Hi Steve,
We applied for our 888 A visa on last April 2020 . Now we have been waiting for 16th months. But still doesn't have any results. In my immi account I noticed that even my file has not been opened yet as it says the lodged date as last updated date. Any idea of the processing time of this visa category? Department of home affairs said 21-23 months for processing this visa . It's very long waiting period.
Our 188 A visa expires on the 14th of September 2021. What will happen next? They said that the bridging visa A will active if our current visa ends before our new application has been finalised. I have two children currently studying two major degrees in Australia. We never expected this visa processing time to be this long. We are currently experiencing very big financial difficulties due to these expenses for my children's degrees. I was hoping to get some advise which could help us ease our situation a bit.
Thanks
Regards

Hi Shayamali
I totally agree the processing times are very long indeed. There is little that can be done at the moment. It appears to me, DHA allocates resources (manpower) to areas which are deemed a priority. My gut feel is that the 188's (provisional) are viewed as a higher priority, in particular, the 188c which I have observed, a notable acceleration in processing times.
I can offer little advice other than to be patient and hope processing times pick up.

Hi Steve,
Is there any news about the processing time of of 888 A visas? We are in 188 A subclass. Applied for PR 18th month ago, April 2020. No any news , even not our file has been opened yet. Department of home affairs recently changed t 26-31 months for processing for this visa . earlier it was 21-24 months Why is that? Very disappointed.
Any new information about this?
Thanks
