Parkesy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 What are everyones thoughts on having a clean up of the spreadsheet? I see a few people including myself have updated their entry to say that they are still waiting. Think thats a pretty good idea. I imagine there is a good portion of people who have received their visa and then left the forum. Might bring a bit of a hope having a spring clean! Perhaps after a month of being asked if they are still waiting they can be given a different colour or moved to the bottom? Just a thought anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millski88 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'm not sure if there's any use even speculating on the system/strategy in place here, but i can't help but ponder. Perhaps there had been a few cases submitted back in April 2016 which are now proving very difficult to either grant or refuse, and so newer cases are cherry picked/favoured over the ones in between in order to bring averages down for the sake of audits? If the spreadsheet is up to date it seems like a pretty illogical pattern of activity! or perhaps it's simply not up to date? I wonder how many are actually in progress and just not updated on there.

Its looking like I need to move to a new employer and transfer my 457 visa next month so its been a pointless wait regardless. No PR for me because of DHA! Have to try and get a partner visa in 2 years with the mrs. What a nightmare. Paid 140k in tax since i arrived as well. Go figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
