Applications declared as

“Decision Ready”

by registered migration agents continue to receive priority allocation. However, due to the unprecedented number of applications lodged in June 2012 we can not provide an estimated allocation timeframe.

 

If your application was lodged before the dates listed above please explain this in your email and we will respond to you as soon as possible.

 

We are working through our large caseload in the most efficient manner possible and thank you for your patience during this busy period.

 

Post 1 July 2012 Applications

 

Due to the large volume of applications lodged before 1 July 2012 our current allocation of e-lodged cases is limited.

 

At the moment our system is not readily identifying applications declared as

“Decision Ready”

by a registered migration agent. As an interim measure we suggest that you send an email to the relevant processing office mailbox advising that the application is decision ready with the TRN number highlighted in the subject line. Please ensure that the application is decision ready.

E-LODGED APPLICATIONS AND ENQUIRIES

 

 

 

We are currently experiencing delays issuing acknowledgement letters and bridging visas for applications lodged online. This is the result of a system limitation which requires the manual entry of the details of each application in our system. Please note that this also affects the time taken for your application to appear in VEVO.

 

When you complete an application on-line you will receive a Transmission Record Number (TRN) and confirmation of payment (where applicable). Please consider this as evidence that your application was successfully lodged.

 

The timeframes for acknowledgement letters, bridging visas and entry into VEVO are:

If your visa is ceasing

within twenty one (21) days of lodging your application (7 days for Perth) explain this in the body of the email and include the word URGENT in the subject line.

System Upgrade – 23 November 2012

 

A system upgrade is scheduled for 23 November which will automate the processing of acknowledgement letters, bridging visas and the entry of applications into VEVO.

 

Any application lodged after close of business 26 October will be held over to be automatically processed on 23 November 2012. If your current visa will cease during this period you should explain this in the body of the email and include the word URGENT in the subject line.

 

Attachments for e-lodged applications

 

We appreciate that there have been some challenges around e-lodging attachments.

All supporting documentation for e-lodged applications however should be uploaded through the e-lodge system as they will be automatically filed and linked to your case.

 

Attachments forwarded by other means have been known to go astray causing delays in the finalisation of the application. Please ensure that you are familiar with the advice around attachments on the DIAC website.

 

NOTE: The only documents that should be mailed/emailed to processing centers are those specifically requested by the case officer.

 

PROCESSING TIMEFRAMES

 

 

 

Once your application is allocated to a case officer they will attempt to conduct their assessment in the following working week. If a decision cannot be made quickly they will write to you and provide their contact details.

 

Please refrain from making general “status” enquiries to the case officers, especially where your application is within service standards.

 

There are a range of factors that can impact the processing time of an application, including:

- whether the application was complete at time of lodgement;

- how quickly you respond to requests to provide documentation;

- complications obtaining health clearances;

- if police checks haven’t been completed they may take significant time to obtain; and

- checks with third parties to verify claims made in an application.

 

The Department’s published service standards for the processing of ENS/RSMS applications can be found at:

http://www.immi.gov.au/about/charters/client-services-charter/visas/8.0.htm

 

While we attempt to finalise all applications as soon as possible, the service standards acknowledge that 25% of cases will be finalised outside of these time frames.

Hi Mate,

Short answer; there are a lot less ENS cases then RSMS hence the ENS line is already cleared and RSMS is still in progress.

Hi guys just got disappointment today nomination has been refused don't know the reason my employer just called me, whenever I ll Come to know I ll let share on pomsinoz. Thnx best of luck you guys ll get urs visa soon

Hi Jazzi87 sorry to hear that mate, after such a long and stressful wait. Hope for you that there are options available.

All the best

I did send an email to the department of Melbourne yesterday but they didn't reply me but only the auto response. What could I do?

If they do reply, it will take up to 5 days business days for a response.

yes, I SEND MAIL TO THE DEPARTMENT AND THEY GAVE ME CO STRAIGHT AWAY.

Would you mind copying and pasting your email to DIAC and their reply on the forum? (of course leave your personal details blank/hidden)

Thanks

Non DRC

Parramatta?

I do not think one should follow the timeline as it is just to give an idea. It is not 100% correct for instance i applied please see my timeline in the signature and i got the case officer. As per time line i should have been still waiting. So i will advise to leave it instead of following it up. I was following it up from last 6 months..the day i left following ..there you go i got the case officier.

Hi Sunny did you apply NON-DRC or DRC-READY?

Cheers

Hi guys new timeline please!!!!RBP

Mate, email "NSW.PSE@IMMI.GOV.AU" and let us know the current timeline.

Good luck.

Hi Mate,

Same here, Non-DRC Low Risk parramatta RSMS 857 logged 20/06/2012, no CO assigned yet.

It is so close yet so far away!

From http://www.immi.gov.au/gateways/agents/pdf/faq-ens-rsms.pdf

 

The FAQ was written in June 2011 by the looks of it, so it may or may not be accurate..

 

Q. What is happening with the applications currently in your pipeline?

We are working hard to reduce the time taken to allocate cases from our pipeline for processing. The time taken to allocate cases has been declining in recent months.

 

 

The time taken to allocate cases from our pipeline can be obtained by sending a blank email to a processing centre mailbox. This will generate an auto response which will contain details of current allocation timeframes. This information is updated on a fortnightly basis.

Cute! then riddle me this why did it take them around 3 months to give us the last update.

Hi All Good morning.

Just wondering that how often DIAC update the timelines?Thanx RBP

There is no assigned time or date on which DIAC updates the timelines, when ever the manager over there feels like it it gets updated.

They should really assign one of their staff to update the timelines on a weekly basis, that would stop a heck of a lot of update request calls to their call centre.

I am a happy man Per grant letter...

Congratulations mate!!!

guys, has anyone have any update for drc 187 application on perth office,

my time line is-

rcb approved-25/10/12

187 drc nomi+visa application-02/11/12

bridging visa + ack letter- 10/12/12

waiting for co...............

 

thanks

Hi Mate, You might be in for a bit of a wait, seeing that you application was lodged in Nov 2011.

I am still waiting for a CO and my application was lodged on June 2011.

So you're probably have another 5-7 months of waiting ahead...

Just spoke to MA about update on the application and what is going on, was advised that they have started receiving responses from DIAC for June applications, so hopefuly in a couple weeks most of us should get some response.

Pre-grant letter guys ...

Did you receive yours? in that case congratulations!!

hi, can anyone advise me i just recived pre-grant letter for 119 it that means my visa will definatly get grant after i levae australia or can chances to get rejaction too

Congrats mate you have been granted.

You clear please share your timeline and details!!

Hi All

Can you please advise how often does it happen that Immigration visits the workplace or contact employer to get more information in order to grant RSMS 857 visa?

Hi Rob,

Going by the reports here on the forum, it does happen but not often, it all dependence on your application and your companies statements.

What do you think might be the reason for them taking a closer look at your application?

I have applied on 28th of MAY no response from Immi.

 

i am really fed up with current workplace and hoping to resign but i patience again.

 

Please somebody tell me when my visa grant?

Okay, hmm let's see your visa will be ready at 14:30 today.

Applications declared as “Decision Ready” by registered migration agents continue to receive priority allocation. However, due to the unprecedented number of applications lodged in June 2012 we cannot provide an estimated allocation timeframe.

If your application was lodged before the dates listed above please explain this in your email and we will respond to you as soon as possible.

We are working through our large caseload in the most efficient manner possible and thank you for your patience during this busy period.

Due to the large influx of applications in June 2012, our capacity to allocate post July 2012 electronic applications has been affected. Decision Ready applications are a priority. We are currently allocating

e-lodged applications received July-August 2012.

Attachments for e-lodged applications

We appreciate that there have been some challenges around e-lodging attachments.

All supporting documentation for e-lodged applications however should be uploaded through the e-lodge system as they will be automatically filed and linked to your case.

Attachments forwarded by other means have been known to go astray causing delays in the finalisation of the application. Please ensure that you are familiar with the advice around attachments on the DIAC website.

Information/documents specifically requested by a case officer should be emailed directly to that case officer.

Once your application is allocated to a case officer they will contact you within 7 working days of your application being allocated.

If you have not been contacted by a case officer, and your application was lodged after the above dates, then it has not yet been allocated.

There are a range of factors that can impact the processing time of an application, including:

- whether the application was complete at time of lodgement;

Information about applying for ENS/RSMS

The processing centre is not able to respond to pre-lodgement enquiries. The following links to the department’s website however provide information about ENS/RSMS visas:

- Information Booklet No. 5 Employer Sponsored Migration

- Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186)

- Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (subclass 187)

- Skillselect

Note: While ENS and RSMS visas have been located on the DIAC website within the SkillSelect group of visas this does not mean that clients need to use the SkillSelect system to lodge an ENS/RSMS application. SkillSelect would only need to be used where an employer wishes to nominate a person they have identified through the SkillSelect system.

How to lodge an application

From 1 July 2012 all applications must be made online. The e-lodgement portal can be accessed from the following link on the DIAC website: http://www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/ens-rsms.htm'>http://www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/ens-rsms.htm

The processing centres have developed “document checklists” that highlight key information and evidence required in your application. These checklists can be found under SkillSelect on the DIAC website, or you can use the following links:

- Checklist for visa applicants

- Checklist for sponsoring employer

We encourage you to lodge all required information and supporting documentation with your application. A “complete” application will make the processing quicker.

Having difficulties lodging your application on-line? If you experience any difficulties with this process please ensure that you are familiar with the material at http://skillselect.govspace.gov.au/

You can also call the Service Centre on 131 881 who can also assist with pre-lodgment queries or any issues you may be having with lodging applications online.

We have had a number of clients follow-up missing acknowledgement letters where the letter has been sent.

A common explanation has been the clients junk mail filter as commonly used in Hotmail or Google. These filters may prevent legitimate emails from reaching your inbox. To ensure that you are receiving emails from the department be sure to check the settings on your junk mail filter.

At least on normal update on the processing times would be start, Paramatta has been stuck on 15th of May since November...

They also started allocating case off to july and august files...see melbourne immi email.

What they are saying is that the NEW E-logged applications that were lodged with the new system from 1st of July have been delayed processing due to the large old lodger pre July applications.

It does not mean that our pre July application have reach Juyl-August assigning

Latest RSMS timeline please?

Email nsw.pse@immi.gov.au and find out for yourself.

Hi Guys,

 

I finally received my visa grant notification this afternoon. I'm so relieved.

 

I originally applied DRC (low risk) to Parramatta but my case got transferred to Perth in October/November time. I had no contact with my CO, CO was allocated and visa and nom all granted today. I am an animal attendant/trainer on a cattle property in CQ. This was an exceptional circumstances case with experience rather than qualifications.

 

Here is my timeline:

Visa lodged 26 June 2012 DRC

Application acknowledged 3 July 2012

CO assigned/Visa granted 10 January 2013.

 

That's a 6.5 month wait but no questions asked, no phone calls, no visits etc.

 

Good luck to everyone else, hopefully thing will all start to move along smoothly in the new year! :biggrin:

That is great news, congratulations and thank you for providing your full history and application details.

Cheers

Hi,

Has any checked the DIAC processing times of late?
