Still showing the same as received but I got an email from immigration today and thought my luck was in.......... Dear Matt, Thank you for your email. Your application is not yet allocated to case officer. Please refer to the auto reply email you have received when you send below email for the current processing time. Applications are allocated in order of the date of lodgement and in line with Ministerial directions. Regards, As helpful as a cafe on the moon!!!!!

Hi all. I spoke with immigration this morning in regards to my 186 and they informed me that the application was in progress but my account is still stating that is has been only been received.Can anyone clarify what this actually means? Has it been allocated or is it just sat waiting in a void that time forgot? Both the sponsor and visa was lodged on the same day 16th August 2016. Any advice would be great. Cheers.
