Andy2015 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Finally got an update from my MA. On Friday last week (11th March) my nomination was approved. So 14 months down, hopefully not too much longer now. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankyou @Ramanjaneya This was coincidentally discussed the other day as well. Similar issue where the person didn't meant the 3 year requirement. From memory, they had to withdraw and reapply as the visa should never have been submitted (not meeting the 3 years requirement) as they never met all requirements. I'd suggest you confirm with an MA and act quickly. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he told me that. @Woidy I would suggest you contact your MA and ask for them to elaborate a little for you. - I assume, however, that you are likely in the initial / further assessment phase.

If you change roles, you'll likely drop off your 457, and move onto a TSS VISA. If your new role is not on the Medium-term stream, you will not qualify for the 186 TRT, and if it is, you now must wait 3 years instead of 2 before you can apply. If you have been in your current role, on or before April 2017 on a 457 VISA, you should qualify for 186 TRT via the Grandfathering Arrangement. I'd think carefully and consult an MA on your situation. Edited March 12, 2019 by Whites.uk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so frustrating. two roles are related and my 457 were granted on March 2016 under grandfathering. it is just too much concern that there is something wrong if I get promoted! Who else would do the same role for more than 5 years! I have been at my current role for 4yrs! I just don’t understand the procedures when immigration set up the rules! Too buggy!

Too buggy! @bigbasin I, as well as many others had similar situations. You need to weight up the good with the bad, I simply couldn't and didn't want to risk anything. My opinion is to get the PR (no matter what it takes), then work on your possible promotions etc. Unless, it's within the same scope, in which case - you could typically still change. You need to judge the risk Although frustrating, i'd rather have a PR than a promotion that could cause my PR to be rejected, meaning I would lose my job and rights to live here 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyone knows if I should upload the receipt or contact the department to tell them that I have paid? Thanks. Hi huchshm I am now waiting 2 weeks after paying vac2 (within minutes of request). I hvnt seen any case on this forum where any other doc was requested after vac2 invoice. It seems there is no pattern as to how much time after Vac2 payment the visa will be granted. I hv uploaded the receipt in my immi in "other" docs. Plus the status is still showing "recieved" for me.

itbk Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Hi everyone, Yesterday we've got our PR! Here is the timeline: We applied for both nomination and visa on 28th of February 2018. We've got our nomination approved on 22nd December 2018. On 11 January 2019, we've been requested information regarding Indonesian police check which we updated the following days. On Jan 31st CO contacted MA and said he received documents and sent to the 3rd party to check. We've got our PR on 11 March 2019. My wife currently out of town and I can not wait for her to come back and celebrate! I wish everyone good luck and patience. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
