ByronSmith Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 True that! Was starting to panic ever so slightly. Your news didn't help this morning either Do we think that's a bit of glorified headlining or is that a legit source of news? Enjoy Caterinoz. Thanks for updating the spreadsheet.

aardvark2013 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi Everyone - first post after signing up 18 month ago after moving to Australia (sorry!) - it's been so helpful seeing others share their dates for ENS 186 PR application so I though we'd do the same. Nomination went in at the start of August - it was approved on 26th October, and our PR application went in on 28th October. We were invited to do the medicals in December and are still waiting for an outcome ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomasowen Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi all, got my visa today! Nomination and application lodged together through a ma on the 18th of Sept. Took 130 days, feeling very happy today :-) Congrats Carterinoz, all the best for the future. Good to see that there were a couple of visa's granted yesterday after what seemed to be a bit of a lull. Also good to see that they are getting into the 3/4 week of September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swintonfan Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Congratulations CaterinOZ. We applied for ours on the 22nd September, using a MA. I emailed them this morning and they as usual gave me no information at all. I wonder why they get upset when you ask for information. After all we did pay them for this service.....So frustrating We are using Sydney I believe for processing center Edited January 29, 2015 by swintonfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swintonfan Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Congratulations Gem... I just wish there was some kind of thinking about dates etc. Seems some people have been waiting longer than others and it is frustrating when you do not know why...

It seems you have been processed by the small team working on the new system. It also means this team is not only processing applications lodged after 22nd Nov when the new system was implemented but also picking random applications from before that. Enjoy your time in Australia, Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your time in Australia, Cheers The new system is for applications after the 22nd Nov, Gem lodged on the 16th Oct. FWIW, I spoke with my MA and also noted that the ICSE message we all saw is in fact prioritising applications prior to Nov 22nd. So the new system will be a slower queue even though they are processing some before the older applications. I think were the lucky ones the more I think about is CSI :-) Edited January 29, 2015 by ByronSmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumon123 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hi byronsmith, as you mentioned new system after 22nd November!!!!what is this about?i lodged my nom and application on 15th October.so am I affected with the new system or not? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, any applications submitted on or after the 22nd November will be processed using the ICSE (Integrated Client Services Environment) whereas, previously they were using the GVP (General Visa Portal). I can't say for certain what impact that will have on processing speeds, however, it is known that some applications after the 22nd November will be processed before older applications. We believe this is because of internal training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumon123 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 That means those we applied earlier then it will be more then 6month of normal processing time!!! It is not fair!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
