Nantucket Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Nomination & visa lodged in June 2013 RCB approved in October 2013 massage therapist / melbourne processing center I have 6 years of experience included one year with the business which sponsors me. the only issue is that there was no ad for my position. And maybe I will need to prove that my diploma includes massages but it is easy. and it is a offshore application, so I need to leave the country next month and wait offshore.

IDarkIKnight Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Hi Guys I have followed this post for long time and I just have my Pr granted today so I want to share my timeline and hope it helps for those who are still waiting for their visa This is my timeline: RCB applied: 20/5/2012 Visa and Nomination lodged: 28/6/2012 last week rush in June RCB approved 17/8/2012 Case officer and request addition document: 5 May 2013 Nomination and visa Approved: 13/12/2013 Takes more than 1 and haft year Position: Store Manager at IGA And now I have facing the new issue. After more than 1 and a haft year waiting for the PR I worked for the nomination business but because my boss has finance problem so he is going to sell the business I think will be within this month The new onwer has his own staff so he wont keep me with him But I actually can get the manager job in other supermarket. This is the worst situation ever, now if I notice the DIBP they would cancel my visa. So bad right guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIAC want you to stick to regional area and in intended job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) RSMS 187 Visa (Direct Entry stream) granted today Scientist, Australian undergrad degrees, 1 year work experience. High risk country, non-decision ready application, no agent, Melbourne processing center. [Friday] 15/11/2013 RCB lodged and approved on the same day [Monday] 18/11/2013 Nomination approved [Friday] 29/11/2013 VETASSESS skill assessment submitted [saturday] 30/11/2013 Visa lodged online [Tuesday] 17/11/2013 Skill assessment approved. CO requested for medical within 5mins. [Wednesday] 18/11/2013 Medical [Friday] 20/11/2013 Medical cleared online [---Christmas holiday---] [Monday] 30/11/2013 Visa granted! I have to say that I am pretty impressed with their efficiency - the visa application took 1 month exactly, including waiting for VETASSESS approval and the Christmas holiday period. I know some people get it within a couple of months while others have much longer waiting periods. Personally I figure that it depends a lot on your employer and the nature of your occupation. Immigration does state that they group visa applications to COs base on occupations, and therefore, the 'rarer' your occupation probably the faster the processing will be. Also, big creditable companies that have previously sponsored employees who stayed on in their jobs permanently after getting their citizenships will definitely help too. Best of luck!

Donut Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Thanks Yeah I asked the doctor (who was extremely nice!) when I was doing the medical and she said the new electronic system means that all the results are submitted online to the Immigration Department as soon as the they are available. So basically the medical part is uploaded right away and they just have to wait for the blood test and X-Ray results which should only take a couple of days as well.

Minch23 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks!:cute: I became Australian Qualified via RPL. I had to do a 3 day practical in Melbourne, then a load of paper work, then I was awarded a AQF. I did it to become more recognized by Australian employers. In regards to the 2 year thing, what is it referring to? Is it showing 2 years work experience post qualification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Sorry, I got the names the wrong way around. I meant to have any use to you preet89, you need to know if minch23 studied in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you study in Australia you need to show two years post qualification work experience. It sounds like you were exempt from this. I guess you did this job before coming to oz?

I heard we need two year experience for rsms. i just want to know if its true or not. if they didn't ask you for experience it means its not required.

Minch23 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yes, I have 15 yrs experience as a pastry chef, however, it was easier and cheaper for me just to do a AQF in commercial cookery, rather then pastry. As I said before, I mainly did to have a qualification which is recognizable to Australian employers. I was not given any notification of a case officer, and nor did I show 2 yrs experience, as I only got my AQF in Nov 2012. Sorry I can't be of anymore help then this.
