  1. It doesn’t look like they’ll grant full allocation. So frustrating.
  2. @Sherlock Panic over! I got a revised queue letter today. We’ve now got our application date as our queue date - 18/07/18. It looks like they are amending all queue dates issued to applications made since 01/06/23. Phew!
  3. @Sherlock I think Alan means it is not correct that you have a queue date the same as your application date, unless you applied before 1st June 2018. Hopefully, @Alan Collett will reply to clarify.
  4. @Sherlock Thanks, Sherlock. I don’t think the error is with my queue date. Other 143 applicants have been given much later queue dates than their application date. It is only seems to be applicants contacted recently that have been given their application date, as their queue date. I have emailed my migration agent so, hopefully, he can shed some light on this.
  5. Thanks. Yes I am aware of this. My application date is 18/07/2018 and my queue date is 10/05/21. Two posts on different forums yesterday, said they had just received the queue date letter and had been given the application date as the queue date. One application October 2018, queue date October 2018, ( I can’t remember the exact date. They posted the queue letter but the post has since been deleted). The one posted on here yesterday, is a November 2018 applicant and they have confirmed they have also been given their application date as their queue date. My issue is that, despite applying later than me, their queue date is nearly 3 years earlier. I’m sure this is human error, (we all make mistakes), but I’m hoping that this is noticed and rectified, so everyone is dealt with timely and fairly.
  6. @Alan Collett can anything be done about this, Alan? Suddenly the queue dates have started being given as the date of application, meaning earlier applications have been given a much later queue date. This is the second one I heard about yesterday. Thanks.
  7. Please will you confirm that your queue date is 14/11/18 - the same as your application date? A post on another Social Media platform stated they’d received a queue date the same as their application date - October 2018. My queue date is 10/05/21 and my application date is 18/07/18.
  8. I read this too! At least there’s movement. To add your signature click on your name top right. Select account settings then signature should be on the left.
  9. I couldn’t agree more with your comments Lynda. I too have seen lots of posts on other forums saying the 804 visa is the way to go once borders open. I cannot get my head around being allowed to enter Australia on a tourist visa with no intention of being a tourist. Too many unfair loopholes that need looking at, urgently.
  10. Is it legal to go to Australia on a tourist visa with no intention of being a tourist?
  11. I am sure this is the case. I work for central government and since Covid I have not done my usual job but have been covering different roles depending where the priorities are.
  12. I agree with this Linda. The loophole to allow people to go over on a Tourist visa, apply for a 804 and then get issued a bridging visa whilst on-shore, needs closing.
  13. I think everyone has examples of this. I found it really bad, too. I’m sure it was because only one doctor was needed to sign death certificate when Covid was entered as the cause of death, instead of the usual two doctors needed (post Dr Shipman).
  14. Thanks for the reply, Linda. Wow! Still waiting for visa grants from May 2020 - slower than a snails pace. I wonder if the refusal rate increasing is due to the length of time waiting for visa processing and applicants getting older? The older we get the more chance of health conditions developing, resulting in possible medical failure.
  15. Has anyone been contacted to provide further information - medical, police checks etc? Is it me or does everything seemed to have stopped after the few grants at the start of the visa year?
  16. @AJM22 Very impressed with your research. Thank you for posting. I find the shortfall on grant of available visas since 16/17 concerning. I wonder why this is? Maybe staff shortages?
  17. Hi, The definition of Member of the Family Unit is limited to partners and dependent children. Your wife is not dependent on the main applicant, so she wouldn’t be included. It’s a few years since I completed the application but I remember only filling in one form - me being primary applicant and my husband the secondary applicant. My son completed the sponsorship form. Hope that helps.
  18. Thanks Alan! Please ignore the email I have just sent you. Panic over!
  19. I am assuming they will just take the next one out of the queue. Are you saying they will not start processing any 143 applications after May 18 lodgements for 3 years? Wow! I think I’ll ask our agent’s take on this.
  20. Hi, Applicants prior to June 18 are given their lodgement date as their queue date. I assume they will be processed in queue date order and ignore the 3 year gap. Going forward Immi will start using queue dates rather than lodgement dates. Will that be so processing wait times don’t seem as long, even though they are?
  21. It is a letter sent by email - Queue date assigned. You lodged your application a month before us, so I would have thought you would have heard by now.
  22. You will get an email. When did you lodge your application?
  23. Hi PCP, What day in July 2018 was your application lodged? We lodged ours 18th July 2018 but haven’t heard anything yet.
