briggs Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi i checked my online status page today for the 475 visa. Now, it says 'application being processed further' .

Can somebody tells me what this means please? Do i have something to worry about? Hiya, Nothing to worry about, but I would say that this means that you have a Case Officer or someone updating your application as the exact same thing happened to us last week: Application Status 5/09/08 Application Received - processing commenced 5/09/08 Application fee received 13/5/09 Application being processed further.... 14/5/09 - I had notification from our Agent that we were assigned to a Case Officer..... So keep checking your emails every 5 mins he he! Fingers crossed and keep us informed Briggs! Jacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mel.R Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Now 51 days since they received my paperwork and still nothing.................Given up caring now Damo If you are up to 51 days, then it is only another 7 and you are up to the 8 weeks that they state. Maybe if you have not heard by that time, it might be an idea to give them a call - or ask your agent to if you have one. It could be a simple clerical error - you never know. I know that won't make you feel any better. Good luck Mx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tigers08 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi i checked my online status page today for the 475 visa. Now, it says 'application being processed further' . yer think u might as well wait for ur co to ask u to go get them, we all ready had ours finalised in feb, so when we got our co last week our visa was granted 2 days later, Can somebody tells me what this means please? Do i have something to worry about? yer u might as well wait for the co now, processing further means u have co. ours changed to processing further on 13th may, and on 15th may we had our visa, but as we had our meds all ready finalised and done in feb , it really speeded it up.

Guest The "legdes" Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Guys, Just an observation - from Briggsy it looks like DIAC can definately recieve and authorise a SA SS within 6 days as thats how long it took from their SS offer to CO - of course they might be giving different priorities to 475 s ???

Guest kelly&gazpj Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hey guys!!! Should i go for my medicals? or wait for the CO to tell me? I am confused! us 2!!!! just paid £172.50 to our agency to make the changes to our visa now that we have got SA SS (more money!!) I suppose now we wait for instruction from them. OH Trade went off CSL so changed from a 175 to a 176 visa Submitted online app for SA SS 28/03/09 Other supporting Docs received 28/04/09 SS approved 20/05/09 DIAC VISA REF SUBMITTED 21/05/09 and now we wait......:SLEEP: (altough there are some positive timescales going on on here:v_SPIN:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest damo Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I really don't get this. Bloody good luck to all who have had their SS granted but how is it that many have applied much later than me and I'm still waiting to hear. Seems to me the SA gov are every bit as incompetent as our own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
