I also contacted DIAC by email on July 23rd and got a reply YESTERDAY! It simply said, that their notes on our file, note that we received a reply to the question on Aug 6th by telephone (true - we rang them BECAUSE we hadn't had an email reply!)

 

So their own expected turnaround time of responding to emails in 5 working days is way out of whack now - probably due to unprecedented queries lol

 

Same here, received an answer today to a PLE sent on 25th July - no real info - just confirming that we are in cat 3 and a load of links to various DIAC sites about priorities, health checks etc, all the stuff that most of us have had ample time to read since lodging!

Good luck everyone who is STILL waiting I see some as long as April 08 this is madness I really feel for you. The news is wall to wall elections here at the moment and I wonder if this is the reason for even more delays. Hopefully when the Government be it a new one or the old one next week is sorted out you will all get some much needed and much wanted news xxx:wubclub:

Thanks :)

 

Wonder how long is the wait, after requesting Medicals and PCC, Medicals already done, PCC should be submitted very soon too.....

 

Cheers

I was thinking the same thing Jodie... yes it is great to see people who have been waiting and waiting for so long to get their CO's. But to be honest, I really was expecting to see things moving quicker. It would seem that most of the old CSL's have been granted and since they stopped taking applications in May until July then this would make sense. I doubt that there are too many Cat 1 applications....So.... yeah.... what are they doing lol.

 

I wonder how many people are working at DIAC actually processing our applications. They boast they are granting how many hundreds of visa's a day, but to WHO! I know not all applicants will come on PIO but I would have expected SOME PIO 'ers to be getting grants and I can't remember when I last saw a CAT 3 applicant getting a grant (bar one last week!)

i too find it's going quite slow. but when i think from a different way i dont want CO before the migration policies on priotity are stable after the new govt comes in. what if i am again unallocated co after doing medicals and pcc once again???

so my thinking is i should get co only after things are stable

Hi Guys

 

Connie and I have been conferring and thought it would be good to have a bit of a summary of all these time lines she has been collating in this thread. It also means we can see at a quick glance the general state of play for all of us in CAT 3. (The idea for doing this, this way comes from Taz2008 and Vickymels very useful Cat 5 thread which to all intents and purposes is null and void because of the July 14th changes..) I have copied all the data from page 1 of this thread and put it into a spreadsheet. Hopefully I have transcribed everyone's details correctly, but if I have made any errors, please drop me a PM and I will amend. This also includes me denoting High Risk ® and Low Risk © applicants and have used information Connie very kindly went searching the net for, for me...if I have got the risk status of your country wrong, please also PM to amend.

 

FINALLY... Anyone new wanting to add their timeline, can you use this little template that now includes high risk or low risk country id with ® denoting HIGH and © denoting LOW.

Hello JK2510

 

Yes as far as I know Category 1s are processed somewhere else.

This is what our agent emailed us.

 

As ENS/RSMS applications are not processed by ASPC and there are currently NO SMP's in place I believe that your application is currently top priority at ASPC.

 

Then why are they going so slow!!!:arghh:

 

Regards

Connie

Hi,

 

 

There is no real reason then! Were desperate to get some news and after the last lot of processing changes I thought things would tick along fairly fast like with the SS grants pre sept 23rd.
