Posting links to other forums is a bit like going in to a supermarket and giving out leaflets for a competitors supermarket. I doubt if the other forums would allow you to link to the one ( feel free to have a go though). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a member of a fair few over the years (mostly non-immigration ones) and I've never yet come across one that allows links to others as a matter of course.

joeh99 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hi Guys - just an update. It will be 4 months since I lodged my 189 visa on 20th July. I know a few of us have similar timelines; however, i'd like to hear if this is the case for anyone else. It is becoming so so frustrating and anxiety is through the roof! Thanks guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonflygecko Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Ok understood. It's just extreme that's all. I've seen many people naming & linking to other sites across different forums and that's why people do it- to help others. This site is better for more in depth info and "chatting" / visa talk. The one that was mentioned was just a tracker ... Good of luck to all of you waiting everytime I'm getting a notification in clicking in to see if any of you have been successful. Hang in there once you get that magical email somehow all the stress and anxiety just vanishes and you'll never remember how difficult it was. It's 5 weeks until we fly and I'm still in disbelief that we have been given the visa. ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no sense shouldn't it be 10% in 4mths and 90% in 7?Sent from my LG-H850 using PomsinOz mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeh99 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Yes - as I say, 75% of visas are processed within 4 months. 90% of visas are processed within 7 months. Therefore, the remaining 10% that aren't processed within 7 months will take longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenBlue Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hi @pm79 congrats! Did you get a direct grant? Or any CO contact? What documents did you front load with your visa application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pm79 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hi [mention=240728]pm79[/mention] congrats! Did you get a direct grant? Or any CO contact? What documents did you front load with your visa application? Thank you@RavenBlue. It was a direct grant. No contact from CO. I didn't use any migration agent also. Had my medicals in Feb. Uploaded all documents showing evidence of my experience, applied for police check after submission. Also uploaded form 80.

RavenBlue Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Thanks @pm79 I'm about to submit my 189 application and I would like to avoid CO contact too if possible! Already have our medicals and police checks. Did you upload any bank statements? I've seen some people say they did so for proof of income, but its not on the official DIBP website. Don't know whether to just upload them to be safe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pm79 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 No i didn't. I got letters from my past employers about my posts for last 10 years. I submitted my tax returns and P60s though. Sent from my SM-A910F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenBlue Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Ah ok great - I have payslips and P60s for all of the period of employment I'm claiming for, so hopefully that will suffice. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistryh Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hi all, In case you haven't heard of it. Please click on my signature to take you to [https://myimmitracker.com/] Brilliant for seeing when people get their invites compared to when they submitted. And same for visa grants etc.... If as many people could upload their basic case details (no personal info required). Only the details you see in the signatures of folks in this forum.Then it would be awesome to keep track of the progress being made for those in your own job code etc and just in general. Currently not too many secondary teachers on there at the EOI stage so would be nice to see more of those:) Hope it is ok to post this here. Thanks H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
