It means that 75% of applications are processed in less than 11 months - in other words, the majority of applications are processed in less than 11 months. I do not deny that it is long and a painful wait, but saying that the processing time is between 11 and 16 months is misleading. No.... for DE its changed to 11-16 months on our immi log in/application. So i read that as 75% are done within 11-16 months ... It has increased so much this month...its unreal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as I said before, I suspect it's due to the increase of applications started in April/May 2017 when a lot of people rushed in sending their applications. I myself have rushed and decided to apply through DE because I wasn't sure the TRT wasn't going to be an option for me anymore. If the number of DE has increased substantially in april, I kind of understand that the processing times varied (and could vary even more in the upcoming months). That said, I still hope I won't have such a long wait ahead of me, but I've been waiting for just 4 months, I can't understand the frustration of who applied maybe in 2016 or early 2017..

Every time I get to the 70% mark it goes up by at least a month! 30% increase is nuts. How hard is it to manage the pipeline and be more accurate?!?

I don't buy that at all. There are basic maths involved here with margins of error and correction predictions attached that would go into the formulation of the processing times. They (and we) are well aware of the influx of applications so Im not sure why these times are so susceptible to change. They should have been factored in better. It lacks logic.

W4V Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 i guess i should stop following immi account for a while, atleast i could be in peace of mind and enjoy the life instead in constant pressure .. bollocks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilo Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I have written one letter to the Department to stop working on all the files. We want the Labor Government to work on the files. Because this Bull-Dutton government is not capable to handle jobs. So guys if you see next month, the estimated processing time is 15 to 18 months. Dont worry.

Does any one knows the quickest way to get AFP? my friend says i can do it through broker or agencies by paying some extra coins, but he doesn't have much info. anyone knows ? THANKS guys Immi has sent you the link of AFP in the checklist they sent. just use that link. It's the better way to do it and it only take 7 days normally to be mailed to you.

sbrowne9 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 that increase is huge, especially for DE...they should offer a refund of the fees if you applied and the waiting time increases by more than 20-30%. We all knew that the time could increase/decrease, but technically they could increase it to 4-5 years, and we wouldnt have any options other than to wait or leave empty handed. The increase is making me reconsider how much longer we stay here as second class citizens paying a first-class fare; NZ or Canada are looking more and more attractive.

Kashif.Iqbal Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Today's update. A bad news. Why they increasing time day by day? They don't have enough staff members to handle applications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have enough staff members to handle applications? Yes, they cut off 300 staff few months ago. The thing is if all applications are met the timeline then we all fine. But we don't know where we are as no specific rules. I still hope that this is a default timeline that posted for all recent 186 applications and not apply to the backlogs. Cheer up everyone, nothing we can do rather than be patient and wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suusz Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 This waiting time means nothing except for how disorganised they are. The changes every month are so big for DE .. we went from 10-15 to 9-12 to 11-16???? So all we know is what we already knew: we can get our PR tomorrow as well as 12 months from now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to go back to the UK for my brothers wedding, my best friends wedding, my 30th birthday plus both the hen parties in May next year... This means i will have a 4 month break from Oz (and after 5 years away from home at that point it will be a welcomed holiday which i am very very much looking forward too) ....anyway, i was hoping my PR would have come through by then- considering i would have been waiting for 2 years at that point but now i'm concerned.
