Guest akerai Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Offshore cat 5 family sponsored are treated like dogs wait wait wait then july new processing categories as they tricked us last year by putting from 4 to 5. It is unfair that when we applied we werent informed it might take half a decade to process the files. New financial year new tricks by them to make me and my family suffer.

mau Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hello Guys , got CO today . Vb 885 , cook , work exp , paper application applied on sep 17th 2009.

mau Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Internal and external checks are normally for security purpose.Other then that they also investigate about your educational institute and what you have been doing in australia.It takes more time for applicants from high risk countries. hi kk just want to know how comes that those who applied in sept 2009 already have co and you are in aug 2009 you dont have anyone better call immi asked the reason cheers mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mau Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 the process for 2008 was so quick but for 2009 processing is taking ages n ages someone can explained me ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king khan Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 hi kk just want to know how comes that those who applied in sept 2009 already have co and you are in aug 2009 you dont have anyone better call immi asked the reason cheers mate I really dont understand how system works in immigration department.I had a chat with them almost 3 weeks ago and they said its not possible fr them to process an applicant from december 2009 when they have someone waiting from march 2009.They have to follow minister guidelines ..Again i dont know whats going on ,,i reckon the best way is to follow allocation date update thats the best way to get an idea about processing.

king khan Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 the process for 2008 was so quick but for 2009 processing is taking ages n ages someone can explained me ? They had plenty of places at that time when they started processing 2008 applicants.Now they have approached at the ened of financial year thats why process is bit slow.It will be quicker again when we will jump into new financial year soon.

Bluecatcollectables Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Not long now till 1st July! Wonder what surprises are in store for 475 Family sponsored off-shores?! I honestly think that they should convert the 'temporary' 475 visas to 'permanent residency' ones, as nearly 4 years of waiting is a very, very long time. Things change and people get older. House prices have since risen astronomically and the exchange rate has deteriorated considerably. At least if you have PR, you have 5 years to move after visa validation. With 475 you need to up-sticks pretty much when you get it, as the visa is only valid for 3 years, and out of that you have to live 2 years in your designated Oz area and work at least 1 year full-time. So no chance of waiting for a better exchange rate or house prices coming down a bit. DIAC have really and truly made a mess of my life. When I applied in Dec 2008 I could have moved some 6-12 months later, as was originally advised by them. I would have been able to live near my sister in a nice house then and would have commenced employment. As it is now, I will end up in a tent in my sister's back garden and being 46 might not be so appealing to prospective employers. Everything has gone against me here and I am very angry at DIAC and the Australian Government! Giving everyone a 'fair go' has just become a by-word for 'taking the p....'. I am venting my anger, as they are playing with people's lives here. At the very least they should give 475 visas's the option of applying for PR, without having to pay for it, now, whilst still waiting in this endless queue.

Jackie1012 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Have you got your partners name on the application as well? or is it just your individual application That was the 1st mistake that we didn't apply as couple. its individual application mine was 885 which i am waiting for and partner got 485 last year feb so this aug 485 will run out.

I reckon you should be eligible to add his name into your PR File..I am not sure whether you can do it while he is on 485..Better ring Immi and tell them your scenario.They can give you the best advice even better then Immigration consultants.
