Jus Waiting and waiting.. Geting mad!! You're still within the normal processing time, and your MA has already contacted DIBP. There's no point in you doing the same since they'd likely just tell you it's in process, normal processing times are xxxx and if they need more information they'll contact your MA.

GeoSurfer Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Rang up this morning, got through on 2nd attempt but mobile decided the mic was going to break so they hung up when they couldn't hear me. Rang from landline and never got through. 7AM is when the message goes to 'office closed'. :cry: I doubt they are but anyone know if they're open Saturdays?

GeoSurfer Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Rang 70 times, no answer. Sometimes the standard message so it's obviously the right number, sometimes it fails to ring through and says number not recognised. Wondering whether they've changed it to stop people ringing.

pome Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Just heard from my MA that our nomination was approved today! Both nomination and visa lodged on 2nd April. One step closer!

mickeyteg Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Guys - There is no definite timeline by which a CO need to get back. It depends on individual case. Every case is different and is handled differently, so please be patience and wait for the CO contact or grant. If all the document are fine by CO, they usually run an internal check, which is nothing but verifying the claims that you have made, i.e. employment, education, personal details, police check etc. These checks are usually done by the Australian consulate in respective country and the timeline may depend on the level of details they are seeking (e.g. someone with history of just single employment will be faster compared to ones who has worked with multiple employers etc.). Apart from this, if one has traveled to multiple countries for short term, they may run into other checks. For high risk countries, there could be security check done as well, which is done by another department in Australia and may take bit long. All these factors makes it difficult for anyone to estimate the grant time, even CO at times may not be aware of when he/she will receive the required details to proceed with grant. This is my personal View on visa timelines and I may be completely wrong here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a sensible post and like mickeyteg says it's virtually impossible to calculate because my application is different to yours which is different to the next person etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangaroohunting Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Mickeyteg explained everything. But I reckon if you email your CO, he's gonna have to get back to you with an update within 2 weeks as its part of his job. Wonder how many April applicants are still waiting for their grants. Its been 3 months and 9 days since I lodged my application... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He applied for 189 in October 2014 and got granted yesterday after the external checks. Oh my! 9 months! That's insane considering that most people load all required documents upfront and IMMI only need police clearance from countries in which one stayed for more than 1 year. Just think about having to wait that long without knowing the result. Hope that doesnt happen to any of us...... I'm starting to wonder how ASIO runs their external checks. Do they just run your name against some sort of database or do they actually require confirmation from security agencies of a particular country?

God knows what they do... but 9 months is too long a time for anyone to wait. Its not yet 3 months for me and I'm getting more frustrated as every day pass. I don't have a contact from CO to drop an email for him/her to respond in two weeks. When I called-up all they said is it is under process and nothing more than that. I wonder what really is happening. CaptainC - Did you get thru them? If so, what did they say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
