Guest crystal2005 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Did they actually mention fortnightly this time? The last update was July 18th, and before was July 1th. So. is this gonna be fortnightly? I do not think so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj27 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 o well. it won't make a difference anyway. It's slowed down, and that's disappointing with or without the update :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest crystal2005 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Still 2 more days required to get it update! How do you know still 2 more days? I thought they do not update consistently every 2 weeks anymore.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj27 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 he probably means: still 2 more days before we can start looking for updates again... which may last another week or two or three :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VXM665 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Still 2 more days required to get it update! Last update was on 18th July so the fortnightly update should be on 1st Aug which is today. However, no update yet and its now after work in Aus, so would expect tomorrow. DIAC does not maintain the exact 2 weeks. so could be around this time.

DIAC does not maintain the exact 2 weeks. so could be around this time. australian fortnight means not 14 days (2 weeks) It means 14 days without calculating any holidays.

dream208 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Professionals and Other Skilled Migrants Overview Visa options Allocation Dates for General Skilled Migration Applications On this page Priority processing Priority exempt applications Subsequent entrant applications Processing time service standards Contact us Due to the strong demand for places in the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program the department is unable to immediately allocate all GSM applications to a case officer for consideration. When an application is allocated to a case officer depends on a number of factors, including the Priority Group of the application and the visa subclass applied for. If your application has been allocated to a case officer you should have received communication from your case officer.

Guest Lori2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 how often will they update the website? In my country we call these type of questions as the "one million dollars question!" if you have the correct answer you get the money!!

cat4er Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 how often will they update the website? as required what is exactly maybe about fortnightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest haveursay1 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 That means they'll not update as they used to do it earlier. I mean we don't need to send blank emails further more but at the same time they will be providing the actual processing timelines in their department website...It doesn't mean that they had temporarily stopped further processing...Am I right frens...Eagerly waiting to hear from u all....

Guest crystal2005 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Seems no one here could answer a million dollar question, I can now speculate that the process of the GSM application has been slowing down. It is all based on the updates that has been provided so far.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
