EMADELDIN Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Hi all, Do you think that visas issuance will speed up again in July when they have the new visas quota to give out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rishi@18 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Hope so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3together Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 We all are desperate to go. And I think we do bring assets and skills with us, which will help the Australian economy. Still wondering, why immigration is not more service orientated and keeps us informed about processing status etc. The investors are only small number of total immigrants, but I assume we bring a good benefit for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did and they told me, that immi is processing now visa from 08.2018. Which I think, is not correct, as processing Jays application was about 2 month ago and she applied in 09.2018. Immi is not responding to questions like this, so we just need to wait, and wait and wait. Due to Corona, they are not granting any visa, so I suppose in 2019/2020 the quota was not reached. Personally I think it is all delayed by Corona and travel restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rishi@18 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 As per my information, immigration has stopped working on GSM because federal government didn’t allocate them their quotas state wise for new financial year , Next meeting is on 23rd July . So wait wait wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Asif. The quotas for 2020-21 should have no impact on visas already lodged. For what it's worth my gut feel is that when States and territories are allocated places for 20-21 and subsequently re-open their respective programs for EOI's, they will close very quickly as there will be a backlog ready to go. I have seen this happen before where programs reopen only to be closed within hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange, if you calculate the data of Jay, who lodged in 20/09/2018 and got a case officer in 27/04/2020. Lodged 7 weeks before me, but got case officer already 13 weeks ago.

oz.soup4 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Hi 3together, I think we're in the same boat. The waiting process is killing me! I lodged my application on 30/11/2018, did a medical exam and submitted form 80 around 1 year ago and since then have not heard anything from the Victoria gov yet. Are there any chances you know how long it takes from the application lodgement to the request of fund transfer (AUD $1.5M)? My lawyer said at around 18 months but i'm not too sure if it's correct. I hope they can get our application processed anytime soon! Keep us updated! Regards, Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 There is no processing time and you medical as expired then maybe there will ask you to do the medical and police again we have to do it again. we’re you living at the moment I’m from London we still waiting as well.

oz.soup4 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Hi Jay, We are from Spain. Thank you for your reminder, but we did our medical exams and PCC in Oct last year so it should be fine for now. Hopefully we will receive a response before then. Hmm about the processing time, the immi account showed the processing time for our case is 20-22 months. I'm not sure if it's still reliable given the current circumstance. When did you lodge yours?

Jay. Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 In October your medical and police check will expire if you have before then it’s good , I think it’s because of the volume of application plus COVID-19 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the waiting time is killing us as well. We are ready to go. Our application stated as well 20-22 month. So you applied 22 days after us. Our agent said, it would go faster, but I suppose it takes longer these days. The main problem is, that Australia is not opening their boarders, so even when they process our application, they will not grant a visa until there is a date when Australia is opening the boarders for non Australians. So far, I read, they first wanted to allowed NZ travelles again, later international students and long-term visa holders. Which might then be us. For tourist, they said, they will not open then borders before 2021. Medical is valid usually 1 year, but could be prolonged by case officer by 6 month. We will have to do medical again when they start processing our application. PPC is valid only 12 month, after you have to renew it. I am sick of waiting. ... We want to start our life in Australia asap. Were are you planning to move to? Melbourne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lawyer said at around 18 months but i'm not too sure if it's correct. I think you cannot predict anything here. They do not tell you the time it takes. As I know, we are processed in the order of application dates. And it should be 20-22 month. But it is, for sure, delayed. We are already waiting 21 month. Even when our migration agents asks for an update, they do not tell him. Very bad for us investors, as we have to get the money ready to do the investment. They will give us a month to do the investment, but we do not know when we need the cash to do so. Additonally Corona is delaying everything due to the travel restrictions. I dought that they will open up boarders in 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
