Guest ashish Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Any luck guys? Any chances of case officer being assigned for DRC applications in 10-15 days? If anyone with DRC got case officer assigned in 10-15 days please let me know. Good luck folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizzy27 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Ours was in parramatta but now is in Perth. I emailed Perth & was told I'd have a co in 3 weeks max. Might b worth checking if your app is still in paramatta. We applied in august last year. If hadn't of enquiried about it, they wouldn't have told me it's in Perth.

Guest kris2010 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Iam wondering if we can go out of Australia temporary for a month after application of 856 (Employe sponsored visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlecG Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Iam wondering if we can go out of Australia temporary for a month after application of 856 (Employe sponsored visa. As long as you advise DIAC of your travel plans and let them know when you have returned - it shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlecG Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 And also make sure you have a visa to return to Australia - not just a bridging A visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashish Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yes you can, but you need to apply for a visa to return back to Australia. Hope that helps! Cheers, Ashish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alimadge Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Iam wondering if we can go out of Australia temporary for a month after application of 856 (Employe sponsored visa. We did, we are currently on a 457, and went home for a month at xmas while we had an 856 lodged. Just told them of our travel dates, not a problem. Still waiting for our 856 though, getting rather fed up, our application was lodged on 9th Sept, nomination approved 10 December, heared nothing since.

Guest smilearchitect Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Iam wondering if we can go out of Australia temporary for a month after application of 856 (Employe sponsored visa. YOU CAN ENTER AUSTRALIA ON ANY VISA JUST MAKE SURE THAT VISA DOES NOT AHVE A 8503 CONDITION ON IT , WHHIHC MEANS YOU CANNOT CHANGE INTO ANY OTHER SUBSTANTIATIVE VISA ON AUSTRalian shores if a decision is made and it shall complicate your case if 8503 is their on your visa and if you planning to appply for a tourist visa/any other visa you cannot ask the officer /immigration NOT to put 8503 condition on your visa , you do not have a right to ask it. does this make sense?

Thanks. Iam applying for 457 visa extension to two more year by March as mine expire by June. so once I get the 457 visa extension I will be able to get back on 457. Is this advisable.

Iam finishing two year by June on 457 so planning to apply for 856 visa but didnt want a gap between the 457 expiry and 856 application. To be clear I will be applying for 457 extension now to fill the gap between June and the time I apply for 856 and once I get the extension then I will apply for 856. Is this good idea to fill the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smilearchitect Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 its a good idea however , if you start your documentation now via a registered migration agent and apply for a drc their is a possiblity you can go on a bridging visa instead of a 457 again to maintain your status in the country if you dont prefer a drama go for one more 457 , but make sure your 856 application is drc so that any decision on ur 457 can be superceded by 856 if a decision happens . kindly consult a migration agent to expediate ur case .....is my suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use a RMA? I am using True Blue Migration and they suggest that it will take an average of 3-5 months before the application is allocated to case officer. I have my application certified as DRC. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smilearchitect Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 and also hoping their is no 8503 condition on ur visa of 457 ....if their is no 8503 then only you can change to one more 457 or a 856 , if their is 8503 you have to apply for a 121/856 drc visa to get a decision ,concomitantly applying for 8503 waiver.... hope this makes sense?

Any thoughts? then your case MUST be assigned to a case officer in 10 working days it is the law .. so count the days and ask your immigration agent if they have not received any info ask for your ref number, you have the right to ask.....you have paid them money it is a service and its not a charity by immigration aussie call up or ask your rma to ask whats happening ? if their is no case officer ask the reason for it and u can expediate the case via grc to fast fwd or track ur case does it make sense?? asish??
