blossom Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Are you from a high risk country? They do extra checks if you are and that can take months to sort out with your country. Nice pic by the way. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneh Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Jedepearl is from LR and DRC MEL, 29 June So Mel start picking last week of June DRCs Hope NON DRC start of June will be processed shortly. Last week of June NON DRC MEL, I think will be processed after July 2013 due to allocation limit of 16,000 applications for year 2102-13. ( Last of week June have close to 9,000 applicants and most of them in MEL) Hi move2 can you pls explain what is allocation limit is it 16000 for all over aus or Mel only then people from other state how they getting visa if RSMS visa cap over thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cap obviously hasn't been reached yet as visas are still being issued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneh Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 That number is for the whole of Australia. The cap obviously hasn't been reached yet as visas are still being issued. Thanx blossom and one more thing is that true Melbourne office stop grant visas . My agent email me yesterday that my visa might come in end July .

Move2 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Thanx blossom and one more thing is that true Melbourne office stop grant visas . My agent email me yesterday that my visa might come in end July . Thanx No, they are still granting visas, but focusing on DRC or easy cases (non HR MEL). otherwise so many people have to go Re-med and police clearance due to expiration. Hope they will leave 187 alone for some time and focus on clearing all the remaining 119/857 for saving hardship for these victims of time and regulations. My guess is DIAC is close to quota and go case by case. And they have to face budgetary constraints too due to end of financial year. But still hope for Miracle and wish you all good luck.

mrbangaram Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hi blossom, My ma agent has applied my visa as 119 in october 2011 and in december 2011 they went holidays for 2 months,in january 2012 i recived a call from immi saying that they were unable to reach my ma,said that there is a increase in visa fees from jan2012 therefore they need my authorisation to debit my card.now they have charged me for onshore application fees.in mid feb2012 co was allocated and my ma was back from holidays,co advised my ma to withdraw application as its not possible for them to process the application but my my refused to withdraw application saying that it was diac mistake and in april 2012 co told that the position which was nominated is not suitable to business and therefore said that we have to withdraw application or else she will refuse the visa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blossom Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Any ways of getting out of 857 quickly... Like what if i get citizen ship after one year..... do i still have to work for my employer..... My employer is flexible he is willing to help me in any means. That is a very good question. I'm sure there are many of us who would be eligible for citizenship after a year who could be hoping for that. One problem is that depending on where you live it can take months to actually get citizenship. My own personal, not knowing any of the legalities, opinion is that after you have that certificate in your hand you should be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginz Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 So this means they are not going to allot case officers to post July files,,,as there is lot of back log for pre july and also some one told me they have different team for post July cases,,Its all confusing now.. Originally Posted by hrbrt372 For the meantime they have re-prioritize into four groups ...probably until the back logs are all sorted out. Priority 1: Decision Ready, complete applications in ANSCO 1 & 2 occupations (by date of lodgement) Priority 2: All other Decision Ready applications (by date of lodgement) Priority 3: ANSCO occupations 1 & 2 requiring further documentation (by date of lodgement) Priority 4: All other applications by date of lodgement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
