sherin Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hi All I believe that ACT is taking more than the stipulated time to process the SS applications these days, processing time lines as updated on the SBM website are : • 176 Applications High priority: 30 June 2009 Normal priority: 7 June 2009 Low priority: 10 May 2009 • 886 Applications High priority: 30 June 2009 • 134/137 Applications Low priority: 12 May 2009 • Employer Sponsored applications for certification High priority: 25 July 2009 • Business Skills visas Normal priority: 9 July 2009 • Number of pending applications: 343 Well does this mean its going to take more time than 30 working days? I assume Normal priority applications lodged on or before 7th of June 2009 are processed as of now .:radar: Can anybody who has contacted SBM recently, share the responses from SBM ? I had applied for SS on 16/06/2009 and prior to that had got my CV verified and accepted in the quota as on 17/05/2009. and my application is well over the 30 working days. I am contemplating to contact SBM advice !!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am contemplating to contact SBM advice !!!!!!!! Hi Sherin We lodged our 176 on the 22nd May 2009. When we got the receipt back from them it said "Normal Priority". I contacted the ACT SBM via email to ask for an update and they emailed me back on Monday this week to say "your application is low priority and will take approximately 30-60 working days from the date of receipt". So 60 working days will be tomorrow. I do know they are extremely busy so we will wait until next week to see if we get an answer. FINGERS CROSSED ! I will update PIO when I hear anything else. Maybe you will hear next week? Thanks and good luck :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
