nikci Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hi all, Just received this and thought would let you know seeing as there has been some movement albeit it not much - at least it is going in the right direction: RECEIPTING AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF APPLICATIONS The ASPC is currently receipting new applications within service standards. Once an application has been receipted it undergoes validity checking and an acknowledgement letter with client information and a receipt will be sent. If an application is determined to be invalid documents will be returned and a refund of the visa application charge arranged. As of 1 April 2008 the ASPC Admin Section is processing applications as follows: Onshore Applications: receipting and acknowledging applications received on 27 March 2008. Offshore Applications received after 1 September 2007: receipting and acknowledging applications received on 26 March 2008. Offshore Applications received prior to 1 September 2007: All applications with a valid payment have now been receipted. The ASPC is acknowledging offshore applications received on 30 August 2007. Please note that any delay in acknowledging an application does not affect the date on which a valid application is recorded as having been received and does not delay processing of the application. Once an application has been acknowledged it will be allocated to a case officer for further assessment as soon as possible, however, the ASPC receives a large number of applications and you will not be contacted immediately. PROCESSING AND ALLOCATION INFORMATION - For the week of 1 April 2008 Applications lodged on or before the dates shown below have been allocated to case officers for further processing. Applications Lodged Before 1 September 2007 Onshore Skilled visas (permanent and provisional) Student/Graduate applications - Class DD and DE visas Subclass 880: 18 August 2007 (paper), 9 August 2007 (e-lodged) Subclass 881: 29 August 2007 (paper), 29 August 2007 (e-lodged) Subclass 882: 29 August 2007 (paper), 29 August 2007 (e-lodged) Onshore Skilled Independent Regional (Provisional) (SIR) – Class UX visas Subclass 495: All applications: all applications are now allocated to case officers New Zealand Citizen (Residence) - Class DB visas Subclass 861, 862 and 863: all applications are now allocated to case officers Offshore Skilled visas (permanent and provisional) Skilled Migration visas - All paper based applications for Class BN, BQ, BR, UX and UZ visas Subclasses 134, 136, 137, 138, 139, 495 and 496: 2 May 2007 e-lodged Skilled Independent Regional (Provisional) applications Subclass 495: all applications are now allocated to case officers Applications Lodged After 1 September 2007 General Skilled Migration visas: Class VE, VF,VB and Class VC subclass 487 Subclasses: 175, 176, 475, 476, 885, 886, 887, and 487 E-lodged: 8 November 2007 Paper lodged: 16 September 2007 General Skilled Migration visas: Class VC subclass 485 only E-lodged: 29 September 2007 Paper lodged: 16 September 2007 Hope this helps, Nikci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattswalkaboutgang Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I did read it wrong..serves me right for rushing...Oh well Jo x Thats how i read it too Jo!! Think you were right the 1st time. It's says Applications lodged on or before the dates shown below ( before sept 2007) have been allocated to case officers for further processing. We are waiting for our sub class 136 too, although have had a case officer for ages, seems they do it all different. We had a case office allocated to our case before we were instructed to do our meds etc, anyway just had meds finalised a week or so ago so hopefully wont be too much longer for us or your friends. Here's hoping anyway, ohhhh!! put hopping then instead of hoping but to be honest think hopping is more like it anyway..Ha ha!!! I'll be so glad when the waiting is over!! Best wishes Alison x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bailey Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Applied for visa class 176 (paper based) which was ack 14th January 2008, Meds and Police checks sent in last month. Process times do not seem to be moving fast and with the continued high volume of new applications it would appear to me that times will slow even further. Went to the Olympia show last weekend and spoke to the australian visa department about the process times. They said that the online applications for 176 are being dealt with first and the paper based applications will be looked at at some stage!!, but as most new applications are being submitted as online applications, I coudl be waiting a long long long time. Anyone else on a 176 paper based application who submitted after say August 2007? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sarah & Damo Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 So I am reading right in that all 136 applications made before Sept 2007 have been allocated case officers???If thats right I know someone that will be real happy Or am I reading it completely wrong? Jo x Hi Jo! No we're Aug 07 136 MODL and we still don't have a case officer (or not that we've been told anyway!! Booooo!) That e-mail said they're only up to May 07 for paper based apps but surely that can't be right???!!!!!!! Oh well.....just keep waiting - we'll be there soon hopefully!!!!!

jaq4chop Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hi, We sent our 175 skilled migration application off on 23 April (paper based by our agent) and received an acknowledgement & receipt on 29 April. ince then not lot has happened. ( Not that I expect to hear anything for a while) Every Tuesday I send off my blank e-mail for the updated processing dates, they don't seem to have made any progess at all. I read in a thread a copy & paste of the info e-mail dated 1 April that applications sent after 1 Sep 07 ones received on 16 Sep are about to be processed & given case workers. The info mail I got this week said that apps received on 19 Sep are being done now. Have they really only moved on 3 days in 2 months????????? I am raelly interested in timelines that other people are experiencing & a bit of advice on meds & police checks. Our agent says don't get meds or police checks done until a case worker is allocated but in the info that came in the acknowlegement from DIAC said if meds & police checks are with the file when a case worker is allocated the process will go a bit quicker. I know the checks & meds are valid for 1 year & we want to go within a month of getting the go ahead. Has anyone else come up against this one? Any advice???????? cheers & good luck to all you Aussie Wannabeeeeees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
