mrogers Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi everyone, not been on here for a couple of years. We lodged our skilled migration 175 visa back in Sept 2009, I read that we would have a decision by the end of 2012. At the time it seamed like a life time away but now it has been and gone. For the last few months I have been logging on checking my application but nothing has changed since the day I lodged it. No case officer has been assigned to me so nothing has happened. The message is as always, 'Application being processed further'. Does anyone have any inside knowledge or some informed idea of how much longer we realistically have to wait? Thanks for your time, Mark and Family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZZIES Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Surely you should have heard by now. Have you contacted them, my friend got left hanging until she contacted them, they processed her straight away, she got her visa last year from 2009. Send them an email.

lebourvellec Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 What is your occupation, your only options is to wait, or try and get State Sponsorship and change your application to 176. Or look at Skill Select and re-apply under new rules. There are many Cat 5 applications in same situation as yourselves. From DIAC they are only up to May 2008 with allocation of applications http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/estimated-allocation-times.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arshad Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 check out this post http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/118718-new-category-5s-where-you-now.html there are many people with 175 like you there, read back the posts till mid dec or so and you will find many people in 175 have talked about your issue and some have started to get COs, you will have an idea of how far they have gone in the allocation and how much estimated time there is for you. you can put up questions which probably others will answer. many in 2008 have got COs, i believe your time should come in the next few months as they have finally started to process 175 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrogers Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks at least with this info I know where DIAC are upto. I know CAT 5 is the bottom of priority, so when they said end of 2012 they must of under estimated the timeframe. Only 16 more months of applications to get though, hopefully they will get through these quicker. I dont want to change my application as everything has been submitted, I have waiting so long another year isnt going to make much difference. thank, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
