I got my letter via email and my visa through the RSMS was gratned today guys

"I am pleased to advise that the application has been approved and permanent residence visas were granted on 29th January 2009."

I can just keep reading it, ha

Still a bit in shock

looky

Congrats

When did you apply? on or offshore application? Which office was it processed at?

missmileyselina

I applied last week Thursday 22.01.09 after my medicals that week

Agk letter on Monday, Case Officer assigned Tuesday but my migration expert didnt tell me until yesterday and then phoned again today to tell me it has been granted!!! So it has been quite a week :0)

I am in the Northern Territory and it was the Darwin DIAC office dealt with it (thank you so much to anyone who may work there - haha)

I am onshore and currently working for my employers who sponsored me - not sure if that helped...

looky

OMG that was quick!!! A week!!! It seems I always get the bad end of the stick...been 4+ months since I applied onshore!!!!!

missmileyselina

I know so quick, i cant believe it, i keep thinking it must be a mistake ha I never imagined for a second it would be that quick, thats why i am so in shock ha ha

Sorry 2 hear yours has took that long is it the same process as mine? Is that since the nomination or the actualy lodgement of your application?

And..where are you?

And do u have a migration agent?

Here's an update on our application.

RSMS application mailed on Tuesday, credit card debited Wednesday and email received today requesting we complete Form 80 and return to our case officer for a decision.

Does this mean they are close to granting our visa, typical my scanner is not working so I will have to mail the Form 80 instead of emailing it.

do you have a digital camera? Do a photo and save as jpeg and send that.

looky

Yeah I'm onshore on a 457, so same as you I reckon. I'm applying by myself from qld and its since the lodgement of my application, that is why I am a bit frustrated that its taking so long I was even asked for form 80 and original copy of the police check cert way back in Nov last year

Wonder if I should email them again!

looky

Well since you applied this year, it could be a sure sign that they are processing your application now or soon within the next two weeks. It seems to be the trend for new applications.

Congrats missmileyselina!!
This is really very quick. Lucky You

missmileyselina

I think you definately should! Maybe you should ring your CO and ask them 2 send your paperowkr 2 Darwin? ;0)
That is a very long time... Are you simply staying on bridgng visas?
I can refer you 2 a migration agent (now also my friend ha) but it is possibly a bit late in the day 2 involve 1?
Keep me up-dated :0)

missmileyselina

thank you :0)

Maybe you could enquire if they received the requested docs? Say you are concerned re lack of movement following employer sponsored beign hioghest priortiy now and were worried they not got the docs...or something similar and no accusatory so as not to get anyones back up.

Our last working day before the big 45 today. Going to ask agent to try rcb as see if any news there

looky

I received the registered reply from Australia post that the documents were collected by the receiving party a few weeks after I posted the requested form 80 and original police cert though.

What is the Brisbane office phone number for rsms?

Safin

Still doesn't stop you asking brisbane directly - just to get them to pull your file out to check the answer, therefore maybe getting them to see its ready to grant so they may as well!

sorry no idea of phone number
