Been a silent reader for so long. Year after year, we patiently waited and hoped that our turn would come. They gave us hope by saying we would still be processed when everybody else would be done and and we believed them. We waited some more. And after 7 plus years, just like that, they decide to cap and cease our applications, they ignored the years we have invested waiting. I have siblings waiting for me in Australia but that reunion will never happen. Dreams and hopes crushed by a single decision after years of waiting. Why didn't they do this 5 years ago? I would've been eligible for a 189 or a 190 visa. The age alone has cost me 10 points if I apply today and because of that it is impossible for me to get 60 points. What were they thinking? So unfair, unjust and discriminating. words are not enough to express how I feel right now. I cannot even tell my son who is also looking forward to be with his cousins in Oz. This is just one of the saddest days of my life.

It's really frustrating how they give estimated processing times to everyone else except us. All we do is wait, wait and wait. They should atleast give us timeframes too. They've been keeping us in the dark year after year.

true. what a sad day indeed.

Am i the only one here who is not surprised with this latest update? i sort of expected this. i know how frustrating it is for everyone here. I have waited 4 years+ and they just keep pushing us down at the bottom of the line. What is it about FS? Why do they keep treating us this way? I really don't understand.... It's hard to stay positive in times like these :nah:
