Guest Finchy84 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Btw once PR has been granted on a 856 if its via DRC, do you still need to leave Australia and come back in to activate the visa or not? Congrats Mandela. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberts13 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 As far as i am aware but correct me if im wrong the 856 is onshore application therefor no need to leave the country to activate - think the 121 is the offshore equiv where you leave and come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLZ help Hi pratik23, A high level of demand for ENS/RSMS visas has resulted in an on-hand caseload accumulating. This has obliged the processing network to introduce a revised processing model that recognises that they are going to have queued applications. Most applications come with their own unique set of circumstances and are often lodged with claims of urgency. Due to this, cases that may warrant expedition must be able to demonstrate unforeseen or very exceptional factors to be considered for priority allocation. This includes, providing verifiable evidence of the situation that you possibly find yourself in. Suggestions of school fees, purchasing a home or needing to commence work with the sponsoring employer as soon as possible are not considered out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, in such situations the normal service standards for ENS/RSMS will apply. Published service standards are as follows - http://www.immi.gov.au/about/charters/client-services-charter/visas/4.0.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pratik23 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 have you applied for ENS before? my immi agent told me your application should be revived in 4 weeks time...see what happens...as ENS in priority 1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NataLibera Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 have you applied for ENS before? my immi agent told me your application should be revived in 4 weeks time...see what happens...as ENS in priority 1... I have applied for ENS 121 on 29 July... according to http://www.immi.gov.au/about/charters/client-services-charter/visas/8.0.htm ENS 121/852 is in priority 2 group... I know I have to wait patiently and trustfully for 5/8 months at least...so frustrating, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest today Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hi all, I just want to know what will happen if I go overseas while I am still waitting for the 856 to be processed. Will it be suspended until I come back? Which means it will be longer than the proposed 5/8 months if I stay overseas long enough. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockDr Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 They cannot grant an onshore visa while you are offshore. If you go offshore you need to let them know your plans. They will wait until you're back onshore before granting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest today Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 So they will process my application as normal until they make the decision. If they decide to grant, can I say they will finish everything except granting the visa? Thanks. They cannot grant an onshore visa while you are offshore. If you go offshore you need to let them know your plans. They will wait until you're back onshore before granting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am planning to go on overseas holiday next month. I have 457 which is valid until 2013 and as you all know that I have applied 856 visa 3 months ago. So that means I am not on the bridging visa until my 457 is expired, right? So no problem of travelling overseas? Should I notify Immi about my trip? Thanks.

Guest forrest Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Guys, This is the reply I got from sending email to wa.pse@immi.gov.au I don't know these time frames are only for Perth Centre or apply to other centres as well.

I have applied April 7th and I apparently have a case officer allocated since two weeks now... I still haven't received any email from him though. But if it is true that a case officer has been allocated then it should be at least mid april now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest today Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 As I said before, although Perth center processes more quickly than before, it is still not quick enough so that there are still plenty of RMSs which have a higher priority need to be processed, which means Parramatta must have been helping Perth these days so there were not enough COs to process its own local cases. Maybe when Perth's processing date is 1 month behind the Parra center will go back to its normal speed. We still have to wait. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
