That was not my question.

I just talked to my MA. He had no granted visa since May. I was just wondering if someone of you logged the official processing times. I looked in the web cache but could only find following: March Direct Entry Pa 11 months 12 months Transition Path 8 months 9 months 17. May 17 Temporary Re 9 months 11 months Direct Entry str 13 months 14 months 14 June 2017 Temporary Re 9 months 11 months Direct Entry str 13 months 14 months 20. Jul 17 Temporary Re 8 months 11 months Direct Entry str 13 months 15 months Has someone more data?

Right. But they are more happy let in skilled people than people who don't have any other option. I do have many other options. Compared to other people here in the forum, praying is not one of them. I just pick one of the other countries with high salary and life quality.

no mate. I have a friend who is waiting since months for a simple temporary graduate visa. We should contact media. Not only is unfair for us but rather it has a negative impact on the economy. My boss thinks since Feb 2016 that I will start working full time any day soon. He has no alternative than me.

I also think that they stopped processing. Since I applied the processing time roughly increased each month by one month. And this visa is priority group 1. I am skilled IT person with research experience and my boss really needs me starting ASAP. My MA said it too risky for me to go on bridging visa, so I am on a student visa working part time. I think they will change the rules retrospectively and that will cause most visas to be invalid. They take their time to define everything and so long everything is on hold. BTW is there any other IT person waiting? I am in month 12.

How do you think it is different for IT professionals? I am waiting 11 month so far (DE 187, software developer, QLD). .

@JonnyP: where? I can only see the announcement on that site but no processing times.

Does anyone know where I can find the "processing times" as mentioned in: http://www.border.gov.au/News/Pages/global-visa-and-citizenship-processing-times.aspx
