New Category 5's - Where are you now?

[ChristineChew]

Looks like grant coming anytime now, king11.

[rahulpatel1969]

As of today they have stopped processing of 489 visas. Seems they have reached the quota for the same. Dont get your hopes up the other categories are being utilized. We dont have any hope of being processed this year.

2 years of backlog for FS approx. in Offshore and 1 year of backlog for onshore - 90% of this gonna be cleared by December 2K14 that I just confirmed few hours back.

is that includes 886fs?

[koopmaster]

Seems about right, just because they used up one quota doesn't mean they will stop, they have over 200 000 visa spots to fill.

Not specifically saying about people who are waiting for N number of years,

2 years of backlog for FS means that if you see the table for offshore it says roughly processed until Jan 2008 and for onshore until mid or end 2009. Every subclass includes this be it onshore or offshore.

Thanks Gagan. Do you know when they will start processing 176 cases? I mean which month?

[gwheng]

LUCKy YOU that YOU CAN CHECK THE PROCESS ONLINE. I'VE APPLIED paper base.

Hi All,

 

I am stuck in very bad situation here. I applied 487 FS in May 2010 and currently on Bridging visa A. Hence, my wife can't join me here. I am thinking of applying her student visa but since she is post graduate so, will be able to join a degree course only. Huge sum of money involved.....Do you think this is a better option instead of me waiting for 487 granted......

If Gagan's prediction is true, my case will be decided this year.....Really double minded at this stage.....

Is there anyone with similar scenario????Any suggestions guys.

Your response will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

hi Gagan

 

Appreciate for sharing your information.

up to this point I'm bit sceptical about what Immi said, there is just no a definitive answer from them

Decided to help kimmo88 update the 175 list as there have been quite a few changes since the last update. Do check that your entry is correct.

Though I am not a 175, but if you make the grant date in bold, it will be easier to see at a glance about the progress, Eg (Granted Dec 2013)

This is just a suggestion, but good work!

[jvkster]

Done and yes it looks better now:D

G'day Fellas, Hope everyones been hanging there allright ! Fellas i need to understand something and little help will be greatly appreciated.

Look i applied for 885 in 2009 ( of course in Priority 5 ) got my CO in NOV 2012, Currently on ROUTINE PROCESSING CHECKS. Recently got married, added wife on my file (as Non-migrating spouse ). Yesterday CO asked for MY Medical Check, Wife's Medical check and PCC. Should i consider this as a good news ? Is my ROUTINE CHECK has been cleared?

Please put some light guys.

Thanks.

Regards, Abel.

As your spouse is not migrating member,they still need medical and PCC for her considering He/She may applied for spouse visa after you granted visa.It happen to my case as well.Its good in other term, you can use same PCC and medical for spouse visa application.Wish you quick grant.
