Not sure but lately I think it's been more politics than anything else . Good for the Liberals to appear to keep immigration down . It gets votes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merryweather Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 It's probably a more realistic timeframe for those applying now? At least they'll know. Hopefully . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaH27 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I don’t think it’s that. 2015 applicants were told 18-24 months and they’ve stretched to over 3 years! I think it’s more simple maths. Divide the number waiting by the ceiling figure - that gives you a more realistic number although that does stretch to 6 years at present. Maybe it’s the 2015-2016 waitlist figure divided by the ceiling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter phoned Centrelink to see how her AoS for us was going and was told there is an 18 week delay from lodgement to when it's processed, and Immigration dept are aware of this ... although immigration dept told us a few weeks ago there was a 12 week delay...... Seems they are making it up as they go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they are making it up as they go. So, as we have now to resubmit our AoS application after 1st July it looks like we won't have that approved until the end of November. That'll mean we will probably have to re-do our police checks and medicals. More expense - but more time time to save up for it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So more possible to get confirmation of 2nd vac but wouldn't wait for it. Lol Automatic acknowledgement of receipt of emails is fine - but, in our experience, they aren't followed up by a "proper" reply. Lack of communication is so frustrating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SusieRoo Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 9 hours ago, superman2016 said: What the heck, can you believe it? Kev I wonder if this is to try and show a more realistic processing time for newer applicants. It the past they have only shown the current wait times, which was misleading for people just starting out. But I still believe the actual processing times will extend to 48 months by 2019, so maybe this is now the new norm. I posted the chart below last July but unfortunately these forecasts are now looking too optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why all the sudden they stretch the processing from 41 months to 56 months in one month. Kev It’s beyond frustrating now! So near and yet so so far away! I don’t know quite what this timeline will mean in practice and I’m getting no update on processing dates. I see that 173/864 and 884 are no longer available due to low numbers! And if you have a 114 application you could wait up to 50years! Really . We can only hope something moves on soon and we start our processing..if not for us, then for the sake of our family!

LindaH27 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Apparently they are now processing 5 May 2015. Given that applications from UK parents are a lot lower than from other countries and that immi appear to be cutting back on numbers granted it would appear that it’s going to take a very long time for UK parents to get the visa. I’m just hoping they bring in the temporary 5 year visa soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
