Guest guest17520 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I got my nomination approved today! just got to wait for my application to be approved now. Lets hope they do it quickly! I'm going on holiday next Wednesday for 10 days so I am hoping that they will get it done before then - not likely though! Will keep you updated.

Guest guest17520 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Woohoo! Nice one... I make that 112 days to approval? When you go abroad, give DIAC a tinkle to let them know - use your client ID. Just in case they need to get hold of you... Cheers, M Thanks for the advice but I'm one step ahead - I put a letter in with my application stating that I would be going away and also sent them an email after I applied and they sent me one back saying that they are aware that I'm going away and that I don't need to tell them again. Really hope I get mine approved soon, been waiting so long :arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest whingingpom Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I lodged my 856 application complete with ALL required forms and extras around the 1st dec 2009 at the Parra Centre of excellence. Ive emailed and called them to see whats happening as i think 6 months is a bloody long time to wait (especially when i had to re apply after being told the wrong information by a DIAC team member and was 'advised' to withdraw my app over a year ago!). Ive been living in Oz for 10 years and have been on several 457's the entire time (dont ask!) Can anyone shed some light on this as i'm beginning to think its a personal vendetta against me for pointing out many many MANY holes in the Immigration depts application and processing system! HELP!!!! :arghh::arghh::arghh::arghh::arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffy Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 How do I get on the time line. O/H had nomination approved late Jan 2010, TRA was succesful 28/4/10 we submitted police checks, medicals and visa application on the 5/5/10 and had an e mail on the 6/5/10 to say it was recieved. We submitted at Paramatta and my O/H is being sponsored as a General Fabrication Engineering Tradesperson. Waiting for case officer if we get one? Going crazy looking at e mails everyday then every morning and evening now checking at lunch time too. Anyone have any ideas of how long? Ive seen its taken some people just 30 days I hope ours is the same. Cheers Fluffy:eek::wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest solinsyd Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hi there, Info requested is below: Country - UK Occupation - Solicitor Police checks were sent with the 121 Medicals - relied upon medicals sent in a previous 885, however I'll be getting new ones in a couple of weeks as the process is taking longer and longer... and longer....

Guest PommyRach Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 All seems a bit quiet at the moment - anyone have exciting news to keep us optimistic on processing times:smile: Latest from Pazza - Due to the demand driven nature of the program, the Permanent Skilled Entry network is continuing to receive large numbers of employer nominations and visa applications. This means that some applications being received through the NSW Centre of Excellence may take some time to be allocated to a case officer for assessment. Please be assured that all issues surrounding processing backlogs have been appropriately escalated. You will be contacted by a case officer within 2 working days of the employer nomination and/or visa application being allocated, with either an outcome for decision-ready cases or a request for additional information or documents. Until a case is allocated, we are unable to provide you with advice regarding processing timeframes. We apologise for all inconveniences caused as a result of the delays in allocation. Please note that the published service standards for ENS/RSMS cases is 5 months (ETA countries) and 7 months (non-ETA countries). Timeframes for processing an application vary from one case to another, depending on the individual circumstances of each applicant . The NSW PSE team are committed to providing you with an decision on your application within the published service standards. Clients are requested to explore other pathways, such as the 457 temporary business visa, for all urgent cases where the nominating employer needs the applicant to commence working in the position within the published service standards.

Ratchet Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 All seems a bit quiet at the moment - anyone have exciting news to keep us optimistic on processing times:smile: We got ours 1st June Our detailed time line -Employer submitted for nomination number 15th December 2009 -Number recieved 11th Jan 2010 - All paperwork collated with certified stuff and police checks -856 onshore submitted by hand to Melbourne business section @ Immi office, 23rd march - told i would be emailed in 7 days -I called day 8 to say i hadnt heard and then was emailed 2 days later by My case officer to acknowlege the app. -Didnt hear anything so emailed 4th May asking if there was anything else i needed to submit as i hadnt heard. Reply from CO saying not all medicals were there. Few phonecalls back and forth - my sons and mine from 457 were converted for the PR app, but hubby's was only for 457, so he had to repeat it and it had to be with the officer by 14th May.............It got there 13th may! -Case officer went off sick. 24th May emailed by another case officer and was told they they just had to merge some docs and would finalise ASAP. Visa granted 1st June. My advice - If you havent heard from the office within 10 days of submitting your application, get on the phone to them and find out whats going on. Especially since they take the money out straight away !!! If you havent heard after 4 weeks of acknowledgement letter, phone them again to find out the status. DO pester them..........
