Guest smwarlock20 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Right, does anyone think it's worth phoning DIAC directly as I have a number for the case officer?? The situation is this..... Our tenancy here runs out in a few weeks, the landlady wants to know if we will be renewing or if she needs to look for new tenants, I don't want to sign for another 6 month lease. DP is now completely out of work, so no funds coming in but there's a job waiting for us in Australia. We have had a bloody awful year in this country, my 2 eldest daughters are not my partners children, and we found out that they had been subjected to abuse from their paternal grandfather on their fortnightly access visits to their dad. This has resulted in a criminal prosecution for their grandfather, and us fighting their father through the courts to the right to remove them permanently from the UK. We were led to believe by the migration agent that we should have had a decision by september/october time and should be well on our way by now. Our family out there have invited us for Christmas, and we're desperate to go, the girls are desperate for a fresh start and we want to see the new year in watching the fireworks over Sydney harbour, but the RSMS subclass 119 can only be granted whilst offshore so time is well and truly running out for us to get flights etc!! What would anyone else do, and the migration agent is proving ever elusive...... Hey pinkcera I feel sorry for you. Why don't you email DIAC and explain the problem and highlight that ,it's been more than 2 weeks that you have had CO.Aa far as I remember,he/she should grant a decision within 2 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Whoopseydaisy Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Got our visa yesterday!!!! What a relief! Lodged visa on the 19th July, offshore 119, not DRC. CO officer on the 22nd November. Hoping to book the flights asap and head over next month. Darwin here we come!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi cheznandi only migration agent can lodge your application DRC and not all of them do it. Katerina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Cheznandi. DIAC decide who is DRC or not. It is supposed to be a RMA (registered migration agents only) that complete a "decision ready certified document" at lodging. However a colleague and several users on the forum did not use any RMA and got DRC. If this happens it is pure luck! However, if solo, I suggest get the RSMS checklist from DIAC webpage complete it and place it infront of your application. To find out if your application is DRC or not, wait about 4-6 weeks (Christmas season might belonger) for a CO (case officer). If after 6 weeks you get no CO, I reckon assume its not DRC. If that is the case expect 6 months from the acknowledgement from DIAC of lodging your application (that is at Parramatta). What I have noticied, an email asking whether your are DRC or not, is immediately replied to by an automated reply (on some previous pages in the forum), but after 4 days a communication officer would say if its a DRC or not, but give it at least 5 weeks.

Hi Ywool, I am sorry about your troubles with the Vetassess, hopefully you will lodge first thing in Jan. we went for the medicals on tue, it was ok just weight, height, eye sight, ears, feeling tummy area , no questions asked.. Plus bloods and X-ray for adults It took 2 hours all together, biggest problem was the parking!!! Impossible :-( My 3 year old asked in front of the doctor if he is Santa , I said no he is not he is a dr why? Because he has big tummy like Santa...:-)) Fingers crossed Melbourne moved to August!!

Guest barbsh Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hi there, i had a job offer in March 2011, employer nomination was submitted the same week and was approved the end of April. Our medicals were done on 1st August, I posted our visa application along with police checks and all other documents they required on 9th August and we were granted our RSMS visa on 7th October 2011.
