Hi Guys,

Applied on 3rd May. What is the way to request priority processing? If my employer can show a Statement of work/contract signed and awaiting me( my role) for it to be executed, is it sufficient? Employer is Approved sponsor but not accredited. its an intra company transfer in a large US tech company

 

[pravincv]

Quick update - logged into my ImmiAccount and it has been updated to say that they estimate the processing will take 11-17 days. Doesn't clarify if these are business days but I assume so.

One of the police clearances I need can't go forward until I have a letter from Australian immigration requesting it, but I haven't gotten this yet. Tried filling in the webform but couldn't actually get to a form, and when I called (11:22 local time, 13:24 ACT) it said the office was closed.

that sounds great . 11 -17 days is nirvana compared to the 5-10 month queue for 457. all the best. fingers crossed

 

[pravincv]

when they say 11-17 days, does it include nomination+visa approval processing time or just visa approval? how can i check if the nomination stage is completed? or do they both occur together?

 

[pravincv]

My friend lodged 482 visa on 26apr and visa granted today

awesome. did he apply for nomination and visa together? i wanted to know if they are processed together, if they are applied together.

 

[pravincv]

Yes his agent applied same day for him and status was changed to granted from received.

thanks again.. was his employer an accredited sponsor or standard business sponsor? this bit of information will help us calibrate expectations!

 

[pravincv]

Thank you! We did not apply for priority processing. When I checked the global visa process time, the standard is 11 to 17days for tss medium stream

congratulations. could you share your occupation code and if it is a regional job?

 

[pravincv]

is there anyone who is a fresh (not subsequent) 482 applicant from april who has not been granted yet?

 

[pravincv]

That's great. So for standard sponsor with No priority request, they approve the visas in 11 to 17 days...

I have applied my 482 subsequent on 4th April under standard sponsor. But No word from them till now. I guess its been considered under 457 processing time..

does your immiaccount also show 11-17 days or something else?

 

[pravincv]

I am not getting you. Should I upload the color scan copies of the docs without getting them attested/certified?

no attestation or notarization needed

 

[pravincv]

any new grants for fresh 482 applicants? clearly 11-17 is just aspirational. i applied a fresh nomination/application using Fragomen on 4th May -no update yet. ICT Business analyst MLTSSL.

 

[pravincv]

so, any more April 482 visa applicants remaining on this board ? i think all Apr ones are cleared. hopefully its turn of us May people

 

[pravincv]

When did you lodge your visa? Mine was May 12 and still on received status.

May 4. no LMT was needed -intra company transfer

Hi pravincv, sorry if you have stated it in previous post, but can you please advise how long did you wait for the nomination? My employer is going to lodge SBS and NOM, followed by the visa. I would like to know how long will the whole process take. Thank you in advance for your help!

My sponsor was already SBS. So nomination and visa filing was done together on May 4th and both were approved together on June 28th. We used Fragomen as our agent

 

[pravincv]

Congratulations!!!

thanks and wish you all the best eljaleo!

 

[pravincv]

Congratulations Pravin..

thanks ravi!

 

[pravincv]

Anyone who submitted visa application in early Jun has got any updates ?
It's such an agony to see my application listed as "Received" and I never know how many days I still have to wait to get the result.

a bit too early to be frustrated. i was in your shoes till a week ago. unless your sponsor is accredited, it might be around 2 months for your application to be picked up. that seems to be the experience of at least a few people on this board. mine took exactly 8 weeks. no priority processing nor any accredited sponsor.

 

[pravincv]

Hi Pravin,

How to know if a sponsor is an accredited one or not?

And how was your experience with fragomen?

Thanks,
Ravi

You'll need to ask your sponsor or your agent.They'll know. Fragomen was very professional and co-operative with all my queries

Hi Pravin,

Can you please let me know how did you get PCC for you and your dependents? Were your address in Passport and present address the same at the time of applying for PCC?

Thanks,
Ravi

I assume it is for india? my address in the passport was the same as current, but PCC was done 10 years ago, so they had to do it again. passport seva kendra (PSK) is the way to go - you'll need to visit the local police station once the PSK initiates it. if you are abroad, there is a different procedure (VFSGlobal is the agent via the indian embassy).
if address is the same, your current local police station will co-ordinate, but i assume it takes time - i dont have personal experience on that front
