may 175 granted???????

Ktb123 · 14-07-2008, 04:59 PM

is this really true? how can that be? is it a 175 visa?

find it v hard to believe (& my agent agrees) that they would jump 5/6 months & grant visas when they have sooo many in date order first! called them today & was told they have NEVER had a 175 visa granted in less than 6 months so they reckon it cant be true (currently getting grants for oct/nov & they had 1 from dec)
anyone else think this is a wind up?

hi it is true, they were very lucky to get the co when they did.
we are still waiting but thats life.
good luck with yours.
we hope we can be that lucky with our 175 visa.

I totally agree with you, they arent going to gain anything from making it up are they?

Hi I think its great that they have there visa`s I really do, but this kind of thing really pisses me off. Where is the logic in it. How the hell can the australian immigration decide to grant theres when there a queue as long as your arm that have been waiting for so long, its disgusting.
What it says to me is that it doesnt matter when you lodge, or if you have a job waiting for you, it is just the case where they think uh I think I will pick that one up cos I am such an inbread wan--r that they have no concept of time and are as thick as gordon brown.

completely agree
i find it v strange how some peop from over 12 months r still waiting a quick visa time is approx 7-9 months so how can 2 months be even enough time to carry out checks etc

maybe your agent has been given wrong info??? As you know things change on a regular basis with these things

maybe the pile of applications dropped on the floor and theirs was the first one picked up............

maybe theirs was a straight forward case.....

Maybe they have a really efficient CO

who knows the logic behind it all, but I cant see why they would come on here and say they had it if they hadnt.

Dont be bitter about it, you might get yours in the next few days,

maybe he was given the wrong info?
maybe its a 457?
online apps dont fall on the floor! (on a comp screen)
& as for the other suggestions that is the only straight forward case EVER! & is there only 1 efficient co in the whole ASPC? again i just find it hard to believe

Maybe they know someone on the inside

Or maybe this is the beginning of something and it's all going to be super duper quick

Thing is you may have an efficient CO but these days you now get passed to a DM too, you got to be pretty lucky to go 2 efficient people

Ile take my chances on inside job, not what you know who you know

Good luck to them though
