I did originally think another three years for my June 2017 application but that’s based on 6000 as you suggested. I do think it’s likely to be longer as they’re not meeting the numbers they could give out. Think it’s been around 5600 recently. Could it be that the 5600 is the number of visas granted rather than the number of applications processed. Just trying to be optimistic for you!

Just trying to be optimistic for you! Yes it’s the number granted so I guess that maybe there are some refusals/dropouts etc to factor in as well. Thank you for being optimistic for me - it does seem to be harder to be optimistic the longer you wait !! I’m just trying to get on with my normal life and try not to obsess with it ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieRoo Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 3 hours ago, Biggsy said: Just updated this report so all the poor soles waiting in the queue can see where they stand. The criteria assumes everyone with an application up to and including April 2016 has had a request for further docs. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to see progress for all these 143 visas, but I’m starting to become a little paranoid now. Are there any other 173ers with Jan, Feb or March 2016 lodgement dates and are also still waiting to hear from immi? Have I missed the email? Have they lost my application? Too many negative thoughts… I need more wine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juniper Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Thank you for doing this! We applied 31st October 2016. Any glimmer of information about progress/or otherwise is very welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many negative thoughts… I need more wine! Hi SusieRoo This a snapshot of some of the 173 applications separated out from the 143/173 combined report I posted. Seems strange that youv'e not heard anything yet. But I suppose you would only hear of other 173ers if they were English speaking and on this forum. Been a bit quiet for 143's too lately. Also I've noticed in the past with 143's that some are processed weeks out of application date sequence. More wine is good! 173 Applications 2016 Month Cumulative.

I appreciate how much time you’ve been putting into preparing all of the pervious lists. It’s a pity we didn’t have data like this a few years ago, as it would have saved a lot of disappointment. It’s much better to have a realistic timeframe for the CPV process and it’s a disgrace that immi doesn’t disclose the full extent of the queue length to new applicants.

I extracted the data and designed the report template a while back. Now I just have to tick a box or two, enter a couple of dates and the result pops up on the screen within seconds. As you say it's a shame immi don't publish the queue data, they could easily do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean yes - My parents have not been asked to supply this form in request for furtjer details . I initially thought they would have to; but maybe immigration already have enough information for them. Who knows maybe they will say ....OH! please also send us form 80 later !!! We are 3 siblings (1 citizen OZ, 1 PR OZ in UK atm, 1 PR NZ) and my parents spend time between OZ, NZ, UK and our country of origin (very limited in last 5 years). I already have all 3 x Police checks .... just waiting to get my Mom's NZ conviction check and Mom & Dad's Health check done; then we are done. Hoping to send all docs by 16 March 2020 and if all goes smoothly should have PR by mid April ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want them to be prepared. - Blood Pressure ? - Urine test ? - Chest X-ray ? - General medical examination ? what are they looking for?

LBee Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I agree it’s strange that @MELBNGSM parents were not asked to complete Form 80. My husband and I had to complete this form - we have three children, all in Australia- two are citizens and one is PR (who is married to an Australian). Will be interested to see if you receive you PR by your estimate of mid-April. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medical checks , blood pressure , hiv blood test , chest X-ray , urine , weight , height , ears , medical history , medication , stomach examination , leg & feet examination , reflexes , women breast check , eye test .

The criteria assumes everyone with an application up to and including April 2016 has had a request for further docs. The original source of this data (link in the report) was from a freedom of information request someone submitted. It only covers applications up to the end of April 2019. If anyone can find a more recent similar document at any point please let me know. I will be more than happy to include that data and continue to post updates here after my own visa has been granted. Based on a quota of around 6000 visas per year you can foecast approximately when you might be contacted for further docs. Providing of course the quota doesn't change and processing doesn't pause for any reason! CPV Lodged Date Report as of 06 March 2020.pdf This is so good, thank you! Can you please clarify if the cumulative number is the number of applications in queue or the number of applicants (primary+secondary)?
