Guest natalie1985 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Just been searching google to see if there is anymore information out there. Found this: RSMS Visa Applications Australia 01072012 The volume of applications lodged in the last weeks of June required staff to focus on receipting applications. For most of the thousands of applications received we still need to: enter the case into our systems; assess bridging visa eligibility; issue acknowledgement letters; and create case files. We expect that these tasks will take most of July 2012 to complete. If you currently hold a visa and this visa will expire in July please ensure this is highlighted in an email to us (our clients) so we will liaise with DIAC, so you will not be an unlawful person. DIAC has indicated to us that they will seek to ensure that the bridging visa is decided as quickly as possible. NOTE from DIAC“For all other June applicants please wait until at least August to make any follow-up enquiry about your application. We cannot respond to progress enquiries for these applications before then.”Applications lodged with DIAC post-1 July 2012From 1 July 2012 all applications must be made online. Applications can be e-lodged. We note that applicants may experience any difficulties with this process. VIC Processing Times as at 6 July 2012 To receive receipting information and acknowledgement letter: Six Weeks. Enquiries for applications less than six weeks from lodgement will not be responded to other than via this automated resonse. If your situation is urgent (eg your visa is expiring in the next two weeks) please email using the email heading URGENT VISA EXPIRING ../ ../.. or URGENT BVB Required for Travel ../../.. We are currently allocating applications for assessment in the following time frames, Parramatta Centre of Excellence (COE) ENS cases which were received on 14 December 2011 Parramatta Centre of Excellence (COE) RSMS cases which were received on 15 December 2011 Melbourne Centre of Excellence (COE) ENS cases which were received on 2 December 2011. Melbourne Centre of Excellence (COE) RSMS cases which were received on 16 December 2011. The Perth Centre of Excellence (COE) ENS cases which were received on 21 May 2012. The Perth Centre of Excellence (COE) RSMS cases which were received on 4 January 2012. Once your application is allocated for assessment, you will only be contacted if further information or documentation is required in order to make a decision on your application. Please be aware that the Department may make a decision on your application without requesting additional information or seeking further input from you. If your enquiry is unrelated to ENS or RSMS, we are not in a position to help you further. It was a a legal website, but thought it may be useful to some people! Although I think it is looking on non DRC given the dates in Perth as January!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest w79661 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Thanks for sharing. Actually I am so shocked by the status from Parramatta office. Parramatta Centre of Excellence (COE) ENS cases which were received on 14 December 2011 Parramatta Centre of Excellence (COE) RSMS cases which were received on 15 December 2011 Dose this mean ENS and RSMS lodged in Parramatta office have to wait for more than 8 months?

SunshineAndSmiles Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 To anyone waiting to hear from Parramatta and hasn't seen the new update, here is a section of the quote below. 10-12 weeks is their estimate for Decision ready cases to be allocated - a BIG difference from 2-4 weeks which was quoted in June but at least it gives those of us waiting to hear from Parramatta a sense of timings. 9 weeks for me this Friday - though I probably shouldn't get too excited YET LATEST UPDATE – 23 August 2012 Applications lodged with DIAC in the last weeks of June At present we are trying to resolve how we move forward in the most efficient manner with the volume of cases we have on hand, but we are in the process of recommencing allocating cases from our pipeline. However, the volume of cases we have received has impacted on our capacity to allocate cases within the timeframes previously stated. In June we went from having about four months of processing work on-hand to close to nine months. Accordingly under normal circumstances clients might expect to wait for nine months for their case to be allocated if lodged in late June. Certified DecisionReady Applications The issue of volume also impacts agent certified “decision ready” cases, where we also have several months worth of cases to allocate. This cohort of applications remains a first priority for DIAC but sheer numbers of applications received means that allocation to case officers is taking 10 – 12 weeks at the moment which is considerably longer than our usual published time frame of three weeks to allocate to a case officer. Please be assured that we are seeking to allocate cases as quickly as possible but please do not make current status requests unless your application is outside the allocation timeframes outlined later in this message. We thank you for your patience during this busy period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We thank you for your patience during this busy period. Applications lodged with DIAC post-1 July 2012 Information about the new subclasses (186 and 187) can be accessed via the following address on the DIAC website http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/ From 1 July 2012 all applications must be made online. The e-lodgement link can be accessed from the following page on the DIAC website:http://www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/ens-rsms.htm Whilst the Department’s online systems may work on other browsers it is recommend that you use Microsoft Explorer or Firefox. This is to ensure that they can use the full functionality of our online services. At a minimum you should be using: Internet Explorer - Version 8 or higher (Note: Must have the current patch for IE8) Firefox - Version 11 or higher GChrome - Version 11 or higher Safari - Version 5 or higher Important: Users may be required to change their browser settings to enable the use of DIAC online services. This includes enabling Cookies and JavaScript. Further information is available on the website See: http://www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/browser_problems.htm When commencing an application you will note that there is a 'Print' option on the bottom left hand side. Selecting this option will render a PDF application form with the standard questions and any answers entered. This can be selected at any stage through the application process. In addition to this, clients can save the application at any time once they create an account after page 4. All pages leading up to this point relate to your personal bio data information, birth, passports, relationship status, other names and citizenships. This is standard on any departmental form. The online form is interactive, meaning based on your individual circumstances and answers to specific questions the form will expand to capture additional information. If you answer 'yes' to a question you will be required to provide further information or evidence to support that answer. As stated once saved, clients can logout and return to the application at any stage. The processing centres are not in a position to assist you with e-lodgement issues. If you are writing about an e-lodgement difficulty please not expect a response other than this auto reply. If you experience any difficulties with this process please ensure that you are familiar with the material at http://skillselect.govspace.gov.au/ The Service Centre, on 131 881, can also assist with any issues you may be having with lodging applications online. NB: ENS and RSMS visas have been branded, and located on the DIAC website, within the SkillSelect group of Visas. This does not mean that clients need to use the actual SkillSelect system to lodge ENS and RSMS visas. SkillSelect would only be expected to be used where an employer wishes to nominate a person they have identified through their expression of interest on the SkillSelect system.
