Where did you get that info from?

This is why we paid for an agent

Congratulations the last few months were a bit scary!!! . Now it’s getting yourself ready to jump a few more hurdles before finally arriving in Australia

Had a quote today that had 0% in the tax box , is overseas shipping vat free ?

I know WA has a travel embargo of 525 arrivals per week by air , what happens if you arrive by cruise , can you enter this way on PR.

We had ours granted 2nd June

We are no hurry as we have a house/car swop arranged for September and they have not cancelled yet. , although we won’t be using their house in Perth we will go away in our motorhome if they come .

Visa granted today what a surprise

This is not the case we paid second VAC on 23rd March and are still waiting .

We applied through an agent and information from IMMI is routed to them first , so no idea if they send receipts

Hi If you take a queue date of 24/08/2015 the figures are as follows Update Queue Total Processed 18/06/16 4340 28/07/16 4310 30 18/08/16 4280 30 10/10/16 4240 40 10/11/16 4210 30 08/02/17 4160 50 16/03/17 4140 20 01/06/17 4090 50 10/01/18 4000 90 28/03/18 3990 10 03/08/18 3950 40 10/01/19 3940 10 14/02/19 3920 20 16/04/19 3900 20 14/06/19 3830 70 08/07/19 3810 20 20/08/19 3730 80 06/09/19 3720 10 25/10/19 3640 80 21/11/19 3620 20 21/02/20 1060 07/04/20 1050 so they have processed 740 applications/visas from 18/06/16 to 21/11/19 about 200 per year . As you can see the figures posted for 2020 were obviously wrong and now the queue dates for 103/804 are amalgamated it is not possible to isolate one queue from the other

There are always a number of cases that drag on for years , about 200 in the 103 queue

Up until last month IMMI published the queue date figures for 103 and 804 separately , so if you kept queue date figures month by month on a spreadsheet you could see how many were being processed by update .

It’s even worse when you have paid second vac and visas are not issued . Not far short of sharp practice !!!

As I have previously mentioned they have now amalgamated the queue dates for 103/804 visas . My original date for 103 was 24/08/2015 and I was 30010 and at the time the 804 date was around 4000 . I think a mistake occurred between November 2019 and feb 2020 with the 804 visa as it went from 3620 to 1060 and clearly they did not process this amount of visas in this short time .
