Yes it must be a drain on the Dept's resources and also takes up time that could be used by those with genuine issues. I do all my checking on line but you just get you status expressed as one work '"received" which is a little opaque. It would be good to know your approximate position in the queue.

Yep its frustrating. Christmas and New Years were good distractions but the benefit of these distractions have been offset by the passing of the 6 month mark (and I feel for those who are waiting longer). I do think the Dept would benefit from being a little more transparent regarding what appears to be longer that usual processing times but I have to say I don't envy the people presumably working in resource constrained teams who have to deal with all of the calls. Hindsight is a fine thing but the worst thing I did is register with Immi so I can check my visa status myself. I have to ration myself to 1 check a day and even that is non-value add as any changes will get auto emailed to my MA who is very responsive.

very jammy then... I suppose someone has to be! I had some emotional attachment to the 6 month mark too. My MA regularly referenced a 6 months processing time up front but started talking about things taking longer around November (my visa nom was 21 June) although I'm a Direct Entry applicant and I'm pretty sure these are taking a little longer to process.
-
Are they just jammy or was their something unusual e.g. submitting their nomination application >3 months earlier than submitting their visa application?
-
The shared spreadsheet indicates that the processing times for applications made between Jan 2016 and June 2016 has been running at about 8 months. Almost there! Is your application Transition or Direct Entry?
-
Here's hoping!
-
Progress though and that would be in line with the 7 to 8 month average processing times in the shared spreadsheet! My visa application was submitted on 21 June so based on the average processing times in the spreadsheet I'm expecting/hoping that my application will be processed no later than mid to late Feb.

Hopefully this will mean you will get some good news soon!

Hi Shiv, That sounds positive. Do you know if the status or your application changed as a result of a Case Office opening your file? I'm on a similar time line to you (Nom 16 June, Visa 21 June albeit I'm a DE applicant and I think you are a Transition applicant) and my status shows as received so I've not been chasing my MA for an update and I'm now wondering if I should be.
-
I'm no expert but it looks to me like the Dept use the nomination lodgment date to set the order in which they process applications. Fingers crossed your get your visa approval soon.
-
Congratulations! What are your details? HR/LR, Trans/DE, Nomination lodged and visa lodged dates etc?
-
Thank you Manson

Hi Everyone, I'm interested in tracking the status of my 186 DE application online. Is anyone able to advise how I can do this? It's probably worth noting that I've made my application 186 DE application using a migration agent (who has been excellent I just don't want to bother the migration agent) and I'm not interested in calling DIBP. cheers Richo

Thank you mate. I've added myself to June 2016.

Hi, How do I find the spreadsheet? I'd like to add my details and see how things are going for everyone else.
