Guest chris_mac Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Migration agents have stated they are seeing a faster turn around in processing times with the paper based applications compared to the on line applications. Since MARCH this year the on line applications where relatively new and the prepared method for faster processing times, however, recentley the DIAC are now overpowered with the on line applications and are experiencing a back log and numerous system errors.. As a direct result the paper applications are now catching up with recent turn around times of only 5 months. Sounds pretty feasable to me!

Guest Bianca Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 maybe we should start a thread 'paper based applications' so we can track if it is a lot faster? We hope to submit in Jan, so would be interesting........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Sounds feasible Chris .... I did think at the time, that as more and more people did the on line version that at somepoint a long waiting list (so to speak) would develop as at the end of the day someone still has to check all the applications.

LukeM Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Makes me wonder whether ours is on paper or online. We're leaving it to our agent to sort most of it out so I guess someone must have been told, but whoever WAS told - it wasn't me! Oh dear. 20 days til our Australia holiday visit anyway! :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
