Imagine this being said in spooky ghost voice:

'nobody knows'....

 

 

You may as well spin around blindfolded and stick a pin in a calendar. It would be just as accurate as what anyone on here could tell you.

I would HOPE you would have it by the end of jan, as you have been waiting a long time, but Melbourne is the slowest office. Are you also from a high risk country?

IMPORTANT NOTICE: OCT-NOV Bridging Visas

 

 

Due to system issues we are unable to grant Bridging Visas for e-lodged applications between the 27th of October and 23rd of November, inclusive of these dates. If you have a substantive visa that has already expired or require a bridging visa during this period, please send an email with the following subject heading "OCT - NOV Bridging Visa" to this email inbox. In the email, please specify the full name of the applicant, TRN and date of birth.

 

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

 

 

This mailbox handles enquiries about applications under the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) and Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS).

 

 

It is important that you read this entire email as it provides answers to many questions about ENS/RSMS processing. Please be aware that if your query is addressed by this email or does not relate to an ENS/RSMS application already lodged you will not receive an individual response.

 

 

If your enquiry is urgent and relates to an ENS or RSMS case currently with the Melbourne Processing Centre you can expect a reply within 5 working days.

 

 

 

 

ALLOCATION TIMEFRAMES

 

 

Pre 1 July 2012 Applications

 

 

The network is currently allocating applications for assessment as below:

Processing Centre

ENS

RSMS

Parramatta

28 June 2012

15 May 2012

Melbourne

8 March 2012

8 March 2012

Perth

21 June 2012

27 March 2012

Applications declared as “Decision Ready” by registered migration agents continue to receive priority allocation. However, due to the unprecedented number of applications lodged in June 2012 we can not provide an estimated allocation timeframe.

 

 

If your application was lodged before the dates listed above please explain this in your email and we will respond to you as soon as possible.

 

 

We are working through our large caseload in the most efficient manner possible and thank you for your patience during this busy period.

 

 

Post 1 July 2012 Applications

 

 

Due to the large volume of applications lodged before 1 July 2012 our current allocation of

e-lodged cases is limited.

 

 

At the moment our system is not readily identifying applications declared as “Decision Ready” by a registered migration agent. As an interim measure we suggest that you send an email to the relevant processing office mailbox advising that the application is decision ready with the TRN number highlighted in the subject line. Please ensure that the application is decision ready.

 

 

E-LODGED APPLICATIONS AND ENQUIRIES

 

 

We are currently experiencing delays issuing acknowledgement letters and bridging visas for applications lodged online. This is the result of a system limitation which requires the manual entry of the details of each application in our system. Please note that this also affects the time taken for your application to appear in VEVO.

 

 

When you complete an application on-line you will receive a Transmission Record Number (TRN) and confirmation of payment (where applicable). Please consider this as evidence that your application was successfully lodged.

 

 

The timeframes for acknowledgement letters, bridging visas and entry into VEVO are:

 

 

Processing Centre

Nominations

Visas

Parramatta

3 weeks

7 weeks

Melbourne

3 weeks

3 weeks

Perth

1 week

1 week

If your visa is ceasing within twenty one (21) days of lodging your application (7 days for Perth) explain this in the body of the email and include the word URGENT in the subject line.

System Upgrade – 23 November 2012

 

 

A system upgrade is scheduled for 23 November which will automate the processing of acknowledgement letters, bridging visas and the entry of applications into VEVO.

 

 

Any application lodged after close of business 26 October will be held over to be automatically processed on 23 November 2012. If your current visa will cease during this period you should explain this in the body of the email and include the word URGENT in the subject line.

 

 

Attachments for e-lodged applications

 

 

We appreciate that there have been some challenges around e-lodging attachments.

All supporting documentation for e-lodged applications however should be uploaded through the e-lodge system as they will be automatically filed and linked to your case.

 

 

Attachments forwarded by other means have been known to go astray causing delays in the finalisation of the application. Please ensure that you are familiar with the advice around attachments on the DIAC website.

 

 

NOTE: The only documents that should be mailed/emailed to processing centers are those specifically requested by the case officer.

 

 

 

 

PROCESSING TIMEFRAMES

 

 

Once your application is allocated to a case officer they will attempt to conduct their assessment in the following working week. If a decision cannot be made quickly they will write to you and provide their contact details.

 

 

Please refrain from making general “status” enquiries to the case officers, especially where your application is within service standards.

 

 

There are a range of factors that can impact the processing time of an application, including:

- whether the application was complete at time of lodgement;

- how quickly you respond to requests to provide documentation;

- complications obtaining health clearances;

- if police checks haven’t been completed they may take significant time to obtain; and

- checks with third parties to verify claims made in an application.

 

 

The Department’s published service standards for the processing of ENS/RSMS applications can be found at: http://www.immi.gov.au/about/charters/client-services-charter/visas/8.0.htm

 

 

While we attempt to finalise all applications as soon as possible, the service standards acknowledge that 25% of cases will be finalised outside of these time frames.

 

 

INTERESTED IN APPLYING FOR ENS/RSMS?

 

 

You will not receive a response to your email if your query relates to any of the following scenarios. Please refer to the following information and where applicable re-direct your query as instructed below.

 

 

Information about applying for ENS/RSMS

Plz someone tell me is it compulsory to leave Australia after 119 ggrant even u are on student visa

Yes, you have to be offshore at the time of grant of visa.

[blossom]

Plz someone tell me is it compulsory to leave Australia after 119 ggrant even u are on student visa

 

If you are on a bridging visa you can't apply for an onshore visa. When we were first looking at applying I was waiting for my 485 to be issued (took 18 months). Had I of applied then it would have had to if been the 119 visa. My 485 was granted though so then I could apply for an onshore visa.

 

I have no idea why anyone would apply for the 119 while on a student visa, unless they had a no stay clause in that visa. But yes, you still need to leave the country.

[rid1]

The rules of the RSMS onshore subclass 857 are that the main applicant must have completed at least a diploma qualification on their "current" student visa or you are holding TR (485). As soon as you have completed a diploma qualification on your current student visa you can proceed to lodge an onshore RSMS 857 visa application.

 

If you have yet to complete a diploma qualification on your current student visa then they will proceed to lodge an offshore RSMS subclass 119 application.

 

There is no difference between the two, the same legislation and processing time applies. The onshore 857 grants a bridging visa which comes into effect when you current student visas expire if a decision had not yet been made on your RSMS application before your visas expires, which would let you stay here lawfully until a decision was made on your RSMS. The 119 does not grant you a bridging visa and as such which you wait for the RSMS 119 to process you must continue to hold a valid visa. If processing times went beyond your current visa expiry then a student visa extension or another visa would need to be applied for to stay in Australia while awaiting the 119. In addition for the 119 at the time of the visa decision you need to go outside for 3 working days for the visa to be granted

Welcome to poms in oz. if they have not told you your application has been refused then it hasn't YET. Did you use an agent?

It doesn't sound good for you though.
