Hello Guys

 

I just received a email from my MA that my nomination has been approved and case officer has been assigned.

can anyone tell me how long will it be take for the decision?

 

my time line is

centre : NSW

visa ack letter : 15th May 2012

 

I applied in Paramatta 119 Not DRC and have got the nomination approval on the 7th November. Since then no news.

Hi all!

 

I'm new here and I would like to share my timeline :)

 

DRC Application submitted - 18/6/2012

Acknowledgement - 18/6/2012

CO appointed - 14/8/2012

 

My CO asked for additional documents twice. I've also had people from the immigration visit my workplace and interview my employer in November. The last time I emailed my CO, she said my application has been sent for investigation by external agencies. Haven't heard from her since then but I assume there hasn't been any progress from the external agency/ies. I'm facing some problems now... School is about to start and my kids are waiting to continue their studies in Australia. One of my daughters is meant to be in her senior year in high school. My oldest one got an offer from the University of Queensland too. I live in Malaysia (a low-risk country) and the education system here is totally different to Australia's... Another problem is that my migration agent has moved to Canada and he has been ignoring my texts and emails. Grrrr! So frustrating! Is there anything I could do to improve my current situation? Any advice would be much appreciated! I hope there will be good news for everyone soon!

Welcome to poms in oz. your case does sound worrying. Is your agent mara registered? Sure moving is hard, but they still have clients they have a duty to. You are still within the time frames though. What type of work do you do? Their actions seem quite unusual. Good luck!

Hi guys,

 

I'm new to the forum, kinda in the same state as everyone in here though. Lodged my application in march through an agent (Melbourne office), received my acknowledgment letter on the 8th of march and nomination approved by the RCB on the 24th. Haven't been allocated a case officer yet.....its been a pretty long wait

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 cannot 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 electronically lodged Applications

 

 

 

Due to the large influx of applications in June 2012, our capacity to allocate post July 2012 electronic applications has been affected. Decision Ready applications are a priority. We are currently allocating

e-lodged applications received July-August 2012.

 

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.

 

Information/documents specifically requested by a case officer should be emailed directly to that case officer.

PROCESSING TIMEFRAMES

 

 

 

Once your application is allocated to a case officer they will contact you within 7 working days of your application being allocated.

 

If you have not been contacted by a case officer, and your application was lodged after the above dates, then it has not yet been allocated.

 

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'>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

 

The processing centre is not able to respond to pre-lodgement enquiries. The following links to the department’s website however provide information about ENS/RSMS visas:

 

- Information Booklet No. 5 Employer Sponsored Migration

 

- Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186)

 

- Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (subclass 187)

 

- Skillselect

 

Note: While ENS and RSMS visas have been located on the DIAC website within the SkillSelect group of visas this does not mean that clients need to use the SkillSelect system to lodge an ENS/RSMS application. SkillSelect would only need to be used where an employer wishes to nominate a person they have identified through the SkillSelect system.

 

How to lodge an application

 

From 1 July 2012 all applications must be made online. The e-lodgement portal can be accessed from the following link on the DIAC website: http://www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/ens-rsms.htm'>http://www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/ens-rsms.htm

 

The processing centres have developed “document checklists” that highlight key information and evidence required in your application. These checklists can be found under SkillSelect on the DIAC website, or you can use the following links:

 

- Checklist for visa applicants

- Checklist for sponsoring employer

 

We encourage you to lodge all required information and supporting documentation with your application. A “complete” application will make the processing quicker.

 

Having difficulties lodging your application on-line? If you experience any difficulties with this process please ensure that you are familiar with the material at http://skillselect.govspace.gov.au/

 

You can also call the Service Centre on 131 881 who can also assist with pre-lodgment queries or any issues you may be having with lodging applications online.

 

 

HAVING ISSUES WITH ACKNOWLEDGEMENT EMAILS FOR YOUR SUBCLASS 186 OR 187 APPLICATION?

 

 

 

We have had a number of clients follow-up missing acknowledgement letters where the letter has been sent.

A common explanation has been the clients junk mail filter as commonly used in Hotmail or Google. These filters may prevent legitimate emails from reaching your inbox. To ensure that you are receiving emails from the department be sure to check the settings on your junk mail filter.

For further directions please see the following links:

AGENT ENQUIRIES

 

 

 

 

Policy questions from Registered Migration Agents The Agents Gateway provides information for registered migration agents on visa applications, legislation, registration as well as useful links resources. An on-line form is provided for migration agents with complex policy or procedural questions. Registered Migration Agents should re-direct policy enquiries using this on-line form: http://www.immi.gov.au/gateways/agents/contact/feedback/'>http://www.immi.gov.au/gateways/agents/contact/feedback/

 

Please note that responses to queries sent to this mailbox will generally only be given on complex enquiries not already covered through legislation and policy documents.

 

 

ALL OTHER ENQUIRIES

 

 

 

If you have a general enquiry that is not about an application for ENS or RSMS you should consult the Department’s website http://www.immi.gov.au and/or ring the department’s general enquiry telephone number of 131 881. The processing centre is not able to respond further to your email.

Thank You

I have applied on 28th of MAY no response from Immi.

 

i am really fed up with current workplace and hoping to resign but i patience again.

 

Please somebody tell me when my visa grant?

 

You can't just resign, you are tied to that job for two years from when your visa is granted. If they don't believe you have made a genuine effort to stay then they will cancel your visa!

Hi All

Can you please advise how often does it happen that Immigration visits the workplace or contact employer to get more information in order to grant RSMS 857 visa?

 

Hi Rob,

 

Going by the reports here on the forum, it does happen but not often, it all dependence on your application and your companies statements.

 

What do you think might be the reason for them taking a closer look at your application?
