My colleague applied on 27th July and we both got approved on Saturday. I'm not sure if her application made mine get processed quicker (as we are from same company with same nomination documents).
Good luck everyone.
Thats very unlucky. I really hope it comes through soon.
I'm 29th August so another couple months, but if I'm unlucky, then it will probably come through in August!
Cheers
I understand the spreadsheet is an overall snapshot of the thousands of applications but I actually believe that it slightly exaggerates processing times as people are more likely to enter their information if they have been waiting for longer than expected. I know a few people who have got theirs in under 7 months recently. I expect the CO to open the file before 7 months generally but understand that you can be unlucky.
It seems that if the CO requests more information it delays the approval by over a month and are more likely to request info from the nomination side.
