186 TRT from 482

Ben Bear · 2022-09-11T21:41:00-0400

My company submitted my application in January 2022 for my 186 (As well as my family). We managed to get our Medical clearance in May, and just transitioned into the Bridging visa. This does create a bit of anxiety for the elder kids since I can't get them into Uni without huge deposits, and the bridging visa also cause concerns getting admissions from the ones we tried to contact. The estimated days shows that it can take up to 900 days (!!!), but this mean I am putting a lot of things on hold due to this uncertainty. Did anyone else got the 186 TRT finalized in less than a year recently? I guess I am just looking for some hope here. And don't get me started with my lease on my property

@Ben Bear I'm in the same boat. Applied in Feb, medicals done in Feb, PMSOL occupation. Nothing yet. Considering current situation, I think 1 year of waiting would be a minimum...

@Ben Bear Also in the same boat. My company submitted their nomination in December 2021 which was finally approved in November 2022. One day later receivied an email requesting more information for our visa application (which I submitted in March 2022). Seems like it's taking about 11-12 months for them to get round to looking at nominations.

My nomination JUST got approved. Hopefully the visa will go through soon.

Great news! From what I see they are currently processing December and January cases. @Ben Bear - I reckon you should get your grant within next 2-3 weeks tops.

So, it went to "Initial assessment" finally. They required fresh documents on some of my kids. Not sure how long after will it be processed. Will keep everyone updated.

Ben Bear · 2023-01-19T20:48:14-0500

Got the documents collated and sent off today with cover letters. Let's see if all is good. Status was updated to "Further assessment" an hour later.

Anyone in a similar position to me? Applied for 186 TRT early-April 2022. Onshore. Non-accredited Sponsor. I'm not sure if the Assessing Authority makes a difference. Mine is AIM for GM / CEO role. Thanks in advance.

Same, 186DE NAS applied in April 2022, but no news yet

Nope, refreshing at least 10x per day and still on "Further Assessment". This is so frustrating tbh.

Anyone had to redo a Functional English test when it “expires” after 12 months?

I applied in March 2022 for 186 TRT from 482, and prior to that I was on a 457. I’m onshore. I’ve heard nothing.

Any news on where they’re up to with processing, as in month and year?

I did my medical in March last year too.

Mine was granted last week. It took over 13 months total. I am sure yours is around the corner. Was your company nomination approved yet?

Nomination hasn’t been approved yet.

It’s soo frustrating as I was first granted my 457 back in 2016 🤦‍♀️ but due to terrible employers i found a new sponsorship and then changing from 457 to 482 and then Covid 😂 My goodness I have earnt PR as we all deserve it.

I work for a wonderful company now but it would be nice knowing I can buy a home freely and get a loan for a new car.

I see some applications from early March 2022 being approved now. Yours should happen very soon. Stay positive!

Well funnily enough, they’ve just asked for my payslips from the last 3 months and have asked for some BAS documents from my employer!

Excellent! What date in March 2022 did you lodge your application?
