Hope this helps

Jeff,
i think this is how it works mate:

You send your main application off and you get a letter back with the date it was received ( in my case June 14th )

The processing date is the date of the applications they are looking at, currenlty April 18th to 20th for priority offshore in my case.

When this processing date gets to June 14th they will be looking at mine and will give me a case officer, who will then look at my application, if everthing looks ok he will request medical and police checks.

If they come back ok your out of here!

Cheers :lol:

thanks brookesy
this means its approx 10 months from date of main application
all the best jeff

This information is great, as sometimes it seems as if the applications are lost in a stack of mail.

Does anybody have any details of the time schedules at the Perth office which deals with parent applications.

[nico]

Hello, Hayshake. I don't think they publish details for the parent visa applications, but some people seem to be reporting about a 9 month wait for a case officer, maybe even longer......
