Yes - we were just told they were busy and we had to wait. Also submitted a written formal complaint at the end of April and was told that we would have response within 10 working days - we heard nothing! Another phone call to follow that up gave us the same response - you just have to wait!!?
-
No, nothing here. 22 weeks since our AoS paperwork was submitted and still waiting for contact by Centrelink. Already used up 5 months of our 12 month validity for police checks and medicals and nothing even remotely in sight.
-
My goodness, that is amazing. We really don't know what to do - it is 21 weeks today since our daughter submitted the paperwork and we just keep being told that it is on the system and we just have to wait. How long we have to wait is the burning question!
-
@Geoffandgill Did you submit your AoS paperwork on line? I'm guessing you did as it was such a short time between submission and acceptance.
-
@ant111 Could you tell me what telephone number you used to contact Centrelink re this please?
-
Up to 12 weeks???? That is very interesting. We are now over 20 weeks and are still waiting to hear something. We have been quoted 8 weeks and 18 weeks by Centrelink and have exceeded both of these. We are at a complete loss as to what to do next. Is there anyone else out there who has been waiting this long?
-
Still waiting to hear that AoS is approved!
-
Could you put you dates on your signature line so we can see your progress please. If you go into your account settings and then click on signature - you can then put all your dates in.
-
Already done that - a few times.
-
I know - but time is marching on!!!
-
That would be nice if some places were held for those awaiting AoS clearance. However I'm not holding my breath that we will slip in with that. Nearly 18 weeks and still no contact from Centrelink regarding our AoS. I think we will definitely be after 1 Jul for granting of our visa - just hoping we get there before we need to re-do police checks and medicals!
-
Our daughter has already telephoned 3 times and called once - still no joy!
-
Processing times now shown as 38 - 40 months for 143.
-
At least @Tidang has had AoS approved - we are still waiting for that!
-
@SusieRoo You and me both!!!
-
We haven't even had our AoS approved yet! 15 weeks and waiting! Can you give us details of your dates - submission of application, additional forms, medicals, AoS etc. Thanks.
-
This is really getting ridiculous Not to have been asked for further docs etc at the stage you are at is crazy. Especially when you compare yourselves with HarrisL16 who applied after you and has already had the visa granted. The whole thing seems to be getting out of hand both with Centrelink and IMMI. Let's hope they sort things out soon.
-
When did you lodge? Could you put details on your signature.
-
We lodged in paper form - on line wasn't available when we lodged. So if your idea of last-in-first-out basis is correct we probably won't get a look in for months. So unfair.
-
I really cannot understand the disparity in the AoS processing times. There is Thomas 1965 who has his interview within 1 day of submitting the docs and then approval after 4 days and here we are still waiting for a call after over 14 weeks. Some people seem to get action if they call Centrelink, but we have called and sent e-mails all to no avail. Anyone got any suggestions? We are getting desperate here!
-
We've used Moneycorp - no problems at all. Very good service.

Well, we have just managed a quick call with our daughter. She spent 1 hour 20 mins on the phone this morning waiting to speak to someone at AoS Centrelink. They have confirmed (again) that all the AoS paperwork was received on 3 Jan and that it is all in order. She was advised that the time for processing is 18 weeks! Slightly longer than the 8 weeks which other people have been quoted. She was told to check again in the middle of May! Having done a spreadsheet with 13 people who have had their AoS approved it would seem that the average waiting time from submission to interview is 10 weeks - the shortest waiting time was 6 weeks and the longest 17 weeks. The majority were contacted within less than 9 weeks. We are at 14 already and still waiting. We are seriously thinking we will have to put in a complaint. The only good thing about the phone call was that they confirmed that as we had submitted prior to 1 April the old rules apply to us.

FANTASTIC!!!
-
Please don't give up. We will get there in the end I'm sure.
-
@NanaJan Thank you - I'll definitely be contacting him this weekend!
