Probable movement of allocation dates for category 4

applicants....

On 30 march 2012 --- Priority Group 4 -- 9

August 2011.. 1 month and 15 Days processed

ON 12 April 2012 --- Priority Group 4--- 15 October 2011.. 2 months and 6 days processed

On 26

April 2012 -----Priority Group 4 --- 30 November 2011...1 month and 15 days

processed..

On 10 May 2012 ---- Priority Group 4 ---- 1 January 2012 ....

1 month.....

On 24 May 2012 ---- Priority Group 4 ---- 15 February 2012..

1 month 15 days...

On 7 June 2012 ----- Priority Group 4 --- 15 April

2012.... 2 months...So according to my table category 5 offshore might

get started in June or July 2012...

But if they keep the speed of 2

months processing every fortnight, then they can start processing cateogry 5

offshore in end May or first week of June 2012....

Fingers crossed.

got an email from CO today requesting meds and pcc...

Good Luck for the speedy grant..

Just checked again and our visa was granted yesterday 7th April, we must enter Oz before 26th March 2013.

 

We still haven't told family yet, thought we might wait until i officially hear from our migration agent but don't know if i can wait that long!

 

Thank you to everyone who has congratulated us :biggrin:

Congratulations and amazing to see that people are getting visa in holidays. So it means some auto - computer generated system is helping case officers.

And they have given you one year time to enter Australia... very good.

Wow... congratulations...DIAC is working even in holidays guys..

Can you confirm what was date of your grant?

I do'nt know why DIAC struck to October. But I am sure they will be at lightening speed next week.

i'm pretty sure you don't, but i did mine and uploaded them yesterday.

 

I also got my co last night it's gonna be a few weeks on the grant though due to my misunderstanding/misreading of a certain rule, so i've got a little work to do.

good luck for speedy grant...

Hi everyone, we are in Sydney at the moment in our reccie trip.

Our case officer contacted the agent today asking if we could go offshore to NZ for our visa to be issued!

Very exciting, but we will wait as we are coming back to the Uk in a few weeks and then planning to move permanently in July anyway. Hope you are all doing great and congrats to everyone.

LOTS of Congratulations...

It's raining visas now..

Dear All

 

I received the pre-grant notification this evening! We are now starting to plan our trip outside the country to evidence the visa....great day for us....

 

cheers

Good to see my day start with a case officer to you..

Good luck for speedy grant.

Come on October.. we are waiting here....

I was contacted by our case officer this morning - Team 2. Requested PCC's (I had them and emailed them immediately), and medicals. Our medicals are booked for 20 April. Things starting to take shape nicely now!

Congratulations and good luck for speedy grant....

They have also removed the line that was showing that due to June applicants processing is slow. So it means they will be very fast in coming weeks.

Can I believe my eyes? Is this 9 August?There could be some mistake.

In fact this is true, officially announced by DIAC. this is great news. Wow great speed. Come on DIAC...

Uh, guys.

 

I checked my online application status yesterday afternoon at around 23:00 Adelaide time - and no progress or CO - but I got an email at around 10:00 adelaide time this SATURDAY MORNING (OMG! They're working on weekends!) to ALLOCATE ME A TEAM 4 CO, BABY! COLOUR US PINK!!!

I'm utterly gobsmacked! I've applied for PCCs (they take around 6 weeks here in South Africa) and I'll book the medicals when we get back from holiday (we're going away until after Easter).

 

DIAC - you guys rock! Thanks!!!

 

What a way to start the day! :jiggy:

 

PatrickW

That's really awesome...they are working even on the weekends. Congratulations to you and good luck for the future.

I decided not to get online into the forum as I thought there will not be any movement today.. This is amazing.

Rahul, I wish all your observations come true and Category 5 offshore get started soon.

Yes true but these three forums does not reflect the total number of applicants processed so far. There must be many more applicants in this category which are still to be processed.

Very optimistic Rahul... I hope this comes true. But I do think so.. Because in coming few weeeks there will be easter holidays.. so there will be no work.

My guess is between 25 to 30 June....

There are some guys in http://beupdate.co.uk/visa.php?month=Jun&year=2011 , who are still waiting for case officer. dates are 25 to 30 June 2011. And some of them are of pakistani origin. So be careful before asuming anything. I think it's too early to see July on the table. It will be june in this update.... But still fingers are crossed .. You never know which way things will turn.

Awesome.. Good speed.

there is a difference between the processing of Low Risk country applicants and High Risk Country applicants.

Great 24 September.........

I just received my pre-grant before lunch (from Team 6 :biggrin:). Below is my timeline:

 

ACS: 11/08/11, Visa lodged: 25/08/11, CO/Pregrant: 29/03/12

 

BTW, where can I find step-by-step instructions on evidencing my visa at an Australian overseas mission?

 

Cheers.

Amazing to see tommorrow's update..
