Djwbru 11 Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) I have a real addiction to !! Im watching it like a hawk and its made me feel really deflated! Processing seemed to be really steaming along nicely, but its really slowed the last couple of weeks and seems to have halted at visas submitted a week before ours. Am I the only sad addict out there?? And is that a normal trend to stop and start with the processing? Edited December 6, 2018 by MaggieMay24 Removing reference to external site.

SoniaG 21 Posted October 20, 2018 Haha i thought i was the only one. I have submitted for the 189 visa in July 2018 and am seeing few July applicants getting grants and CO contacts. What visa have you applied for? Yes, i have to agree about the process being slow for the past couple of weeks. Its just making me more anxious and nervous. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calNgary 9,176 Posted October 20, 2018 There was o back when we applied , well at least i don't think there was and in a way i'm glad as i think it would have finished me off,lol, just plain old waiting for an email drove me insane,,lol Cal x 1 If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place... If you get a chance,take it, If it changes your life,let it. Nobody said it would be easy they just said it would be worth it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've processed some up until 23rd June but just seem to have stopped at that point. Feels so close, it's so hard not to keep checking!! Hope things pick up again soon. Good luck!!

I found that after the obsession of checking for the visa grant, there are many more obsessions to take its place, the Seek app being one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
