But I've also seen a few cases on here, where people were waiting nearly 2 years. I believe there is a few factors; Size of the business, have they sponsored someone before. Small businesses with low revenue / staff generally get looked at in greater detail. A lot of Hairdressers I assume work for smaller salons. Hair Dresser is a ANZCO Level 3 Skill Job, and so the qualifications required to meet the Skill level e.g. a AQF Certificate / equivalent, which is available at college level may come from a bogus institute (more common than you think). Not to mention there is many variations of AQF Certificates, depending on which country you obtained the certification in. In comparison to a ANZCO Level 1 - where you need a Bachelor Degree, and so the Institute is generally more well known / more clear cut. Thus, further investigation into the college / qualifications might be necessary, especially if from a HR country. Many other factors come into play also, but these are two that stand out for me. As you are TRT, and so have already had your 457 approved, this should help, as they've already approved you for that role, rather than a DE applicant. This is a great answer - not much more I could add other than, I'm certain a hairdresser is considered as HR (High Risk) for many factors - most explained by @Whites.uk You'll need to sit tight and "expect the worst, hope for the best", that way you can't be disappointed. @Andytomas It's also worth noting that (as already mentioned by @sydneyishuk), you are still within the frame (I think they are still on March ATM). - Don't let the exceptional cases confuse you.

Yes, I come from a 457, so they already looked all the documents before they approved my sponsorship. In addition, the business where I’m working, it’s not very big, but it has been opened since 20 years already. So, this should help immigration to understand that is a solid business. Am I right?

My suggestion would be to stay positive and worry only about your own case - you could get granted within a month and there could be circumstances that make you wait another year.

They walked around spoke to other employees about me.With my boss. They asked, How did he hire me. When. Duties and responsibilities everything.checked companies documents.i was on a leave. So they called me and asked everything about my job. Duties. My salary. How I get paid, how much. My annual leave. Sick leave. Am working overtime. Who else are working. Everthing about my job. 20 mins interview.and in the end asked me about my bank statement where I get paid.Totally grilled everyone. Good luck mate. Hope and pray everyone passes through this time and gets their residency. May I ask you before they came to your workplace, did they give your employer a notice about when they will come? Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can this help? “It’s down to the nomination details within the application”. What does it mean? Sorry thanks @Andytomas With all visa's on this type - you have 2 applications. 1. Nomination: This is your company's application to sponsor you. This contains details of the company and is basically asking the department to "let them sponsor you" - This would be based off many factors, like companies finance / profit - loss etc. (everything related to the company). 2. Your Visa: Once your companies nomination gets approved (this is always the first step), then the department look at your visas details, to "grant" you access. What I meant in my last comment was that was that; You need to wait for the nomination to be approved (which is the "company's application") and only then start wondering when you'll be getting some feedback on your application. As I said above, you need #1, before you start wondering what's happening with #2 Hope that helps explain it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for a start, your friend who has an occupation on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) - and your occupation doesn't appear there. Occupations on this list are sometimes processed quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When shall I arrange medical check? Thank you very much for help. Best practice is to have an application 'Decision Ready' when submitted. Due to the cost of medicals and their 1 year expiry date, some MA's recommend doing it a little later down the line. As you applied in September, I'd look to arrange one soon.

Franflb Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hi everyone! My company got the accredited sponsorship status after they applied for my 186 visa. Would that affect the processing time of my application? I read that the processing time for applications submitted from accredited sponsors takes less time but my application was submitted before my company had this status.
