Hi eljaleo,
I am on the same boat as yours. I lodged my visa app on may 8 and I am expected by my employer by the end of the month. When I saw your post, I immediately checked my immiaccount and saw the same process time of 11 to 17days. Hopefully we get the grant immediately. I also find it weird that they gave me a date to start working when I haven't got a visa yet.
Iam just curious. Do you happen to be a nurse?

 

[cee316]

Nope, not a nurse. Are you? Do you have any documentation that you still need to submit? I need to submit a police clearance from a territory that won't do it until I have a request from DIPB, but I haven't received that paperwork yet and when I call the new hotline, I'm always told they're closed (despite being within their posted office hours). So I'm nervous that it will be much longer than 11-18 days for me but I'm not sure what to do.[/QUOTE]

Yes, I am a nurse. I have submitted everything even the police clearance. During the time that I lodged my app, there was an automatic sets of required docs, and that included police clearance.
I think its not 11 to 17 business days. I think they meant the total number of days including weekends. Because my mom applied for visa 600 and she was informed via immi account that waiting period is 17days. But she was granted 10days from the date that she submitted (including weekends).

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.

I just want to share what I know.
Nomination and visa app is processed separately.
You are supposed to lodge a visa after the nomination is granted. That is the proper sequence according to oz govt. But then we can still lodge a visa app even we are still waiting for the nomination. My employer applied for the nomination and was granted on may 10th. I learned about it because my employer updated me and sent me a copy of the nomination grant. But before the grant, I lodged my visa app may 8, and am stillwaiting for the result.

Has anyone's 482 gotten approved recently? Any Insight on recent processing time?

Hi! We got the visa grant today. I lodge the visa app last may 8.hope this helped

Wow..Congratulations...You applied Priority processing or Accredited sponsor?

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

Congrats Cee316. Pretty quick. Was your nomination and visa application lodged simultaneously?

Thanks! No, they were lodge on separate date. I was trying to wait for the nomination to be granted before i lodge my visa app just to be sure i wont be wasting money. But then, after sometime, i thought nomination was taking long time, so i lodge my visa app, 2days ahead before the nomination was granted. To give you an idea, they lodged the nomination on may 1st. I lodged my visa app may 8. Nomination was granted may 10.

Hi i am currently applying for the new TSS, i have read that the english exam is valid for 3 years instead of 2. Can you clarify? Mine expires (2 years) in August and i am worried if i should take it again?

In my tss app, they required an English proficiency exam taken within the last 36 months.

As it will be one time service application checking and we need to provide all docs at once. We have prepared most of docs like passport copies, edu docs, police certf etc
Just tell should they all be notry attested/ certified?

It doesn't have to be notarized according to their instruction. But I still din uploaded both. The orig copy and notarized copy in one document as pdf. Just to make sure because I cannot afford to waste time.
