We got a CASE OFFICER! Finally, after 24 month and 2 days. 188B from Germany. Still a long list of requested documents:

a) do medical again. Why they as for it in the beginning when you apply, as it is max. valid 18 month and processing time is more than that? 

b) police check of all countries we lived more than 12 month withhin the last 10 years. Difficult to optain during Corona. 

c) Divers documents regarding the investment, point test etc. 

Our immigration agent will check now the list and we will see how much effort it takes to provide all this documentation. They gave us 70 days to do so. 

Great news and good luck with the final hurdle.

Congratulation Arthur very pleased for you.

Hello dears,

I lodged my visa 143 application on 20 Sep 2016. I used the calculator updated 20 May 2020. It showed that the approx. number of persons ahead of you in the queue: 9220. This number includes applicants being considered for visa grant this program year.

I have not received any request from the Department.

Hello to All,

I do follow this thread, although I have not commented before because our application will not get processed any time soon.  With reference to the calculator, we applied for 143 on 27/01/17. I checked the Queue calculator on 28/05/20 and there was 13340 people ahead of us. so from 20/9/16 to 27/1/17 there must have been approx. 4120 extra applications according to the calculator. According to the spreadsheet above the figure is just over 3800 (approx.). So in this case the spreadsheet is a good tool for guidance and we all must remember that nothing is certain, so many things can change over time.

Hi All

Since we are all under Corona restrictions and waiting for our 188. I came across this very interesting article worth a read if you have not read it.
