Case officer in 457 section at DIBP writes directly to client to verify information provided by their RMA
Facts:
1. The migration agent submits a 457 business nomination and is the authorised person.
2. The 457 business sponsorship is already approved and the migration agent is the authorised person.
3. The visa applicant is transferring from one company to this company and the migration agent is the authorised person
Whilst the application is in process the business sponsor receives a letter, sent to them directly from the case officer.
Check out this link and read what the case officer has written. It will astound you.

Directly following the words '...with migration agent' we have removed the RMA's name and left it blank so the RMA cannot be identified. The client's details have also been removed so that the client cannot be identified.
What does a Form 956 mean to a case officer now?
Why is a case officer writing directly to a client about the client's migration agent and referring to the migration agent in the third person in a letter? Why is a case officer asking a migration agent's client to verify the information provided by the migration agent?
Needless to say, this client sent the letter directly to their migration agent.
This migration agent is a professional agent and there is no issue with the file or with the agent's track record as far as we can see.

Hello Guest,
Please read your comment again. I really hope you question your own grammar.
Your comment does not make sense.
Are you a Registered Migration Agent?
The amount of grammatical errors in your comment above is hilarious. -

The Australian Immigration and their case officer are fully stupid.
THey all are really BAD ASS.
F*** O** all of them.
They think they are very intelligent and investigative but i have a lot of personal examples about many Visas.
They issue Visa on fake documents with in time period or before time periods.(Yes on totally fake documentation. Just passport original)
And delay/Refuse visa after couple of months on genuine documents of eligible peoples.
THESE ARE AUSTRALIAN IMMIGRATION AND CASE OFFICERS -

Ironic that we have no access to the multiple case officers' phone numbers, names, etc with regard to 457 sponsorship, nomination and visa applications but must provide same for DBP.
I recently discussed this mess where no case officer is assigned and after request for further info with DBP case officer who was embarrassed and as frustrated as we RMAs are. He stated that it would seem that the many lazy officers simply take an application off the pile, issue a broad spectrum request, tick it off their workload and walk away from it. Charming!
Peter Dutton needs to be made aware of this farcical situation and the person who decided that the current methodology would be functional and those who stand by it are not fit for any role in the public service.

I tend to agree with Biljana Khurana on this issue.
I have dealt with this case officer on a number of occasions and have always found them to be reasonable.
If there is suspicion that someone is lodging nominations on behalf of a company without the company's knowledge, what other option does a case officer have?
I also agree however, that case officers in general are becoming more difficult and unreasonable to deal with and would like to see:
a) More respect for RMA's
b) Better communication channels.
I would also like to remind Agents posting comments to remain respectful. On one hand we complain of a lack of respect from Case Officers, yet some posts are quite harsh when there is a difference of opinion. Remember this is a public forum.
I also think Agent's should post their names. I notice that most derogatory posts are done anonymously. If you don't have the guts to put your name to such comments, maybe you should not be posting.
