2nd VAC payment & Form 815 signed

[Joseph]

Dear Friends,

 

C/O team 6 emailed and requested me to pay 2nd VAC and sign the form 815 on 12-May-2014. I have run through most of threads here and understood that there's some delay/slowdown in visa grant until the first of July. I highly appreciate if someone can share your pieces of advice as following.

 

1. By paying and signing these requirements, does it means that my visa is on the way to approve?

2. Have I got to wait until the first of July for visa processing or can I have visa granted earlier?

 

Thanks,

Hope you all getting visa grant soon.

Not sure about any delay until July, but when we paid our 2nd VAC in 2007 the visa was granted a short time after.

Hi Mike,

 

Thanks for your information, I have recently found some of them got visa grant after 02 or 04 days form 815 submitted but others took a month. I keep awaiting another week and will contact CO to figure out.

 

Thanks,

Joseph

I believe they only ask for the second payment if the visa is going to be granted. I can't see why you will have to wait till July for the grant. My guess is you will have it soon.

Hi Stevie and All,

 

I sent anini email to C/O last week to inform them the 2nd VAC had been paid (c/w receipt) and form 815 had been signed but they then came back with standard message:"Skilled Nominated category now has limited number of places left for the 2013-2014 program year and processing times will be longer and the Department cannot grant further visas in this category during this programme year once the remaining places are used"

 

I also find the valued information in the form 990i, Charges – June 2013, note 8b, page 8, from website www.immi.gov.au/allforms/990i.htm which states clearly about 2^nd VAC payment before the grant of visa.

 

I am quite depressing now after a long waiting.

 

Thanks,

Joseph
