Guest grant6607 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hi Everyone, I am a user of this site and the timeline spreadsheets as I am a 175 CSL applicant. I saw a need for a site that could be dedicated to that so went ahead and whipped one up. It is much like beupdate but without all the ads and hopefully a bit more user friendly. I just got it online yesterday so it is sure to have a few bugs out of the gate but i'll get them sorted as we find them. I managed to write a script that imported the 175 and 176 visa's from the spreadsheet so everyone will be on there. None are password protected right now but if you update them you can add your own password. Anyway, hopefully you all find it useful as it is only worthwhile if everyone uses it and updates it. Have a look, i'd love to hear your feedback! aussietimeline.com | Australian Visa Application Timeline Tracker -- Grant BTW. I have tried to reach out to Drew a few times regarding the spreadsheets but haven't heard back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gollywobbler Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hi Grant Thanks very much for your new timeline monitor. :hug: I have closed Drew's thread until you, he and Samfire have had a chance to discuss matters between you. Meanwhile, would it be complicated to transfer the data for the 475 visa applications across to your new monitor, please? If it can be done without sweat, I am sure that all the applicants for the sc 475 visas would be very grateful, as would I. :notworthy: I will sit tight and await your verdict about this. I haven't a clue about computers, cyberspace etc so I have no idea whether it would be a pain to add the 475s or not. Many thanks Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grant6607 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Wow, you have to love it when things are actually easier than expected, that never happens! The 475 format was very similar to the 176 so I was able to reuse that script and all 475's have now been imported. BTW, I should note that in all 3 spreadsheets I did not import any rows that did not have a valid application date. Without that I found that data relatively useless. Also, i just received a note from a user that other peoples data can be editied. I am aware of this issue but there was not way for me to create passwords on users behalf especially when I have no email contacts. When you edit your timeline you have to enter a password and from that point on you must verify it with subsequent updates. We'll have to rely on the honor system in the get go and I can manually fix data if anything gets incorrectly updated. -- Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest moving down under Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Thanks Grant, it looks great. I also really liked the one that Drew did, but I know he was ready to give it to someone else. Thanks to both of you for all your hard work. It's appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest threespire Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Great timeline - many thanks to you and "Golden Grahams" for the previous one - much appreciated - let's hope we start seeing lots of 175's (and all others too !!!) allocated to CO's and granted very soon,:spinny: Kirsty x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grant6607 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks for all the great feedback thus far! Keep the feedback coming, I have managed to identify and fix a couple of bugs brought to my attention by all of you I will be away on holidays until Monday so won't be able to respond until then, so don't think I have vanished @ritu - Thanks very much for pointing that out! I just posted a new version that has support for Risk. I also added a few new search refinements for "CO Only" and "Completed Only" which I think is very useful. Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Guest grant6607 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi Everyone, I am back from holidays and just made a few improvements in response to some great feedback I have received: Added a new "State Sponsored" search refinement Added ability to order results by Date Applied, Date CO, and Date Granted (for all either ascending or descending) I have also noticed some people have been entering dates that are in the future. I am pretty sure this has been an accident of not setting the year back to 2008. Nonetheless, I will work on some data validation to try and keep the time line data clean.

Guest hap Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hello folks I wld like to suggest the following to all prospective applicants/ applicants whose case is in progress and hope its useful (based on my experience): 1. Try to apply online only 2. Make sure to call the department in case you have sent an email after making an application and ensure that your documents have been passed on to the case officer (I have felt that even if documents are uploaded, some of them are never delivered to the case officer and the process keeps rolling for a while), 3. Its useful to follow up with the case officer in-between, 4. In case you are an off-shore applicant and you need to leave Australia (with your pre-grant letter), better pass on your travel details in advance and again call up the Department, else you may have to wait for long in the consulates abroad and thats irritating indeed, Cheers and Best wishes to all Regards Hap Hi Everyone, I am a user of this site and the timeline spreadsheets as I am a 175 CSL applicant.

Guest grant6607 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi Everyone, I just put up a new page on the site to aggregate data so we can spot recent trends. It is just a start but I posted numbers for the previous month activity including average days and counts. If there are any other stats you think would be useful please let me know and I'll see what I can do. :wacko: Cheers, -- Grant http://aussietimeline.com/statistics.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Impatient Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Site looks cool, any chance you can set it up so that you don't have to enter a date for visa submission if you are still at the SS stage? Had to make up a date to submit our timeline. Thanks for the effort you have put in, nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
