How long to process 175?

[Boesman]

THere are so many posts and different answers, but if one submit a 175 e-visa say on 1 January 2011, how long can it be before you actually get that visa, medicals and police checks all included? Just an estimate would be fine as I have heard from 2-5years! :arghh:

Are there any chances that they will improve their processing times in the future or is it just gonna get worse?

I can only provide this link to DIAC website. It gives estimated processing times but I guess each case is different.

Hi and thanks! I hope they stick to their own rules and that it will not be longer than 24months! Of course, they can swop and change as they like to suit them.

It highly depends on where you are applying from

If you are applying from a Low risk country like UK, and if you are post July 2010 applicant it may take 18 to 24 months but if you are applying from a HR country like Pakistan or IRAN then might take pretty more maybe around 30 months , however DIAC has proved unreliable regarding time lines and its roles,
