Date of Visa Application - 14 January 2014 Case officer assigned / Request for further info - 13 February 2014 Visa Grant Date - 20 March 2014 I can only imagine those still waiting are being held up by either A. points hierarchy, or B. complexity of application. You will all get there though don't worry....

finally got my 189 visa grant this morning. today is a good day!!

i'm also with team 08 adelaide. read somewhere on the internet though that they are notoriously slow at processing

Just a quick question. I have recently submitted my EOI for a 189. Will I need to have my skills assessment certified by a solicitor, etc. for the main visa application? Many thanks

i've had a number of documents certified only in black and white. Not color. Would this mean that black and white docs would be rejected then?

went to a local solicitor for all of mine, charged me £10 for the lot!!

hey vats , worrying to hear it has taken that long for your skills assessment to return. I have recently sent my application to be assessed only 2 weeks ago. The AACA don't strike me as the most progressive of organisations in respect of the limited options and fashion in which they request payment. I know they officially state that assessments take up to 16 weeks to process, but there are not many people on this forum that are applying under 'architect' that would suggest a heavy workload for the overseas education assessment department of the AACA. From what you have said, it sounds alarming and rather unreasonable by the AACA.
