theri Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I am in the same boat dude - 487 fs- May 2010. Really stuck badly....Doing full time job but life is completely stuffed......Got married and can't sponser my wife unless they grant me a visa......I thinking to apply her student visa now as we may have to wait for another 5-10 years......who knows....... I hear you. I wanna get a de facto with my partner too who's currently on student visa. But that won't be possible until I get PR. Curious what's the longest time anyone's been out with Bridging Visa B? I got granted for 3 months before but it was because of a family death.

Celeste Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hi Everyone I just received the following email from my immigration agent and I am sharing with you as there is indeed hope for us all. "We are writing to provide you with an update on your current Subclass 176 visa application. We wish to advise that the Hon Senator Michaelia Cash, Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, has provided an update on General Skilled Migration visa applications lodged before the introduction of SkillSelect on 1 July 2012. We have been advised that the “on hand” caseload of General Skilled Migration visa applications lodged before 1 July 2012 has reduced from 98,096 to 26,181 as at July 2014. This is a reduction of 73% of Priority Group 5 applications. Since July 2014, the number of applications still in the pipeline is 10,361. Please see the attached document for more details regarding the current processing priority by the Department of Immigration. As there has been a significant decrease in the number of applications still pending in the Priority Group 5, we believe that there is a likelihood that your visa application may be processed. Based on our recent experience in the processing of the Subclass 175 visa applications, we wish to advise that there are particular documents that the Department of Immigration may request when these Priority Group 5 applications are being allocated to case officers. These documents include the following: current passport evidence of paid employment for the 3-4 years before your visa application was lodged this can include tax statements, bank statements (showing payment of salary), a selection of payslips and employment references medicals police clearance certificates Please note that we do not recommend applying for the medicals and police clearance certificates at this stage. These checks will only be requested if and when the Department of Immigration decides to process these applications and your file has been allocated to a case officer to be finalised..."

koopmaster Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hard to believe as well, I have been disappointed before (loads of times) and will wait till I have a CO and then go NUTS in this forum.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 My agents (Aussie based) have always been cautious and conservative regarding claims about processing. This is the first time since priority processing was implemented they have said they think it is likely that our application will be processed and indicated that we need to make sure we are ready to accommodate any requests for further documents from the department. Also, look how the dept processed 16 000 category 5 applications between July 2014 and now! And there are only another 10 000 to go. I have hope that we will finally be processed.
