I think I have managed to remember most approximate dates. I didn't realise we had so many holidays before we had kids!

Can I ask how they contacted you for further info, I had the acknowledgement letter with the name of the person who was to be my Case Officer, sent by snail mail. I am hoping that when my CO finally contacts me it will be by email.

Hi Nick
The CO e-mailed our agent with requests for further information, it was a Form 80. It has to be signed by us so it has gone to agent's Southampton office today, they will send by courier to Oz on Friday and hopefully it should be with them sometime next week.
Fingers crossed you hear something soon.

Can I ask how long it took for the employer sponsorship for rsms to get approved (from time of submission to approval, not visa grant)?

Re: Anyone got RSMS Visa
We didn't really get involved in this part as the employer gave the agent details and we were so busy trying to collect all the information we needed that we didn't really think about asking!
From memory it took about 2 weeks from me passing the information to the agent about the employers to her confirming they had the approval.

Re: Anyone got RSMS Visa
I heard today that my official offer letter is going in the post Friday. Which means regional board have certified it. 
So just need to check when they will nominate and I'm lodging. Yayyyyy!

Just been reading through this thread, and thought I'd join in!
We are hoping our employer applies for certification this week. Although we are an onshore application it doesn't make you immune to the impatience - we want to buy a home and that has to wait for now....., still not so bad as waiting for our initial 457 I have to say.

Re: Anyone got RSMS Visa
We are in hervey Bay QLD.
Before we settled on how to apply I did a bit of research on whether to apply via Brisbane or Parramatta business centre. (Company HO near one and job near other so apparently we can use either). Brisbane replied today with the following
Still awaiting reply from Parramatta - which is the one the company's agent decided to use. Fingers crossed they have a better answer.
