redindian Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hello, I am just wondering what's happened about 489 visa process. I have lodged my visa in 23 january 2013 for 489 visa subclass. CO allocated 12 March 2014 and on 03 rd April medical and Police Clearance papers submitted as requested by CO. I hard that a very limited visa would be issued untill 1s July. But its 20 th July now. Still I am waiting for my visa approval. Can any one tell me whats wrong about 489 visa system. I am not sure whether 489 visa is still in abeyance or still on process. Need some help.

Actually I it is frustrating to wait for a long time for visa issued especially when the standard time frame for visa issue is about 3 months. If you don't mind One more question: If you applied for 489 visa or 190 visa? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina77 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hi we submitted all our docs etc on the 28th April and we have not heard a thing we don't have a CO allocated as yet so there is no one we can contact. Its so frustrating the long wait :arghh: Just hoping we hear something very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind One more question: If you applied for 489 visa or 190 visa? Thanks. We applied for a 489 SS Visa Thats exactly what we thought until others in the 190 visa categories started emailing their CO'S and then receiving grants within a few days. Some had even lodged after us. After 3 sleepless nights I finally sent an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina77 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 We don't have a CO so there is no one we can email. I spoke to my agent who said that there is no one to contact so we will just have to wait and wait and wait :arghh: The hardest thing is seeing others being granted there visa after only lodging in June and even some in July we have been waiting since April. Any info would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any info would be greatly appreciated Dear Christina77, Can you please tell us your visa subclass. Usually each visa category has its standard time frame to be allocated a CO though standard time frame is not followed strictly in all cases. But if you are a applicant of subclass 190 or 489 then you can expect that CO would be allocated within 2 months. You can follow the link to find out the detailed http://www.immi.gov.au/about/charters/client-services-charter/visas/8.0.htm. Hope very soon a CO would be allocated.

redindian Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Is it family sponsored or state sponsored ???? Actually it is state sponsored (South Australia) 489 visa application. By the way, recently my CO from team 33 has requested to provide Polio Vaccination Evidence though Polio Vaccination Evidence is not applicable for me as I am neither an applicant from these ten countries (Afghanistan, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Iraq, Israel, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria) nor stayed there for a moment. I replied to my CO on 2nd August about this matter and again no reply from him. I am not sure why my CO is delaying so much to make a decision and claiming some unnecessary documents...
