Guest Big Gorr Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Hi, I've been looking on here at various posts and replies I've had on my queries. I have noticed that many people, apart from several State Sponsored, have been undergoing the application process for their GSM 175 Visa for quite some time, usually over a year and sometimes closer to two. I applied for the on-line application, GSM 175 on 23rd Feb 2011. On 18th March I recieved an e-mail telling me that I would have a C/O within 3 months and I should get my medicals and police checks etc done. I didn't have enough points when I lodged the application in Feb, so I did the IELTS exam on 16th April and got an 8.5 overall. We got the Police Checks back a fortnight later and we have done our E Medicals last Thursday which are showing as finalised already. I have sent in all the information on the documents check list and submitted a Form 80 for both myself and my wife. It said in the e-mail that applications that are complete when the C/O first assesses them tend to be completed a good deal sooner. If the allocation time given of within 3 months is right, I should now have a C/O within about 6 weeks. Has anyone else done the on line application and had everything go through as quick as this seems to be going? I don't want to count my chickens as it were, but I am getting giddy at the prospect of getting a visa so quickly! Please advise or share your experiences. Thanks, Mick :confused:
essextoaus Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I can honestly say that it is unlikely anyone can give you even a decent estimate (though they might try)!? I waited 2 yrs and have only just got mine, but DIAC are processing applications at a very rapid pace at the mo, and so it seems people will have to wait less and less, but still projecting a finalising time for you is impossible with any accuracy. What if the changes in July affect you?
Guest Big Gorr Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Yours was one of the ones I was talking about from my last thread. Did you do your application on line? I think I'm ok with the July 2010 changes. I am in Priority Group 3 under the changes which is confirmed in the e-mail that I got from DIAC. Looks like I'll just have to sit tight and wait with fingers crossed!!! Thanks!

Very straight forward application. The vast majority of time was spent waiting for a CO. The thing is you really can't use that as a basis for how long yours will take because it's a totally different time now. They're being processed much faster now. Best of luck!
Guest VickyMel Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 What are the changes in July?? New points test expected http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/99047-new-points-test-details-released-11-november.html
