Hey everyone. Just wanna share some news I got from a chatgrp that I joined from another forum.This info came from someone who works for dibp.

 

"All the backlog will be cleared by maximum oct. DIBP paced up their process in August and they have been given the target to clear all the backlog by end oct irrespective of the time lines given for processing. This is for all visa lodged before 1 July."

 

At least something to look forward to if this is true. Yeay for us!

 

Can you share what other forum you got this info from? Appreciated!

One grant today for 190 lodged in Jun 2017 .

Why are our grant pending for so long? My friends who applied in late 2015 and early 2016 had theirs approved within 3-4 mths 

Anyone else with grants today?

Where did you see this? As in how do you know how many grant was approved on a daily basis?

Hello everyone! This is my first post in this forum. Been a silent reader of this forum so far.

 

I can totally understand the agony of waiting. I'm waiting for my 190 visa from Sydney as well although may not be as long as some of you have. I lodged mine on 12th May. CO contacted on 22nd May to which I provided on 19th Jun. I lodged my application via an agent and so has been waiting ever since for the good news.

 

A friend who lodged her 489 in Nov 2016 got her grant on 9 Aug. Since it was Singapore's independence day on 9 Aug, having the grant is akin to gaining her own independence .

 

Let's hope we all get our grant pretty soon! May this week bring more grants to us all!

 

Your dates are very similar to mine.. Do let me know when you got it! I will do the same as well : )
