So I just called my MA. Was pretty annoyed about the increase (yet again) in time guidelines, so asked them how long people are actually taking on average and just general info

They said reason it's increased in timing is due to how long it's taken to process people in the last month, and also to cover themselves a little as for some reasons all applications made prior to June 2017 are taking a long time, longer than predicted, whereas applications made after June 2017 are having quicker turn arounds as a generalization

Don't know if this reassures anyone or not, but here to pass on info I got

Thanks Zoe. I wonder why the pre--June 17 applications are taking so long....

I guess it could be:

1. Misjudged the scale and volume of that came in once the changes were announced

2. There are more dodgy applications submitted due to people trying it on before the visa changes

3. They are being tougher on those who have grandfathering arrangements to reduce the net migration number who have reduced restrictions compared to the people who have applied under the new conditions

 

BUT IM GUESSING!

I applied for DE originally Dec 16th 2015,. Back then the time frame was accurate and immigration would complete each month within around 6 weeks before moving on to the next and on average visas were taking up to 8 months to be processed. Unfortunately I had to withdraw my application as my sponsors business closed and that was after an 8 month wait in the processing line.

We found a new sponsorship and 1St  sept 2016 we applied all over again, paying all over again for 5 of us and starting at the beginning of the line. 

Since then the time line has changed nearly every month for the passed 21 months,  it's gone up and down up and down, it is not accurate and they no longer process each month and then move on. They selectively process application's by occupation and just leave others on hold stuck in the system. You can call but it makes no difference we have called numerous times, you can write a letter of complaint but it makes no difference we have twice now and you can request your application be prioritised, again this makes no difference we aso tried this.

Immigration can do what they want when they want and the grant is their decision. waiting for the second time and have reached the four year mark of when this all began for us and it all seems a bit desperate now but we've come this far so I guess we keep going and see was the universe has planned for us.

My advise to everyone is to agnore the time line and forget about your visa and when it comes through it comes through. Enjoy your time where you are with who your with and live for now.

Trust me, me and my little family have been living day by day for 4 years waiting for these visas and in the end you stop and realise you've missed out big time. My kids have grown up right under nose and I was so busy obsessing over the visa is forgot what was right in front of me.

This passed 6 months we have stopped obsessing about the visas and what could be if we get to Australia and focused one what is really important, our sons and living in the now.

Good luck to everyone what will be will be.

Im not sure his advice is correct. Check with a migration agent.

i emailed to MA waiting for there response. but mate can you help me out in understanding this sentence below in colored

Recent expenditure for Training Benchmark B means expenditure made in the previous financial year or the previous 12 months,

Does previous 12 month period meaning - Calendar year ( Jan to Dec) or back date from186 Application lodged or from the day my 457 visa nomination approved date?

i understand i sound silly could be the sentence is easy to understand but

i'm in a bit pressure couldn't think straight, since morning my employer revealed about shortfall in training benchmark

@KKD& @sbrowne9 I got nomination refuse on Saturday. Because my company is making a loss now... I'm thinking for Applying AAT. But honestly I'm really don't know what to do... 

anyone apply aat after 186 refusal?

Hey @KKD....I had a nomination refusal too, it literally turned my world upside down; wont post details here, but safe to say a panic attack or two later, I reapplied. My only bit of advise would be step 1. take some time to leave it settle and think about things. Emotions are running high, and any decision may have a little spite/frustration in it. Is this where you want to be etc etc. then, if you think you can handle another application, step 2. go to a personal migration agent for a consultation if you havent already, not one associated with your employer. Get all your options, not just employer sponsored. 

I won't lie, the second application is harder...you know the possibility of a refusal, and it just adds to the anxiety of the wait. Feels like I've been waiting since last April!

Either way, if I or anyone else here can help, just let us know; also keep us informed, as your misfortune might be able to aid someone else in their application. Thats why the forum is here in my opinion; support and advice
