Guest sandie Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I lodged both my nomination and visa application last November. And from DIAC finally called my employer yesterday requesting more information. Hopefully this is a good sign. At least they are looking at the file. If the nomination is approved, how long does it take for the Immi to start looking at my visa application? Thanks, Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too must be careful and will ask my migration agent what needs to be done. I am on-shore but applied for RSMS 119. I cannot remain off-shore for more than a week due to work commitments within the company. If you were are in a similar situation, what have you done about it?

nicolac34 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm quite confused by the timelines everyone has - are they taking longer because they are offshore and non-DRC? My agent said that DRC Onshore RSMS applications are taking 2-4 weeks to be processed at the moment. Is there any evidence of that from the people on here?

Hi, Many on the forum who have submitted DRC applications have got their visa faster than non DRC. My DRC nomination took 8months to be approved. I am hoping my DRC application does not take that long too! I am onshore and have submitted a DRC application at Melb last week. I think being from a low / high risk country plays an important role too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illegitimate convict Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Once an application is submitted as Non DRC it cannot be changed to a DRC application. After a second letter an appeal to have my application changed from non-DRC to DRC, the request was approved. Application was submitted 20 Oct and approved 22 Jan (would have been end of April as a non DRC). Also heard of a pregnant applicant making a request and approved. Exceptional circumstances it is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
