I'm an IT Project Manager but I've looked on all the state lists and it's not on any of them.
What is an 'off list' nomination?

i had been waiting since dec 07, that is going 20 months now...i was not told by my agent (what you had been told), but i had no choice but to wait due to the number of changes in the processing....so i guess it will just be 4 months to wait for me...

Check WA...I think IT manager was there on their list..I may be wrong..

Speak to ur agent about off list nominations, he/she should be able to point u in the right direction!

Thanks Aman I'll have another look to make sure.
The worst thing is my agent told me to do my medicals and pcc's at the time of applying so those will both expire now and I'll have to go through all of that again....never mind the cost!

Hi Jenny

Do you know is this the same or similar time frame (24 mths) for modl but non csl?

i've thought about ss, but to be honest 24 months is a long time to have to stay in a place if you dont like it, or can't get work there etc. don't really want to be tied to one state for these reasons especially with the job situation as it is. Are you going for ss?

thanks, b

And I have not heared anything from anyone should I email to see if they have looked at my application?

has any one else gone for the 176 in June and how far down the process are you guys I dont want to have to phone and ask how the application is going but I am interested to know where abouts I am in the process stages.

Are you a state sponsored applicant? If yes, have you checked with your state if they have forwarded your form 1100 to DIAC?

Yes WA state sponsored and no I have not checked that they have forwarded on the form, do you think I should send them an email first? I thought I would have heard somthing from some one as I thought the 176 ss where priority

This is what we got when we sent a mail to WA:

"Your agreement has been received and the 1100 endorsed and sent to DIAC.

We do not normally acknowledge receipt of agreements or dispatch of 1100.

The forms are usually sent to DIAC within a few days of receiving them, although this can sometime take up to a week depending on workload."

When did you apply for your visa and when did you send your form 1100 to WA?

SOthey never informed you that they sent it on? well it is over a month now and I still have not uplopaded everything to my form things like passport photos and my mediacal stuff so I thought they would have been in touch to tell me to get them on?

Normally they say that these need to be uploaded with in 28 days, though I am not too sure how strict they are with this time line.

Right I see I thought they asked you for all of it I had better get my finger out then and get them all done.
thanks for your help with this bannie

what is your time line like?

I have sent you a PM mate.

I think i am also in the same boat,applied through an agent in june 176 and nothing from DIAC so far.Agent is saying he is waiting for an acknoldgement letter from DIAC to forward to sponsoring state,anyone with any advice will appreciate.
