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.

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.

hi All, My employer has applied for RCB a week ago in geelong area. how long will it take to get approval? presuming if they apply visa along with nomination by end of Feb, how long would you reckon to get CO allocated. So confused after going through the threads.

 

My application will be DRC, high risk country, for Production/Quality officer.

 

what would be the probability of getting the visa approval?

 

All the best for all that have been waiting for long.

 

Cheers

I think your RCB would take about 1-2 months. Then your nomination takes about 3-4 months if you apply separately from your application.

But if you apply together, with the current processing time for high risk countries it would be about 10 to 12 months.

I'm DRC -HR - and applied by agent on 14 May 2012 & still haven't heard anything yet.

 

hope this info helps!

Hi All Good morning.

Just wondering that how often DIAC update the timelines?Thanx RBP

 

There is no assigned time or date on which DIAC updates the timelines, when ever the manager over there feels like it it gets updated.

They should really assign one of their staff to update the timelines on a weekly basis, that would stop a heck of a lot of update request calls to their call centre.

From http://www.immi.gov.au/gateways/agents/pdf/faq-ens-rsms.pdf

 

The FAQ was written in June 2011 by the looks of it, so it may or may not be accurate..

 

Q. What is happening with the applications currently in your pipeline?

We are working hard to reduce the time taken to allocate cases from our pipeline for processing. The time taken to allocate cases has been declining in recent months.

 

The time taken to allocate cases from our pipeline can be obtained by sending a blank email to a processing centre mailbox. This will generate an auto response which will contain details of current allocation timeframes. This information is updated on a fortnightly basis.

Cute! then riddle me this why did it take them around 3 months to give us the last update.

I'm quite sure none of the dates or timeframes they give as 'service standards' are even remotely accurate, but I doubt they would update more frequently than once per fortnight at the best of times, so no need to send blank emails for updates every single day.
