Guest JennyReid Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 maybe I'm wrong, but at the moment they seem to be able to process applications on a quicker rate than the incoming rate: nearly all categories are processed rather quickly, and on top of that they did two months of cat4 in two weeks. So there is some overcapacity, right? That could mean that by the time they cleared the cat4 backlog, that overcapacity can be used for cat5ers? whilst DIAC proccesing time for OFFSHORE 175 has jumped around 84 days, has everyone noticed they just updated 5 days for onshore 885/886 cat 4 from 26th to 30th ?. I noticed this after just speaking with a DIAC staff over the phone, he said there are around 3500 onshore applications lodged in June 2011 ONLY !! :shocked: as onshore people tried to beat the new point test coming into effect on 1st of July 2011. so In my opinion, This is thus not like DIAC has been able to process appications much much quicker than before ( dont be fooled :cry:) but it happes simply DIAC is just moving most of their human resources to focus on the offshore applicants at the moment. As to CAT 5...what we can do is just fingers and toes crossed as DIAC has proved us to be very sneaky..:frown: :cry: if they just move 5 days every 2 weeks I don't think they will start processing cat 5 this financial year! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we have clear idea of those two above, we wait. Any and all calculation and analysis of 'how fast it is processing now' are meaningless really.

virtual_bajwa Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Well, you guys need to understand that they are very fast in processing of category 4 applications which were launched after January 2011, They are allocating the case officers to these applications within one or two months of their applications date. In some cases applicants got the decision within 3 to 4 months of their application. SO I think there are very less number of application in after January , February 2011. So I would expect to start category 5 in coming few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluecatcollectables Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hey VB, Love you're new found positive attitude :hug: I too believe they will start processing Cat 5 soon. So my mindset has now totally taken a different direction. Not 'when, when,...' but 'what if then, and then'. Puts a whole new different perspecitve on the matter. Good Luck to us all!

virtual_bajwa Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Well next update of processing timeline will be on Friday.. So I am very anxious to know how much they move on category 4. Category group 5 depends upon the movement of category 4 as this is the only group which is left with some backlog... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JennyReid Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Oh..well thought to put the info on this thread to keep both our feet on the ground ..:embarrassed: Anyway I guess you guys all are sort of right, I just think what we all should do at the moment is just wait, see and stay positive!!! Until…, as VB said above, 23rd of this month when we all anxiously are seeing the next update!. I just do REALLY hope what DIAC chap informed me on the insane number of the onshore (and possibly offshore too) applications PR coming in in June 2011 that could possibly bring the processing time of cat 4 OVERALL moving back at a fat snail’s pace again is WRONG… :yes::yes::yes: We’ll see we’ll see :jiggy::jiggy: VB is right there that what we should be really worried is just the cat 4 backlog (BOTH offshore and onshore)..Nothing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
