Guest soonplease Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 do u mean it was stated in ur ack that it will granted within 3 weeks? ours tells 5-7 months maybe ours is not drc contrary to what our MA said. Processing your application This email confirms that your application is progressing. If you do not hear from us for a while, do not be concerned. Applications are generally processed in the order in which they are received. As a guide, it is expected that most applications will be finalised within five to seven months when all appropriate documents are provided with an application. When applications are more complex or documents are not provided quickly, the application may take longer to finalise. Please be aware that the department may make a decision on your application without requesting additional information. Therefore you should provide us with all the information you feel is relevant. Information is enclosed which may be relevant to your application. Certified Decision Ready applications will be allocated within 10 business days of lodgement. It is then anticipated that the case officer will assess the certified Decision Ready application in the week following the allocation. If these applications are in fact decision ready, it is expected that most will be decided within three weeks of lodgement. That is what it says on our email they are just generic, but we had seen the certified DR application, that was signed with our names on it. So we knew that it was, and our agent did once work at immi, so he knew what they needed. Hope this helps, dont worry to much......x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EatingSheep Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 do u mean it was stated in ur ack that it will granted within 3 weeks? ours tells 5-7 months maybe ours is not drc contrary to what our MA said. I think the difference is that 'soonplease' has already had the Nomination approved, so may be a difference template that is send out. As both of ours are Decision ready Nomination & Visa applications I think the Ack says 5-7 months, but in reality will get processed in 2-4 weeks. Here's to hoping.

I lodged mine on 10/02/2011 and still haven't been assigned a case officer and to make it worst my application has been moved to Perth from Paramatta for fast processing and now parramatta are processing faster than Perth. I am so over this visa thingy. Come on DIAC!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest daytripper Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hi Daytripper, Congrats on your visa, thats great news. We submitted ours on 1st and got acknowledgement as DRC on the 16th, do you know what date yours was acknowledged please? Helps me sort of roughly guess when mine will be picked up - hoping! :jiggy: Hi soonplease, Congrats also on your visa, while you dont need this information now, I will provided it in case it benefits someone else...... Between it being lodged on the 27th May, and granted on the 18th June, the only communication I had was on the 1st June saying my application had been sent to Parramatta for processing, and that payment had been taken.

Guest Cass Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 You are not going to believe the email I've just received from my MA! I'll copy and paste: "You are not going to believe this! I sent off another reminder and finally the officer phoned me today. She was apologising on and on ..... the Dept lost the nomination application which cannot be found. She had sent a circular email to everyone to see if anyone had the file and no one had it!!! So I have now emailed everything to her. She will attend to this immediately. The visa application she says is fine." My app has been allocated to the case officer since 06/05 and she has not responded to any emails or phone messages until now. I phoned the Global Feedback line on Monday to find out whether they knew why it was taking so long to process my application - coincidence that we finally get a response?

Guest mikewheble Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hi, can anyone tell me the rough timescales for an offshore 121? The nomination and my visa application have been sent and I have front loaded police checks, medicals etc as I had a 475 regional visa grated in April. My application was complete and so should be straight forward but was wondering how long it would take. Thanks in advance Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sto Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Been lurking on this forum for awhile, figured I would post my good news. Timeline: Developer Programmer ENS Application 10 June 2011 : DRC Application + Nomination Submitted through RMA 15 June 2011 : Nomination Approved 24 June 2011 : PR Granted! RMA told me this is one of the fastest applications they have seen go through. So Happy right now. A bottle of Expensive Triple Malt Scotch Whiskey is in order for this to be awesome weekend. :jiggy: The RMA I used was Katie Maylon & Associate Laywers, I dealt with Ruslan Ahmadzai. They have been so professional and I can not recommend them enough! Cheers, Sto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest geokat Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Hi everyone, My partner and I applied for RSMS 857 in January. Here is our timeline so far; 12th January: Nomination and application submitted to Parramatta 19th May: Letter from employer sent through MA to ask DIAC for approximate processing time 20th May: Receieved an email replying that our case has been moved from Parramatta to Perth and we have a case officer but should refrain from contacting him as he is very busy 12th June: 5 month standard service time line arrives (ETA country) & still nothing 20th June: MA sends an email to DIAC Perth to ask for an update (no reply) 23rd June: I send an email directly to the case officer (no reply) We are really frustrating at the lack of progress. We have a property in the UK we need to re market & I have a full time permanent teaching post I need to return to in 6 weeks or they will terminate my contract (I have one year unpaid leave) This whole process has been a nightmare and we just need to know what is happening. Does anyone have any advice what we should do next? Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer help. Congrats to everyone who has had their visa granted & good luck to those still waiting :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest janeiswaiting Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Hi, Geokat, I would like to suggest you to check post no. 1984 of this forum by Boulam51, which says: 'When you are over the 5 or 7 months mark without any news from DIAC, I suggest you write to the Global Feedback Unit, which is the proper channel for complaints when DIAC are not respecting their service charter timeframe. This is you right and many people last year had quick reply using this pathway. http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/forms/services/ ' Somebody in this forum did try and found it worked, so good luck to you!

Congrats to everyone who has had their visa granted & good luck to those still waiting :-) Hey geokat, Janeiswaiting is correct. I am guessing you are from a low risk country (U.K)?. Therefore, your timeframe is 5 months. If you are waiting over this time, it is your right as a client to have an explanation for why this is taking longer (it is true that DIAC might have reasons for the processing being delayed, but you have the right to know exactly why) Furthermore, you already have a Case Officer. The service charter stipulate that a case officer, once allocated, will communicate with you within 2 business days with either a decision OR a request for more paperwork. These are good enough reasons to complaint, or at least get a CLEAR explanation. I understand your 'life' is on the line and it can become a very stressful experience. The Global Feedback Unit is separate to the people who handle the cases, and they can have a look to your particular case with a fresh outlook. Please 'gently' raise all these issue in an email to them. They WILL reply to you. http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/forms/services/services-form.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mostaf854 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hi Every one, I have a question about subclass 856: What do you need to provide as proof of 2 years employment under 457 visa? Is 457 visa label and payslip and a letter from your employer enough? Do you have to provide tax info from ATO? Is there any one here who did not provide Tax Return and granted 856 visa? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
