Hi folks
Started a new thread in the main forum but nobody answered

Got employer nomination approved today, in the form of a letter emailed to employer. It says this letter has to be submitted with the 47ES form- but DIAC already have this?????

Do they really want me to email this letter straight back to them? or is it just standard wording?

concretebob

I think it for your employers records.....

My agent sent me a copy of Nomination approved letter, I got the visa 3 working days later.

dpande

Thanks for your reply, concretebob.

Did your letter say that it had to be sent back to DIAC with the 47ES?

concretebob

here is a copy of what it says..... Is your similar??

Dear Mr xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
APPROVAL OF A NOMINATED POSITION AS AN APPROVED APPOINTMENT
EMPLOYER NOMINATION SCHEME (ENS)

I, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, being a delegate of the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship for the purposes of sub regulation 5.19(1B) of the Migration Regulations hereby approve the application by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. for the nominated position as an approved appointment.
Nominated position: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx

ASCO Code: xxxxxxxxxx
Base Annual Salary: $ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Nominee: xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx
DOB: xx/xx/xx

If the nominee has not already lodged their visa application, they must send their application for permanent residence (Form 47ES) to the Parramatta Business Centre within six (6) months from the date of this nomination approval. This applies whether the nominee is applying from within or outside of Australia. If they fail to do so, you will need to lodge a fresh nomination.
It is important that you notify the Parramatta Business Centre in writing as soon as possible, if:

• you wish to withdraw the nomination;
• you no longer wish to employ the person you nominated;
• there is any variation in the details of the nomination; or
• the business can no longer provide the employment offered in the nomination (this includes situations where your business ceases to exist).

Please note that approval of this nomination does not necessarily imply that your nominee will be granted a visa. This is because your nominee (and accompanying family members, if
any) must satisfy certain legislative requirements (including those relating to health and character) before a visa can be granted. Your nominee will be advised separately of the outcome of any such application by the Business Centre.

Yours sincerely

Otherwise the letter is identical- now I am worried. Maybe they did want their own letter emailed straight back to them???

Hi All,

Wondering the processing in sydney is getting much delayed now compared to other centres.I have lodged my application (47es) on may 10 th.Employer nomination which was filed in April got approved in may 15th.I have submitted my medicals on 26 th May. Till now I didnt recieve any communication from my case officer since the lodging of my application.Ofcourse I got a letter from DIAC one week after my application stating that a case officer will contact you soon.I am eagerly waiting for a mail from my co??

concretebob

Did you send it to Sydney or Parramatta?

I heard (from my agent) that ENS is processed at Parramatta Business Centre and if you send it to Sydney City office it might sit in a pile until its forwarded on to Parramatta. My agent sent it directly to Parramatta for this reason.

brisvisa

Hi ,
I have send my application directly to Parramatta.

concretebob

I lodged everything on 11th May Nomination approved on 21st and visa granted on 26th.

A friend lodged his 5th June and his Nomination was approved last Friday..

brisvisa

Hi ,
May be my application will be on the line.

brisvisa
