Perthsunshine Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Congrats with your PR - it's nice to read some success stories :-) Hi ALL, I just got the visa! and my case should be really rare, look my timeline. my time line was 6 June 2012: Nomination and visa application lodge 7 June : acknowledge letter received 14 june: nomination approved and visa granted Did you officially get a CO appointed or didn't you get any information between the acknowledgement and visa grant?

kayperth Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Congrats with your PR - it's nice to read some success stories :-) Did you officially get a CO appointed or didn't you get any information between the acknowledgement and visa grant? I had not heard anything from my CO. I guess, my CO gave the visa straight away when she opened my case. She didn't need to contact me in any case cos the application was completed one.

Guest zools Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hi all, Here's my timeline and some background info: RSMS 119 (offshore), done myself without agent, thus non-DRC, Perth, occupation/position Zoologist, low risk country. Last visa held: 574 (PhD in Zoology, completed 2011) 485 (GSM Skilled Graduate) application lodged October 2011, on bridging visa A, then B since 05/11/2011 IELTS: July 2011 (av 8.5) Medical: October 2011 RCB nomination lodged: November 2011 RCB Perth nomination approved: 28/02/2012 COE Perth nomination lodged: 27/03/2012 COE Perth acknowledgment letter: 05/04/2012 (said that processing currently takes between 3 and 4 months) COE Perth nomination approved: 11/05/2012 RSMS 119 application lodged: 15/05/2012 (lodged in person in Perth with all documents, incl. police checks and medical in sealed envelope etc. and checklist) RSMS 119 application acknowledgment letter and payment taken: 25/05/2012 (Fri;said current processing times 5-7 months) Pre-grant notification from CO: 30/05/2012 ! (Wed), not asking for any further docs, only that I have to leave Australia within 28 days and return before 20/07/2012, and to let CO know travel details once arranged (same CO as for nomination). Provided CO with travel details: 14/06/2012 (Thurs) Left Australia: 17/06/2012 (Sun) Visa granted: 18/06/2012 (Mon at 9:09 am!) Yay I guess I was very lucky in terms of processing time and my CO who was very nice and helpful and replied to any email within hours. I don't know why it was processed so quickly, but I did put in a lot of effort to make sure my application was complete and easy to assess (checklist, table of contents etc). FYI: My friend and colleague also applied for RSMS but ONSHORE as her 485 was granted in March. All her details are the same (location, low risk country, education, position/occupation, company, previous visa/visa appliations, dates of COE nomination granted and application lodged). However, she has received an acknowledgement letter but hasn't heard anything since, have my fingers crossed for her! Cheers and good luck to everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest twister Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hi all I just talked to my MA and he said that "DIAC seems to have reached the quote for RSMS approvals for this financial year. I believe most of the visas now will be approved after the 1st of July". So after 1 july, might be we all who waiting get a good news....finger crossed....

sunny2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Anyone waiting for RCB to come through from perth office? Please share your date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I am just thinking what would happen if the rcb does not come through before 29th june and it comes after it. Will be there any kind of leverage given to those applicants to apply for RSMS visa on old rcb certification like SMWA has already announced a transitional period for rcb applied after 8th june. Very grey area at the moment.!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Waiting Patiently Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hi Pomsinoz members, I am new to this forum, I have been following this thread for a while now. I have decided to join the forum and post my timeline: Our's is as follows: Subclass 119 Visa: Non - DRC Application Lodged (Perth): 9 November 2011 Acknowledgement letter: 15 November 2011 Case officer assigned: 21 February 2012 Case officer requested extra docs from sponsor Submitted extra docs to Case officer: 15 March 2012 Decision: Know waiting............... We are using a migration agent. We think the CO's all say the same thing, we also were told the he will look at our application this week, well this was 5 weeks ago. Last week Tuesday the migration agent phoned the CO again, now he was it hospital for a few days. Don't know what he will say next. We are already over the 7 Months mark as the acknowledgement letter stated. The MA said they can start putting pressure on the CO now. Lets just hope for some good news soon. Is there anyone with a similar timeline? Regards Waiting Patiently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are from South Africa, according to the immi. website South Africa is high risk, so i guess we just have to wait! What is your timeline jacob88 cant seem to find it? I'am sure if I look further back I will find it ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
