pipmcrae Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Hi all I am using an migrant agent but is it possible that I can track the process of my visa application or will the migrant agent have their own log in details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both you and the agent would then be able to see the application. Fair warning though it is dull as ditch water, and you'll probably find the agent tells you of status updates long before you find them yourself...

You should also be aware that most agents have a clause in their contract that specifically prohibits this. Some applications cannot be imported in any case.

Notwithstanding, I can't really see the benefit in being able to watch "paint dry" when you are already paying someone to do it for you anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit harsh looks like I will have to wait. SA state there processing time for the 491 visa is 10 weeks. Is that for an invite?

wrussell Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Clause 2.8 from the (laughable) Code of Conduct: A registered migration agent must: (c) keep the client fully informed in writing of the progress of each case or application that the agent undertakes for the client; … This is no mean feat, since the minister would not tell you the time of day if s/he owned a clock factory.
