Hi
We lodged at Adelaide end of May/start of June and were told 5 months for visa.

I haven't seen anyone who has had a RSMS from Adelaide recently!

Burkins...

Here is a "quote" from another forum re: RSMS

Hi there, our RSMS (also known as a 119 visa) took 6 months from job offfer to landing in Mackay. Lodged at Brisbane. From application lodged to approval is probably about 3 months. Very good visa if you can get it!!We are now PR and can do everything Aussies can do except vote.

Just finding out when that was... will let you know...

Breathe girl breathe......

I can't breathe!!!!

I hope it is that quick. Maybe after the rest all the staff have had in June they will work quicker in July!

I've just instructed the estate agents - the house is now offically on the market!!!!!!

Please someone buy the house, please please please.

I have just had a meeting with an agent and am told it is taking an average of 6 months at the mo.

janjanxx

Yes... I would work on an average of 6 months... Agents also give worst case senoria ...

Here's another RSMS which was granted in Perth :

"Our employer lodged 12th Jan 2008. We lodged 12th feb and it was granted 4th April. We laned 6 weeks later."

Very quick !! and it is 2008 !!! Good signs I think

Hello janjan.
immigration wanted hard copies of form 80 so that was sent of yesterday.
Also waiting confirmation that the medicals have started their trip to australia, we had those done 12 days ago.
Just sit and wait now I guess.
Regards old.

Thats excellent....

Our meds arrived this week in at LCU Sydney... was reading some of the South Africa thread for RSMS - 3 months ... not too bad hey?

I did say that to them, and they said no, for SA they are taking 6 months. And then advised me to go for the 457 and then apply for the RSMS. Maybe after two sets of fees????

I am hoping for between 8 and 12 weeks if I frontload everything and my employer puts a start date on for my job. I cant still be here next year - I just cant!

Ponyrama...

Have you lodged?

ponyrama

Have i flamin heck - still waiting for the job to be certified. They are so slow its unreal.

Burkins

If I ever get to Oz I think that I will apply to work at DIAC and work extra fast to ease everyones pain at waiting.
Or do you think that the DIAC looks at this website and thinks "let's make them wait a few more months"!!!

janjanxx

We do love the DIAC though - and the Case Officers....
