Guest Sara cen Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Does anyone have any timelines on DRC cases being approved in Syd, been 6 weeks now, since my application was submitted and not heard anything. my RMA told me 1-2 months, so yeah keen to hear if anyone has their PR approved via DRC recently and if so when it was submitted. My RMA finally confirmed that my application is a DRC but said the wait is still 5 to 7 as with other applicants. Though my RMA is slack I'm inclined to believe her because she is an old time expert in this area and advises the government! My application was received mid August in Melbourne. No CO yet. If DRC applications no longer have any priority (I suspect they may not) then Melbourne is upto 10 June application. A long way to go to August.

Guest jnrrazz Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hi I'm currently on a 457 Visa and applied for a 856 at the beggining of Sept. I have got aknowledgement of the receipt and submission but thats it. We have provided all medicals/ english passports/ criminal history (none) and was hoping a quick sub 3 month approval but looking at this i guessing its going to be approx 7 months. I have submitted application to Parramatta but if there are law changes for 1st July is that likely to mean less application in a few months to process. Also I read somewhere that applications from 457 to 856 are being fast tracked? Anyone confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe DRC has no more priority! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My application for 121 visa was lodged on 20th of july in Melbourne and is not DRC, if your application goes first we can see if DRC has any priority.

Radlam Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Quick update on mine: Looks like ive been assigned a CO, although they only requested further info for the nomination to my employer, nothing for application. Not sure if this means we get a different CO for the nomination, or they haven't got that far yet, or they dont need any additional info.

kumaraxl Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Come on Parra... still going slow.:sad: Hi Forrest! I am a newcomer to this forum but I was wondering if you would be able to help me. I am sort of having the same application matter as yours particularly in relation to the dependent sibling thing. Was wondering if you could help me? Can I contact you by e-mail? I can't access your profile here cause it says I don't have sufficient previliges. Thanks. Kumar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicole Eire Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hi guys - quick question: Has anybody ever been granted the nomination and application at the same time? Is that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wait continues! Is this from nomination application by employer or visa application???? does anyone know the answer to this........i think it is safe to say no visa application will be looked at until the nomination has been approved so it would suggest to me that the dates above will relate to the nomination application:unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radlam Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Update from me, CO has been assigned, good news....not really. They have asked for all sorts of further information. Most of which has been easy to provide until it came to my Refrigeration Trade Licence. I have a successful TRA outcome, and the documents to prove this. However, when I applied to the relevant board for my license, they said I need an ARTC and the TRA assessment I sent in was for immigration puposes only? Heres where it gets interesting... I spoke with TRA who then informed me that to be eligable for an ARTC, I already needed to be a resident. Can you see where this is going? I now have the obvious problem of one not giving me what the other wants, even though I have already completed a TRA assessment which was passed by immigration as successfully completed. Im now very confused and no one knows what to do, Can anyone shed any light on this matter? Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy & Kelly Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hi, That is correct, ARTC is for residents only. It's bullsh*t to be honest. It's just another way milking money out of people. It's actually not good enough to use as a migration assessment, so why the hell would it be good enough to use to gain licence in your trade???? I did mine a couple of years ago and the questions asked were a load of bollo*ks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nomination has been approved since september and the processing dates were provided in a reply email regarding a question about my 856 application. Where did you apply? Was it decision ready? I applied for nomination and visa in June. The only thing that has happened so far is my bank is two and a half grand lighter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also been through the application for ARTC and its identical to the one I applied for last time which was successful. Why are they trying to get another $300 out of me for the same application but a diff certificate??? This whole thing is a complete mess, how do they get it so wrong?
