvinated Posted May 20, 2010 Hi all, I've just started the process for the ENS 121, seeing as nothing much is coming out of my 176 application lodged in Mar 2008!:arghh: Currently in Australia on a 457 and we've just lodged the nomination application on 17th May at Paramatta. A bit worried as its a very small company, but I've been with them for 4 years now, and the business has been doing pretty well. Fingers crossed! Good luck all :smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
