Alan Collett Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 http://www.newsroom.immi.gov.au/releases/australian-visa-pricing-changes-to-drive-use-of-online-services The department’s eLodgement systems will go offline from late June 28 to early July 1 so IT systems can be updated before the pricing changes come into effect. You have been forewarned ...! Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeTMI Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 DIAC have updated the original message to say "Clients planning to apply online for any Australian visa, prior to the introduction of new visa pricing and policies on 1 July, are encouraged to lodge and pay for their application before 9 pm (AEST) on 28 June." http://www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/outage.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Thanks Tee. Why does DIAC have to take the site down before such a key date? Why can't they do it on the 1st and 2nd of July? 'tis a complete disregard of the interests of stakeholders. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTMI Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I suspect they would suggest it is so that it is up and running for the 1st July. However the reality is that on the 1st a few days here or there would not matter to many. I just hope the system holds until 9pm for anyone who is trying to make it in time.

Chaz06013 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hi Everyone, I am new on this forum, just joined after months of reading other people's posts. I have found the info very useful and reassuring that there are many people in the same boat as I am. My agent has finally applied for ENS 186 nomination and visa application together on 25/06/13 as DRC. My question is has anyone submitted DRC through an agent lately and around the same timeframe? Also, how soon do the documents need to be uploaded? Thanking you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
