We are only looking at a 2 week holiday but it will be sods law we will be out the country the wrong 2 weeks!! thanks again I heard if you travel this slows down your application process that is why I postponded my travel last year untill this year I am on graduate visa too.But to make sure ask with your MA are you using a MA if not ask to the relevant processing centre just send an email they will tell you which processing centre you are applying?Regards, Edited March 18, 2013 by RBP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks for your reply.

We are only looking at a 2 week holiday but it will be sods law we will be out the country the wrong 2 weeks!! thanks again No, you just let then know you are going and if it happens to be that it would be granted while you are away, they just wait until you are back in the country. The thing which would be more of a pain is that they issue you with bridging visa a when you apply (although it doesn't kick in until your 485 expires). As soon as you leave the country you loose that so if it looks like your visa won't be granted until after your 485 expires you need to fill in a form to reapply for bridging visa a. Good luck.

tiji Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi Blossom, Do you have any Idea when My visa will get granted. My Timeline. Application -21st June 2012 Ack - 29th June. Visa - 857 High Risk Country. DRC applied through MA I am waiting for a long time now. When I asked my MA they say they cant do anything about the wait time.

Visa app today hi mates, I don't get it ... What exactly means ,,nomination approved'' and after what does DIAC approves?? My understanding is that PRCB is the nomination and it is approved after the employer receives the RCB approvement (after all the docs lodged and situation at the moment of lodgement). The approvement at the moment of CO allocation means they look again at the actual business situation? I mean, they're searching if the position nominated is still available or they judge based on docs at the moment of lodgement of nom ???

DutchmenwaitingforPR Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi all, Look at Parramatta!!! 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: [TABLE=class: ecxMsoNormalTable] [TR] [TD=width: 189, bgcolor: transparent] Processing Centre [/TD] [TD=width: 189, bgcolor: transparent] ENS [/TD] [TD=width: 189, bgcolor: transparent] RSMS [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=width: 189, bgcolor: transparent] Parramatta [/TD] [TD=width: 189, bgcolor: transparent] All Cases Allocated [/TD] [TD=width: 189, bgcolor: transparent] All Cases Allocated [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=width: 189, bgcolor: transparent] Melbourne [/TD] [TD=width: 189, bgcolor: transparent] All Cases Allocated [/TD] [TD=width: 189, bgcolor: transparent] 1 April 2012 [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=width: 189, bgcolor: transparent] Perth [/TD] [TD=width: 189, bgcolor: transparent] 29 June 2012 [/TD] [TD=width: 189, bgcolor: transparent] 7 May 2012 [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] 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. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
