joeyje Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If this helps, I applied for family sponsored visa (176) 10.07.10 - I am in cat 3. I was allocated a case officer on 13.05.11 - it was alot quicker than I anticipated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artetaneville Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hi that's quite reassuring! Let's just hope ours is a similar sort of waiting time. It beats the 18-24mths stated! Can I ask what state r you planning on moving to and what yard you r going out with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyje Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I'm heading to NSW - sorry, don't understand what you mean about the 'yard' bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suandianbrown Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 hi It all depends which category you are in If your occupation is on a SMP then you will be allocated a CO quite soon if your occupation is on the new SOL, I think the current processing is about 9mths to a year if your category 4 goodness knows!!!! as they wont process them until all cat2 & cat3 are processed. Hope this has helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JandLeen Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Hi! We have applied for skilled/family sponsor visa cat 3. Not sure how long its is going to take, but received the march email saying we would get a case officer in 3 months. Did u receive the same email?
