Guest Gollywobbler Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Hi Chris Unfortunately the only way to monitor progress on paper-based 176 applications generally is by watching other people's reported timelines on the various forums. The only official way to get information is to e-mail the following address: aspc.processing@immi.gov.au Send a completely blank e-mail: no heading, no body-text because nobody will read it. The sent e-mail will generate an auto reply, usually within about an hour or two. In theory they update the information in the e-mail on Tuesdays, so you keep sending off for a new one every Tuesday or Wednesday. In practice, the e-mail seems to describe Tail End Charlie: the applicant from the high-risk country whose visa is taking longer than anyone else's to wend its way through the system. Since Tail End Charlie is also e-mailing the ASPC every Tuesday no doubt, I guess their caution is understandable..... Best wishes Gill
Guest jen25 Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Hi, we are paper based, sent off May 2008. You can send them a email asking for process and send you times. You are meant to be contacted within 5 working days. When did you send yours? What visa number? we are general skilled, it looks like the average waiting time to get a case officer is six months. But some take longer and some are quicker. But paper based are slower than online. Good luck! Jen
