It has been a month? when did you apply?

You are allowed to contact AINP once the minimum processing time has passed - so go ahead and ask them what happened.
Are you sure your application reached AINP? did you send by courier?

Employer-driven skilled are at least one month while Employer-driven semi skilled is at least 4 months.

Well..most people I know and on this forum got within a month ( mostly less than a month)...I am not sure why it took 2 months for icecream...maybe they are just slow now (it also depends on the category and few other things).
However, you should get the file number within 30 days...
 
Yeah it was real slow that time...i know if it has something to do with the strike
 
In my case, yes, an employer can only nominate 1 employee
