SAJ.N Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Hi Guys, We applied in 2017 for PR in June (before changing rules and removing 457), 3 days before Christmas, they rejected our nomination because agent made a mistake with training documents. We had 457 visa till June 2018, and we applied again end of May 2018 for 186. Now we are on bridging visa and it's so stressful. Does anybody have similar situation?

sarahlouisesimpson Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Hi everyone! Just loving these new processing times I had a chat to my MA very recently and she let me know that most of her approvals seem to be coming through between 7-10 months at the moment. Obviously she cant tell me that will happen for me - but it gives me hope! Hope it might do the same for you (TRT, 2people, applied January) Wishing everyone the best of luck and hoping to hear some good news stories this week!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If once CO asks for further documents ,the story might be different my thoughts as well. It seems that the moment the CO asks for further documents, they put your file aside and move on to other cases until they finalize . I doubt that they stop everything the are doing just because the documents earlier requested have been submitted. which makes total sense why some cases could take over a year after submitting documents for the decision to be made. i wish there was any scientific explanation of how immi works urgh!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alibaba Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 17 hours ago, Frankiemark said: What’s the Audit? My owner was requested from a CO for a list of company docs to support the grant of my nomination,does it mean response will take 2-6months? In the end of the letter,there is position number of that senior decision maker? Can we contact them by the position number? That's not an Audit. Your CO requested more docs from the company. The audit is when an ABF officer makes a request not your CO to the director of the company from his email address and mentions categorically that this is a company Audit for 457 Visa holders, asks for the list of documents to be submitted within 14 days time frame. Your CO may or can request an Audit . Only your MA can ring and speak to your Case officer. Depends on the migration agents. some migration agents have the dept. direct numbers to be honest. You can't ring and ask for your Case officer as per my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for refusal was not enough financial documents provided. CO mentioned not sure if the company can afford me or not (btw company is 25 years old and have over $1.1million salary statement plus approx $100 million turnover. The company also given 457 to 4-5 staff in past). On 3rd of Sept 2018 they sent an email to migration agents for review of nomination can be sent to a new email address. The catch is If I don't get their reply within 21 days....only option left is to go to AAT. The company accountant took almost 10 days to send the financial docs to MA. My 21 days will finish on monday 23rd Sept. Not keeping any hope ...My MA is preparing for AAT. I am also planning to do another nomination. This whole bloody process will cost me approx $22000 including AAT cost and 2 applicants fee for doing nomination and visa all over again... already lost 10 months waiting for their nomination refusal.

Nora Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 It is not possible to estimate an individual application's processing time. The Department publishes how long the majority of applications that were recently finalised took to process, but it is a guide only, not a maximum or guarantee: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about/access-accountability/service-standards/global-visa-citizenship-processing-times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take time for sure. MY nomi was approved on 6 july and still waiting for visa granting. Once update to further assessment, CO put the file aside for a while. I tell you this waiting game will be gutted. I feel so frastrated since my nomi was approved. Passing stressful time. But good news is you are 99.99% sure your visa will come soon. Good luck to you mate ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VS01 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I submitted my ENS on 05 Sep with police clearance and medical which would expire in December. Does that mean I need to do them again looking at current processing times? Or if they should be valid at the time of submission only.

Better future for my kids including education, job and welfare when older aged. Thank you Kaz for the reply, I think we need to focus on goal rather than processing times.. I am equally anxious like many people (everyone got their own reasons) in this forum but one thing which is keeping me calm is "Hope"... when ever I see "received" I don't get agitated as its not "refused" which many people have received and are in more stressful situation than many of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SENJ Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi All, Is it ok to import application in our IMMI account? I asked my MA but he said NO. He never provide any update, no reply for emails. I understand he will update if application status will change. If we import application in our account, we both can see the progress. Please advise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
