Hex Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Esad.I said: Hi all, Have a generic (common) question and apologies if it has been answered already (tried the search, no help). Nomination was submitted mid March and visa application mid May and my question is, from when does the countdown start? Is it from the nomination, application or something else? Thanks @Esad.I I'll answer as straightforward as possible here: - Nomination countdown starts from the nomination lodgement. - Visa countdown starts from the visa lodgement (however, this cannot be granted before / without the granting of the above mentinoed nomination) The order is: Nomination reviewed --> (possible updates requested) --> Nomination Approved --> Visa reviewed --> (possible updates requested) --> Visa granted. - I've excluded the negative possibilities, as we all know what they are (we don't need any negativity) Edited February 19, 2019 by Hex 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungie Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hi All, Hope all well. My low risk 186 TRT application was applied for on the 28th Feb 2018 using an immigration lawyer. I know the wait is long so I'm hanging in there. My agent requested more docs from my employer and payslips from myself, however I haven't heard anything since. I checked my immi portal and didn't see any messages to my agent requesting these details.. should I see anything in the "messages" section? It's been over a month since I sent the docs. I've even requested more police checks due to the expiry, I've emailed my agent the last 3 days with no reply, I'm getting very annoyed with the lack of response. Has anyone experienced this before? Am I entitled to request all comms between my agent and the immigration department? Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also renewed Police checks, I've asked my MA to follow up with IMMI on the 1 year anniversaru but he hasn't replied either, I too am equally annoyed by the lack of response. As far as I know, when IMMI request information, you will receive a s56 which should be visible in your messages section of your application, unsure of what it looks like on the Nomination/MA side of it. Will keep an eye on this question. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thanks Hi My MA did the same - just means they are on top of it as documents you would have supplied at time of applying would now be a year old. So it is good that your Agent is keeping your application up to date. Any requests from Case officer to MA you will see in the messages section of your IMMI account.

Many Thanks Because he/she try to make your application decision ready once CO open your file they will ask all the uptodate documents and your waiting time gonna be long again if your MA ask you your payslip and BAS in every 3/4month he/she give 100%effort to make your application decision ready that’s the reason there is thousand of MA who just lodge application they never open and upload any document some MA even don’t upload documents which already sent to them be happy at least he/she care about your application cheers Edited February 19, 2019 by Rhitesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momo bey Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 1 hour ago, Hex said: @momo This could mean any of many things: - Medicals were updated and files are being updated - Files / documents could have been updated (by either you or MA) - Immi updated the application (if this is the case, there should be something in "Messages") - Also possible (apparently) but something I've never seen (only heard from this forum) is that a automatic process occurred on your application and updated your application. My suggestion would be to check if there are any "Messages" on your application, if not - check if there are any documents updated / uploaded. Failing which, you could ask your MA if they have any ideas. Hi Hex, Thanks your reply. Medical files were updated last year in September 2018 by my MA. Neither me nor my MA did an update since September 2018. So, i wonder what it could be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondered what other peoples experiences are with agents, I'd at least expect the docs to be updated and an email reply for a > $3k service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bips22 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Giving my heartbreaking news here. My visa got refused today. The Nomination got approved but, 186 DE visa got refused. The reason being, The CO, did not find my previous work experience of "Cook" relevant to the position. Some of the businesses had shut down, hence I could not get reference letters from all of them. So those experiences did not count. The PAYGs or salary transactions are also not getting into consideration. I have been here for 10+ years now, since 2008. And this now !! Myself and my family are devastated. My Agent knew about this, but she says Why didn't I inform about my work experiences to her three years ago. I don't know how could I have informed her, when I did not know this issue. No point arguing with her now. The skill assessment were okay with my work experience, and they approved it, yet Immi did not accept that. Now My ma is suggesting to go for TRT stream because I have completed two and a half years on 457. I don't have the heart or anymore strength to go through the ordeal, all over again. But, I think I will be in a better mental state in the next few days.. I applied 457 in 2016, 186 DE was applied on June 2017. So the CO did not take into consideration my work experience, after June 2017. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't understand the part about your Agent asking why you did not inform her? What did you not inform her about?That the businesses you previously worked at have closed down or that there are no reference letters? If it's about reference letters, did she not notice while uploading all other docs.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
