Guest Jitu Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hi Fabian, Congratulation for your new granted PR and good luck to your new life in AU. I just got RCB and I am completing my application to DIAC (RSMS 119). Just looked at your case and exactly the same as mine. My angent asked me to come and finalise my application next week. And before I come, I need to make payment for agent fee and 1735 AUD into his account as well. I just have a question that did it happen to you before? Did the CO ask you to provide all details of your employers in the past? and do you have to provide all the work reference letters or just quote their email and phone numbers? does the CO put lots of attention on your CV? Did you have to prove to your CO that your employer can not find local employees? Thank you for your time Andy Hi friends, I am quite new to this forum. My agent has submitted my application as Decision Ready (DR) (at least he says that) on 16th May 2011. I was expecting my VISA in 2-3 weeks. However he yesterday called me and said Immigration asked softcopy of CV. He said that implies that my application has been sent for Background check. It could take long. I don't understand if it is true or not. My acknowledgement letter has these lines " the published service standard for ENS/RSMS case is 5 moths (ETA countries) and 7 moths (non-ETA countries). ..... .. You will be contacted by a case officer within 2 working days of the visa application being allocated, with either an outcome for decision-ready cases or a request for additional information or documents. Until a case is allocated....." Now I have suspicion that my application is not decision ready. However I am sure my Nomination was DR as it came within a week. I trust my agent as he is nice guy but I am not sure why its taking so long. Also, anyone have idea how long Background check takes?

Guest nandy Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hi All, I am new to this forum. Have been in Aus since last 1 year. Now that my employer was ready to sponsor me, my agent has applied for RSMS 119 visa (since my present one is not a qualifying visa). Nomination applied 2nd March 2011 Visa applied 19th May 2011 No news at all till now. I was expecting that the visa would take just a few weeks. Is anyone having a similar case?

Guest ck1 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hi mate, I just know one forum user. He/she applied on the same day as mine 10/02/2011 and both of our application has been transferred to Perth. I emailed Perth to find out what was happening with my application and they replied back saying they received of boxes of cases from Parramatta late April and are not able to provide an estimation on when those cases will be allocated to a case officer for processing. What about you? When did you apply? Cheers, Ashish Hi Ashish, I lodged mine on 10/3/2011 but my RMA isnt sure if it was launched as a DRC!! Also I've researched and found this FAQ which mentions that many applications are being transferred to Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane to reduce the workload: http://www.australianimmigrationvisas.com.au/employer-nomination-scheme-ensregional-sponsored-migration-scheme-rsms-decision-ready-application-processing-frequently-asked-questions And my VEVO status still shows as 'Bridging Visa', so fingers crossed!!

Guest Fabian Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 "Hi Fabian, Congratulation for your new granted PR and good luck to your new life in AU. I just got RCB and I am completing my application to DIAC (RSMS 119). Just looked at your case and exactly the same as mine. My angent asked me to come and finalise my application next week. And before I come, I need to make payment for agent fee and 1735 AUD into his account as well. I just have a question that did it happen to you before? Did the CO ask you to provide all details of your employers in the past? and do you have to provide all the work reference letters or just quote their email and phone numbers? does the CO put lots of attention on your CV? Did you have to prove to your CO that your employer can not find local employees? Thank you for your time Andy" Hi Andy, My employer had not to prove that he couldn't find suitable staff as the occupation "Cook" is on the State migration plan so there is a demand. The CO hasn't asked for anything. My agent is just bloody good with these things and knew excactly what to submit. I had to write an own CV about my professional life over the past few years and this got sent to DIAC. Same for work references. If you use an agent your agent must know these things. If not stay clear of that so called "agent" and get a real one and dont pay a single cent to the current one. @Vikram Congratulations mate. Another example that real Decision ready cases ARE processed in the way how they should be! @ck1 "Hi Ashish, I lodged mine on 10/3/2011 but my RMA isnt sure if it was launched as a DRC!!" What an agent is that ?! The agent isnt sure...thats probably explaining why alot of people here on the forum think that their application is decision ready but the agent is just not well informed. I still believe that a lot of agents dont have a clue about it. And just by the way, RSMS and ENS visa cannot be lodged online. The form 47es for example has to be lodged in paper...dont know why people think it can be done online, its not 457 and it doesn't say anywhere on DIAC's website that you can lodge it online. As long as you dont ask DIAC to get a password for the VEVO you will not be able to check unless you have a current visa application running that was submitted online. When you then check your entitlement details you can see any changes. But still, has nothing to do with DRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent an email yesterday to Perth DIAC and they were not in a situation to comment on when the Parramatta cases will be allocated for assessment. So I guess still a long wait for me. I think your application must be on the top of the pile. Enjoy NewZealand and your stay in Australia as Permanent Resident. Wish you all the luck.
