February 2014 PR Visa Application

kremitz

Edi malapit kna nga @sonsi_03. This week na yan cgro

manofsteel

@sonsi_03 im hoping (and claiming) na bago ako mag last day sa present work ay dumating na ang tinatawag nilang golden email, otherwise i would have to update mr.CO nga.

Btw, pag ba merong newly requested additional document ang CO manonotify din via email? Or need talaga check immiaccount from time to time for any such doc? Thanks

bookworm

@sonsi_03, Taiwan ako, at girl ako haha.
hindi din ako mag resign hangga't di pa ako alis. Pero pag makuha na yung visa, at least masabihan ko na amo ko. Mahirap maghanap ng kapalit e.

sonsi_03

@manofsteel thru email lang po ang notifications sa lahat ng correspondence but my opinion is unlikely na manghingi pa ulit ng add'l docs unless necessary. they would check thoroughly at once and avoid repeated jobs para efficient sila sa processing.

@bookworm naku sorry i often get mistakes on the gender here haha

@kremitz sana nga sana nga gustong gusto na namin makasama ang anak namin. ambilis ng panahon she's almost 2 na

manofsteel

@sonsi_03 ah ok, thanks for that info. so yun CO allocation means yun first contact ng CO syo or the status of immiaccount will change from in-progress to co-alloc? thanks

sonsi_03

@manofsteel wala pong official na indication sa immiaccount tungkol sa CO allocation. Sa iyong email lang po talaga although mapapansin nyo sa immiaccount na magbabago yung "last updated na date" from the time you lodged visa. same goes with the medical magiging received status na yun.

czha

@sonsi_03 PR ka ba? kaya nakakuha ka agad ng COC?

sonsi_03

@czha hindi po ako PR, ginamit ko lang po ang visa summary letter noong nag-apply po kami ng Sg CoC

jantox

@sergz126 pre sg based ako. pero baka manggaling ako ph to syd - one thing lang eh pal at qantas lang may direct so mejo pricey unlike if you start from sg.

czha

@sonsi_03 kahit wala png CO pwede na mag apply ng COC? saan ung summary? wala nman binigay ang agent

sonsi_03

@czha nasa acknowledgement email po iyon upon visa lodge

manofsteel

@sonsi_03 ah ok. Sabi kase nun iba na yun status change from required to received is not indication of CO alloc. Kase i noticed after every upload ko ng docs, the following day status is received. So yun nakikita ko sa timeline na naglalagay ng CO allocated date is based sa first contact/email ng CO sa applicant? And dun na makikita kung anong CO team yun nagpprocess ng case, tama ba?

sonsi_03

@manofsteel yep exactly. me mga attachments din ang emails ng mga CO and for you to file also if you would prefer. Sa akin well-documented yan sa soft copies at hard copies. 2 lang naman eh Brisbane at Adelaide GSM teams

sonsi_03

meron pong mga naga-grant sa ibang forums na paisa-isa since yesterday. Hope it is a good sign that our turns will come sooner than we expected

sergz126

@sonsi kaw na sunod sir...lapit na yan. sana ma-grant na lahat ng feb applicants, para kami naman, march applicants hehe

markinoz

Guys, wala pa bang Feb applicant ng NSW state sponsorship 190 dito ang na-grant? Feb 3 alko nag lodge, wala parin sakin until now.

sonsi_03

@sergz126 tuwing umaga tanghali hapon hanggang 2.30pm naghihintay po ako pero talagang walang magagawa kundi maghintay at makiramdam lang. sana malapit na nga at sunod sunod na po ang grants natin.

sonsi_03

@markinoz wala pa po yata sa batch natin 190s maski anong state. abangers pa rin

sergz126

@sonsi_03 yes sir, ganun na nga, test of patienc...pero mas malapit na kayo sa finish line. Ako hintay pa rin ng CO, pero sana direct grant na lang din

sonsi_03

@sergz126 siyempre me hangganan din po ang paghihintay at kapag lumampas na sa waiting time kailangan na pong magtanong kung anu na ang status.

sergz126

@sonsi_03 agreed sir. pero, just the same, kelangan din talaga ng patience para di masyado stressed/worried...hopefully di na umabot sa pag-follow up ung sa application nyo

sonsi_03

@sergz126 wait and see lang po. wala man lang update maliban sa delay email na natanggap ko nung apr 2 pa. hays!

czha

@sonsi_03 anong delay email un? notice na madedelay ang processing?

sonsi_03

@czha it is a notification reply e-mail i received after i submitted our form 80 and PCCs last april 2 to our CO. Isang mahabang explanation tungkol sa "near reaching cap" ng Migration Programme Planning nila.

bookworm

@sonsi_03, can you share the message here?
Wala pa kasi akong case officer. Kung near reaching cap na, baka di na ako umabot sa cut-off and will have to wait for July.

sonsi_03

@bookworm as per requested.

In the skilled stream, of which your visa application is a part, priority processing arrangements and Migration Program planning levels have been designed to ensure the Australian economy gets the skills it needs now. The Migration Program planning levels for the visa category, Regional Sponsored, has a limited number of places left for the 2013-14 program year.



This will mean processing times may be longer and that once the remaining places are used, the department cannot grant any application until the following program year, unless more visa places become available. Until that time, I cannot guarantee that your application will be decided in the immediate term, nor can I give an indication as to the likely timeframe. You can be assured, however, that the department will contact you when we are ready to finalise your visa application.



From February 2014, the Skilled Regional Sponsored GSM category has a limited number of visa places remaining.



The remaining places will be allocated in line with the priority processing arrangements.

Does not mean you will hold your application. Lodged as it is as per normal. At kung iba-base mo sa statement wala pong sinabing cut-off. I believe this has been an auto reply from DIBP to advise us na me backlog but not necessarily nag-cease ang grants. Grants are still given pero limitado pa sa ngayon until further notice.

bookworm

@sonsi_03, thanks!

Pero eto ang pinaka importante:

...that once the remaining places are used...

sana naman umabot pa.

manofsteel

@sonsi_03 nagfollow up ka ba then ito nireply or at the time CO contacted you may kasama na ganito notice letter?

Sabi Regional Skilled, di ba visa 489 yun? or this delay letter pertains to all skilled migration visa types?

sonsi_03

@manofsteel hindi siya follow up. inemail ko yung additional documents na hiningi ng CO ko.
yep 489 daw delayed eh mas marami pa ngang 489 approvals kesa 190 lately.

sonsi_03

It's a brand new week na naman. Hopefully may ma-grant na sa atin.
