yes, and we'll only know it if such applicants share their update on the forums here!!

Yes i agree, the new sheet is simpler and targeted. It can help understand current processing patterns. We should add the column for "Processing Center" because I assume people can send paper applications to processing centres which are different from their residence city. Jump in guys!!

To help ascertain the pattern of processing, I suggest we should share our info in following format. Application submitted: 21-07-2017 Residence City: Brisbane Application type: Paper Application Processing center: Brisbane office Received email after 18th October announcement: No
