dunken Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 yes you are right Katerina, its very frustrating.... waiting is not good for health. One thing i cant understand that how perth just moved from 18th of August to 2nd November in just 2 weeks time, amazinggg We can have a little idea from here that less applications gone to DIAC in months of August to November. hope Parra and Melbn will do processing, like Perth did.

Could be because of the visa charge increase from the 1 st of July.. Everybody was trying to lodge before that.. That's my theory anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK SANDHU Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hi everyone .. Iam just wondering howcome they havent mention visa subclass 119 in allocation dates column. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/estimated-allocation-times.htm. I can see visa subclass 857 which is regional sponsor onshore but i cant see visa subclass 119 which is offshore in this table. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-16.990866,145.411087 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunken Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hi KK, you did not saw properly, that is visa subclass 887 not 857. subclass 887 comes under GSM(general skilled migration) not Employer Sponsored Visas. You can only see updates of GSM visas on DIAC website. If you want to see updates of Employer Sponsored Visas, then send blank email to wa.pse@immi.gov.au and you will get automated reply after few minutes or you can also check my post on top of Page 68 on this thread.

dunken Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yes you r rght Katerina, i think it happens only because of increase in visa fee. Hopefully parra and melbn will do atleast all august RSMS applications until next update. But you see on DIAC website, almost all GSM applications are getting processed, even category 4 and we are in category 1, so funny. No meaning of making these Categories by Immi. Could be because of the visa charge increase from the 1 st of July.. Everybody was trying to lodge before that..

Guest tandcmum Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 have just submitted my RSMS 119 appication into Parramatta (police checks included but not medicals), expecting a long wait now i see, hopefully i will get visa in the stated 5 months though as i have to be over in oz before middle August or I will have problems with AHPRA as my eligibility letter expires then (do you think they take things like that into consideration?)

apc1 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 had CO for almost 3 weeks now but no update yet, I wonder what's taking so long for a decision. My app was lodged DRC last Oct 27 and got CO end of November. Is this normal for a CO to take more than 3 weeks from time of allocation to make a decision?

If your CO has to verify an aspect of your application it might take time. Or CO is on sick leave, not sure about holiday. I phoned them today and they informed me that they remain open all working days over the Christmas/New Year season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope my Co will make a decision by January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What additional info was asked? I haven't heard anything from CO. Not really sure anymore if my case was already allocated. My agent said it was DRC and that it was already allocated but it has been 3 weeks since the "supposedly" allocation to CO and nothing. No word from agent. He is not responding to my email.

Guest tandcmum Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 how long does it take to get an acknowlegment that they have received the application. It was signed for by a courier 2 days ago. Do they take the money as soon as they open the application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jo2004 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hi Undertaker88/apc1, We have applied for step 2 n 3, Melbourne office, application non DRC. Were asked to supply again new birth cert., passport copies. Also employer was asked to add some more deatails to form 1054. We have supplied all docs few days ago to our agent. So now we are waiting, what in fact is more stressing than waiting for CO apponitment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
