cheers garry for the update! less than 3 weeks for a reply was pretty good.... was it a generic email they sent you?

cheers Nemesis ::nothing to see here::

Any update guys? @GarrySingh 12th Feb @thelostcrab 30th March @Sulav Patel Hows @Charlottehill76 @Priscilla101 have you made the move yet? .... not a sausage on my end

Nemesis, Barry is right The cities you want phone numbers for are "To get in touch with us, click here​." which then turns to be a 6 digit 131 number. I rang australia house in London... waste of time

If i was you, i'd book a return flight before submitting the visa. Say if you did your farming in Cairns. Book the flight in Sydney... it'll show your intentions if you have to appeal. There's too many people returning to Oz and working cash in hand for their last company and not having a return flight.

I see flipflops (thongs) on building sites alot believe it or not. Get yourself a good hat dude! and a big tub of suncream from woolies for $10... Boots from Kmart will last you a month or two (shoe laces snap). go for some decent ones from Bunnings. They seem to have a different range in each one. Oxley and Rocklea Bunnings always seem to have a good range of sizes. Indooroopilly is small n crap, same goes for the one in the city (albion). Stafford bunnings never have my size (uk10), buy yourself a pair of gumboots too as their cheap af. Rarely see people with hard hats on.

i daren't ring them up, incase they get the arse on.... :: calling anyone who's reading this, who's rang DIBP for their upadates/experiences, over the phone :: don't mention any telephone numbers though, otherwise the Pomsinoz Police will get angry ::

@ABG - Something I read from another forum, which might be of interest to you - PM me if you want link Friends, probably its game over for me wrt my Australian visa.. My current company HR who received the call from the Australian Embassy in Dubai to verify my employment was informed by the embassy about my visa application.. i dont know what the conversation happend but the embassy sent them the pdf copy of the letter which was signed by my reporting manager for verification.My reporting manager is not authorised signatory on company letter head. The HR summoned both of us and have initiated termination of our contracts due to violation of HR policy. I dont know whether my HR will respond to that email by the embassy. Considering the situation they would probably give adverse information to the AUS embassy verification officer. I have no idea what my next step should be. Do i have an option of emailing the Case officer of my current situation, or wait for the PIC4020 order which will definately come...Unfortunate!! but thats life.. i hope DIBP has a better way of doing verification atleast for the current employment so that someone would not lose their job!!!..

look on the positive side. At least there is some clarification that they're working on your case, despite it being in June. Which isn't that long ago in Visa processing aspects. let the waiting commence

Highly annoying for you more than me, although I submitted my visa 8th dec, uploaded all docs on the Jan 2nd. But I've been asked for further documents twice, the last one being April 12th, but nothing since..... therefore I was going to say, if you had been asked, then I'd count the months from, the Unofficial complete application date. I've been waiting 8 months, but really only 4 months. I havnt bothered emailing them or calling them, because I reckon I'll get the same responses as you have... and I cant see them answering my questions over the phone... they must get them all the time.

Sulav have you uploaded any documents since Jan 12th ?

nothing on my end dude.... very frustrating.... I think we'd make good decorators, watching paint dry.

seriously, do some reading up on this forum, there's plenty of information on here. Surely with 44 posts, you know the forum well enough to know that this thread is BS

did you take any holidays during that one year? I'm just thinking.... because when I was working casual, we didn't get paid holidays, therefore it would be the same as you, unpaid 2 week holiday? I'm no expert, just a thought

Can't see Australia immi making it any easier to get in, by lowering 7s Proficient English to 6.5. I could only ever see them making it harder... and raising it.

I've Started keeping track of the data updated on immi gov I've compared the data from the old table, which I recorded on the 17th July(it could be older) and todays updated table 30th July Which gives a reasonable understanding to what occupations was issued Visa invitations this month Total Visas : 948 Issued please note: the 17th july table could be older, but it was the day I recorded the information. July was the start of the year, so its fair to say its not too inaccurate, hope this helps YELLOW = How many Issued / Change ::table has messed up:: [TABLE] [TR] [TD]CODE[/TD] [TD]Occupation[/TD]

Hello Thought I'd ask all the migration experts on their experience of waiting times, Onshore vs Offshore applications. I know every case is different, but generally do you find or not find at all, that they differ on waiting times from submission to grant. Do you feel or not feel that onshore applications tend to have priority over offshore? Kind regards Luke

whats the occupation ur getting assessed for Jamie?

Do one or the other, I posted all mine as payslips wouldn't scan properly. Where as my Friend did his solely online and didn't send any documents by post. You'll save a lot of money on paper and ink and a new printer if you do it online PS: They was pretty slow at telling me my final result, they wouldn't tell me on the phone till I sent in a hard copy of the First Aid cert, but the result was online anyway.

I emailed them a question at the start, and it took them 6 weeks to reply, it was actually like 20min before they update me for further documents. So in my head, was they only looking at my email because they was on the case, or update the case because of the email... I reckon they'll have a huge back log of emails.

nothing either i'm afraid #fedup

@MaggieMay24 does the 'competition' have a forum? no, does pomsinoz have a tracker system or anything similar... no? ill say no more.

it'll come soon! I put another message up before my last one but its not there anymore Basically it said, if you filter out the latest granted visas. Look at the earliest Submission date. it was the 16th June, so the table above is pretty accurate. #LuckyF****

Out of all 345 Lodged applicants from Jan 1st to present and granted. 116 have them have waited over 70 days Out of all 177 Lodged applicants (not including Direct grants) from Jan 1st to present and granted. 74 of them have waited over 70 days. I say that's a big chunk I'm on 186 days, @thelostcrab will be similar

doesn't mean lot in our situation by the looks of it, but it shows where they're currently at. it's showing that people have had their visa granted, since submitted their application before/ and up to the 10th June. "The tables below list the earliest lodgement dates for applications that have been allocated to processing teams. You can use this information to determine when your application will be allocated and to ensure your application is complete and ready for assessment." [TABLE=class: table-100, width: 512] [TR] [TH]Visa subclass[/TH] [TH]Priority group 3[/TH] [TH]Priority group 4[/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD]189 Skilled – Independent[/TD] [TD]N/A[/TD] [TD]10 June 2016[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]190 Skilled – Nominated[/TD] [TD]25 May 2016[/TD] [TD]N/A[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]489 Skilled – Regional[/TD] [TD]25 May 2016[/TD] [TD]10 June 201​6[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Which is highly annoying because they're having a 1 month turn around. I think I should stop looking at these things, its giving false hope. I think i'll:cry:soon.
