shirishcharo Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Shirishcharo, do you have a number? Well I am in Aus so I usually call their GSM enquiry number 1300364613, but if you're outside, I don't have another number buddy, sorry. I've heard if you try calling this number from outside Aus, the call gets cut immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suraweeraneil Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Allocation table updated but only subclass 175 moved. At least they're updating it now unlike the past few months that you have to guess where they are. :err: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/estimated-allocation-times.htm According to this table, I think e lodged 175 applications another 1 year to go. After June 2010 there will not be any applicants. So, maximum another 2-3 months. So, 886 and 176 applicants can have some hope in this financial year as Gagan has mentioned very clearly that 176 and 886 applicants will get processed from April 2014.

I agree with you as I got some excel file from immi last time ( sorry, I cannot find the file now) there are very few applicants from 2010.

GAGAN4321 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Starting early next month until the end of financial year i.e. June the processing will be done very fast. Backlog will be cleared both for onshore as well offshore with 496 into consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backlog will be cleared both for onshore as well offshore with 496 into consideration. This sound like good news, I don't have any inside information but it does seem to make sense since DIBP are now on their latter half of their financial year. With only 4 months to go, new application prices are now 2x or 3x or more times what we paid so less new applications. Plus they are also now updating the Allocation Table once a month again. Well good luck to ALL those 176 applications that like me have been waiting years. Might even be hope at the end of the tunnel..........................................

rahulpatel1969 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Very frankly I would not get my hopes up based on mere speculation. Gagan4321 is an optimist who tries to keep the hopes up of us unfortunate 496/176 visa applicants. Not necessary what he says will happen.

So keep your hope alive. Don't let go. I am also a 176 and have been waiting for so long (since 2009). But I know that one day would come when I will hear the good news.
