Nafanya Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hi Guys, When you check your Nomination or Visa application on immi it has a field called "Last updated" does it mean at least something? Like somebody is working on your application if dates are getting changed? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the date has changed (good sign), then something on your application has been updated. - Typically if there's something changed that you need to be aware of, there'll be something waiting for you in the "messages" section of the application. Also, it may / may not have updated the "status" of the application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When does my Bridging visa end? If your application is granted, your Bridging visa will end and your new visa will become active. If your application is invalid, refused, withdrawn or has an outcome from a merits review decision, your Bridging visa will end after a specified period of time.

Mine was lodged 2 days prior to 482 expiry date. The moment you lodge a 186 Application, you will be issued a bridging visa. This bridging visa will come in effect after expiry of your current visa.

Hex Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Could I suggest to please update your signature with your timeline / application status (similar to mine - see below). This helps others when viewing / answering questions. You can update this here: https://www.pomsinoz.com/settings/signature/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does DOHA explain the increase in processing time?? Since I have been waiting it has gone from 4-7 months to 4-9 months to 6-12 months to 13-17 months. I can't quite understand and then people putting through applications in January in the same occupation are being processed. I know you shouldn't compare applications as each one is individual to your circumstance and the employer but I just really want to understand this.

It all depends on your CO and how "expired" the requested documentation is. Luck of the draw I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more curious just if the update date change really means something or if immigration officer will put in internal memo something like "postpone for another 6 months" this date also will be changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
