Illegitimate convict Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Same boat as you - 20 Oct. I reckon if we don't hear anything by Dec 1 we are considered non-DRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apc1 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Same boat as you - 20 Oct. I reckon if we don't hear anything by Dec 1 we are considered non-DRC. Did your agent say that your application was filed DRC or non-DRC? We almost have the same timeline. Lodged nomination 15 sept (DRC) and visa app 27 Oct (DRC). No news yet if nomination was already appproved. Emailed my agent but no reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illegitimate convict Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 A colleague did his by himself and after 4 weeks got it. To save money I followed the same. Many applicants (even on this forum) had theirs approved as DRC even when the applicants did not do it as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illegitimate convict Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Parramatta. If I don't hear anything by December 1 as a DRC then I am bracing myself for next year April as a non-DRC looking at 18 May applicants only be processed now!!!

Illegitimate convict Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Offshore. Lodged 20 Oct, if no answer by 1 Dec as a hopefull DRC (Parramatta will decide) then I am assuming April next year looking at the progress of non-DRC applicants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sandie Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hi all, I want to ask, can you send your medicals using the ehealth system even if your application is paper based for 119 RSMS? Thanks, Sandie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illegitimate convict Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Sandie, we wnet to a DIAC approved doctor (make sure about that) and they handled everything including sending it to DIAC. Not sure about EHealth but heard about it often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paulf55 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Afternoon all, I have just gotten my 857 visa grant today. Have posted it in new thread if you want to see timeline etc..:jiggy::jiggy::jiggy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris&Mel Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hi all, I want to ask, can you send your medicals using the ehealth system even if your application is paper based for 119 RSMS? Thanks, Sandie Hello Sandie, my medicals were in Manchester and i filled all the paper forms in for the same reasons you suggest for my 119 visa. However the medical team submitted our medicals via the e-health even though i didnt have a TRN number etc from the nomination as my nomination was approved at the same time as my visa. They emailed Canberra to get the required information so they could be uploaded onto the system etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illegitimate convict Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Paulf55: Glad for you, but if mine is going to take just over 6 months I am going to dry! If I could ask what was outstanding in your application (just to give me an indication as to non-DRC consideration) ____________________________________________ Nomination & RSMS Application acknowledged 20 Oct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ywool Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 :arghh:We are currently waiting for Vetassess results for Plumber..Have job offer in Bileola in Queensland and company are willing to sponsor us on permanent 119 visa. I know the next step is Company nomination and then visa application goes in. Not a lot of posts re timelines for 119 visa so dont know how long they are taking to process. I think we are in cat 1 or 2 but 457 visas seem to be processing quickly and from what I can gather they are in a lower cat than us can anyone please give us a realistic timeline for visa. OH is currently working here in Ireland but his employment finishes on 13th Feb 2012 would it be unrealistic for us to plan to be out in Australia by next April really confused as to what timeline we can expect and the fact that there are so few posts regarding the 119 and processing times thanks.........

Guest pinkcera Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Hey, The official line for RSMS visas is 5 months for a low risk country, 7 for high risk. Looking at the recents posts I'd say that they are a realistic estimation Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katerina Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Hi ywool, when we lodged our app we got a letter from DIAC saying that it takes 5-7 months for the visa to be processed ! ( low risk countries) That's from the date of lodgement and non DRC. Your application has to go through Melbourne office ( office for QLD) and Melbourne is currently processing end of JULY..!! What I've seen on this forum MOST people get CO in 5-6 months( non DRC) And now Xmas is in the way so I would say add another 3-4 weeks. But you never know , you might be lucky :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Undertaker88 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Hi Pinkcera & everybody, I am new to this forum, but just want to ask you that you applied in 29 June, and now got Co, but currently at Parramatta office they just said allocating cases which received on 18th May, so how does it work?thanks I have applied on 2nd September, so do have any ideas when i will get a CO, non-DRC application. thanks and Cheers for you, hope u get Good news very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illegitimate convict Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Our 457 took two weeks (no agent) to be granted. A colleague who applied for a RSMS took 5 weeks and many other members on this forum (no agent). If the person in Melbourne or Parramatta decides your application is DRC (not always agents) its within 4-6 weeks, if not 6 months. Parramatta are now only starting to look at non-DRC applications received 18 May. So if, like myself who submitted 20 Oct, I don't hear from DIAC within the next week, my application would be considered non-DRC and I can exppect a CO in April.

onepiece Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hi everybody, My wife's employer submitted our 857 nomination, last week. We are ready to submit our visa application now too but are considering waiting for until the nomination is approved. Anyone with any experience on whether submitting in stages like that adds a heap of time onto the total processing time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illegitimate convict Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hi Onepiece. Our nomination and visa application was submitted simultaneously. Colleague who had his apprved in 5 weeks did the same. Not sure what impact it would make. Looking at other forum members many seem to be staggered. Have a look at the end of some messages on past posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
