Is this due to MA being proactive as it makes no sense for people waiting from 2017 or in my case March 2018 been waiting for 11 months now... I know its an tricky question but I am trying to find some sense of how and what criteria is immigration using currently as I have contacted my MA just earlier as if he doesn't contact immigration I will give them a call and send an email as well as my application will be entering 12 months in few days so I will be out of processing time soon so I will take it up on my own to get some attention on my case otherwise nothing will happen... I know your question is directed at Hex and Boo-Yaa - no one really knows, but I expect it's because they paid the SAF which was introduced in August. I'm sure there is other factors, but this seems to match up. Completely unfair in my opinion, but life isn't fair, especially Australian Visa's. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my imagination... It might be your imagination but it actually does make a lot of sense when I think about it this way... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't provide my country PCC as the MA told me to wait till March. My colleague didn't listen to them and applied all in January and got his approved on Feb 9th 2019(with in 2 months). I have got initial assessment and an email from CO then later i have uploaded requested docs on Feb 15th 2019 and it is in Further assessment state from that time. Any insight on how much time it will take now? Thanks in advance. @260syduser This is an unreal timeline - 2 months is not heard of and the first I've ever heard of. Due to 2 months being "unreal", I would revert to the timeline posted by Immigration and work off that: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-processing-times/global-visa-processing-times - Comparing someone else's timeline to your own is never a good idea, as there are so many factors at play. Expect the worst and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal opinion is similar to what someone said the other day, whereby the department has "KPI's" to achieve (within a timeline) and with the political pressure around the new elections, I feel as though there are some targets / figures they are trying to achieve (last I read in the news, there was talk of the department promising, 80% visa processing within x days). - Knowing they are nowhere near this target, I suspect these "special cases" are being done in order to get that figure (in general) brought up, so they can make a statement, saying that they have achieved their goal / close to it. Although I hope the trend stays and gets better, I don't think this will last - not until there is a new head of department. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could either accept it as it, or request an update immediately. - If it's expired for more than 3 months when a CO is assigned, then it's almost always the case that they will request a new, updated one. My question for things like this is always: - Can you afford a possible delay in your processing? If yes, then take the chance and wait for it to be 2-3 months expired. If no (as in most cases), then get a new one before expiry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my imagination... Lets hope that they process the files within two months so they can pick up another couple of 2017 files without screwing up their numbers! It is really really annoying that there is no indication how long the remaining 10% can take. I wish there was at least a deadline for them, for any file! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAJ.N Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hi Guys, Just wondering is it possible that IMMI open our case when we are overseas (Bridging visa B) or they won't touch it until we come back? Does anybody have the same experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody have the same experience? @SAJ.N This has been asked / answered a few times. Being away makes no difference to your application - there was even someone earlier (a few pages back) that got their visa granted whilst out of the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will always be a few outliers - those that are processed very quickly OR those that seem to take years. What are IMMIs exact criteria for this? Well no one really knows. We do know for sure that your Occupation and Employer are big contributing factors. For example - If you check those who are still waiting from 2017 - they will have similar types of occupations. Point to note - there is no point calling IMMI. You are still within the estimated processing times. They will just tell you to wait. I'm afraid you just need to sit tight like the rest of us.
