Guest nutkhut Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Well I for one am hacked off at the lack of movement from Melbourne. I understand there may well have been an influx of applications before the 1st July changes but not to move ONE DAY since Oct 17th is absolutely ridiculous. Auswannabe, where did you submit your application? What I dont understand is how some nominations have been approved which have been submitted after these processing dates, non DRC, when ours hasnt been looked at all? Can anyone shed any light before I combust?? YEA MATE I AM VERY MUCH CONFUSED AS WELL ... i am from 4th july and still waiting WHTS GOIN ON only thing regarding to my case pops up in my mind it tht i am from PAKISTAN thts why ITS BEEN delayed for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone shed any light before I combust?? Ok, I submitted at Perth and called them today to ask again about DRC prioriry. The lady I spoke to appeared to be very knowledgable on the subject. She explained that non-DRC apps go into the 'normal' pile. They are attended to in line with the fortnightly updated date. DRC cases are often assigned to COs early, but not always. She basically told me that if Perth is quoting say, 23rd June, then non-DRC from that timeframe won't be even looked at until then. However, I have seen a few non drc apps go through in 3 months. The representative couldn't explain how this can happen and said it is very rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest auswannabe Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 We should start posting our occupations here too. For example, a recent 'quickly processed' grant was for a bricklayer. Aus currently has a shortage of highly skilled trades people and a Bricklayer would fall into that category, so maybe they process those apps more quickly?

the_whites Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 My Husbands occupatiion is Office Manager. Nomination and application lodged together non DRC on 29 June. No sign of any processing yet. Can anyone advise why the nomination part would not be looked at? Is this because they were lodged together? I have seen other nominations lodged and approved after this date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can i just mention that i was experiencing the same thoughts and i even had concerns that my nomination had failed. i.e. My nomination was lodged back on 12th June and i lodged my application late October but i NEVER received confirmation that my nomination was approved.

Guest lilimary Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 auswannabe/the wites, do you have examples of these visas/nominations that are non-DRC and still processed faster than everybody else? I did not notice any, so just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest auswannabe Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 auswannabe/the wites, do you have examples of these visas/nominations that are non-DRC and still processed faster than everybody else? I did not notice any, so just curious The spreadsheet (page 258) shows that a few non-DRC apps were processed quite quickly at the beginning of the year, but not since the backlog. Chris&Mel subitted in october and were just granted but they are RSMS, so take priority. DIAC lady said that MRAs should state that DRC apps in no way guarantee early approval and can take the full 5-9 months (I thought it was 5-7???). However, non-DRC apps are rarely assigned to a CO earlier than the prescribed date but it can happen. I should note that my nomination part was submitted separately non-DRC and was approved as quickly as most DRC nominations as far as I can tell.

Guest Undertaker88 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hi everybody, I lodged my non_DRC application RSMS at Parramatta and received Acknowledgment letter on 2nd September 2011, but siince then there is no news whatsoever, so is there anyone lodged application as me but receive Coe yet? would love to get any advice. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lilimary Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hi Undertaker88, There is another thread that discuss RSMS applications. http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/92786-rsms-timeline-59.html Here we are all waiting on/discussing ENS applications I think you are better off asking your question there, as ENS and RSMS do not have the same priorities in processing. PS : waiting since Sep 02, is not very long at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lilimary Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 My DRC app went to Parra on 26th August and a CO was allocated almost 4 weeks ago now, but not heard anything yet. That is right, the CO should either ask for more information, or take a decision. In case of a DRC application, the later is usually true since you are supposed to have submitted all the documentation required upfront. Maybe your application has been allocated to a CO, but he has not come around to have a look at it? What is your RMA advising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote an email complaint to them last week as their communication has been poor. My director is following up with them now as well. Basically I figure its in a pile with a CO, awaiting to be looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically I figure its in a pile with a CO, awaiting to be looked at. Sounds a bit sus. As someone else mentioned, I thing your CO is supposed to contact you with decision or request within two days. Maybe see if DIAC will confirm it over the phone. I find them quite helpful, although they may refuse to tell you anything as you have an agent.

Guest Finchy84 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I dont think they will tell me anything over the phone, so not sure what I can do really. Can someone post the link from the DIAC website about what happens when a CO has been allocated, cant seem to find it myself... Edit: Just been told that the Nomination Approval for my role has come through, so apparently my visa should be shortly after now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NataLibera Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Does anyone know, maybe from someone else's experience, how many days it takes to get the 121 visa on your passport in Auckland once you have your visa granted by DIAC?
