so , can i apply as DRC 119 while i will be present in australia or i have to go outside to apply as DRC?

thanks.

Dunken! Our odds were unsurmountable. Lower middle class - not favourable finances, nearly at cut off age - 45, step-son nearly independant - 21, applied to 67 jobs - 3 interviews & 1 interest, had to get a sponsorship first. There were many times we thought it was never going to happen. The paperwork was hell! We made it by the skin of our teeth - both now 45 and our occupation was removed off the QLD short skills list just after we got our CO. But once it is done, one would appreciate it so much more. I thank God for a miracle and it was! Let me know for any advice. Best wishes

 

 

Thanks Illegitimae convict for your support and i wish good luck for future for you and your family. i really appreciate your help and you showing a path to lot of those people who stuck in bad conditions.. This whole process is like a fight and we have to keep fighting until we win it. Time pass and then we forget our whole hardship and can start life in a relax mode.

I applied for RSMS about 7 months ago and after 6 months, in March, i came to know that my employer is no more eligible for sponsorships, as he broke all laws of DIAC and already fired those 4 guys which he sponsored about 1 to 3 years ago, without giving them job for 2 years, which i was not aware of. Then DIAC came to know this thing and they put all files on hold from that emloyer including me. there is one guy, still working and waiting on his application from last 1 year on bridging visa on his 857 application. i wish good luck to him, then i decided to leave the job, without thinking anything, as i was holder of bridging visa from my 885 application, which can allow me to work anywhere... now i find another job.. hopefully, i will get sponsorship this time in a right way and time. Sometimes, i feel, life is very hard.. because i changed my whole life just for this thing...

Sad to hear the unfortunate events with the employer, there is always risk involved. Hope your new found job serves you well and your applications with DIAC goes without any problems.

hi Illegitimate convict, Can i please ask that how did you sent your application to DIAC ,through register post, courier or any other way???

I think this is also one of the factor that how fast you get your acknowledgement.....

Different sending ways make different acknowledgement times...

My last application was sent through courier and it took only 2 days to get acknowledgement.

Hi Dunken

 

My 457 was an online application and the supporting 32 documents scanned and attached.

 

My RSMS application was a DIY (from within Australia) and always sent either courier (Australian Air Courier Services) or registered post (AusPost). Always had a tracking number to follow up on the internet and the DIAC had to sign once received. This served as proof. Both were reliable.

 

For foreign courier I was very happy with DHL. Their tracking was excellent and service good. From South Africa to Australia it took about 4 days max.

 

Only ever lost one set of docs, but that was between Canberra and Sydney, a police clearance certificate, but admittedly that happened within the confinaes of DIAC. The Federal Police were amazing in sorting it out. My CO, strict but fair, was also good!

Any march DRC applicant got CO

Are applicants advised when a CO is allocated or is it just procedure? Our acknowledgement

letter states -

 

Certified Decision Ready applications will be allocated within 10 business days of lodgement.It is then anticipated that the case officer will assess the certified Decision Ready application

in the week following the allocation. If these applications are in fact decision ready, it is

expected that most will be decided within three weeks of lodgement.

Does this mean a Case Officer is already assigned?

Hi Jill

 

We received notice by the CO once they started. From how I understand it, a supervisor allocates your application to a CO and then below is an example of the letter I received once it reached this stage. My guess is you are between Supervisor and CO.

 

In reply please quote:

Client Name ***** ****** ******

Date of Birth (**/**/****,M)

Client ID **********

Application ID ************

File Number *********

Hi Veenameena

 

Just checked on all my emails from the DIAC.

 

Nomination was approved 10 Jan (sent to employer, not me, but employer forwarded email to me).

 

On the same day, the same CO made contact with me regarding outstanding documents.

 

There does seem to be a long wait. Phone them, if you can contact the same CO.
