There are no GSM visa subclasses within these priority groups. ** Not currently allocating. A high volume of Priority Group 4 applications were received in June 2011. Whilst cases continue to be allocated per week, the limited movement of allocation dates reflect the high volume of applications received during this period. The affected visa subclasses are: Skilled – Independent (Migrant) subclass 175 Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) subclass 176 Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional) subclass 475 Allocation of Priority Group 5 applications lodged outside Australia is yet to commence.

SHandGH Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) No surprises here. Just 7 days movement in 2 weeks. DIAC are still getting through all those June applicants. But as we all know June is pretty much wrapped up with many July applicants now assigned a CO. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/estimated-allocation-times.htm https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqEBgay7xfFvdEpQS2NMbTItV1o5bTctcE4wa1pVWHc&hl=en_GB#gid=0 Edited March 16, 2012 by SHandGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wanderdownunder Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 A question oh knowledgeable ones!.. We wish to front load our medicals but when we contacted the Knightsbridge centre, London Town, they informed us that last August the rules changed so that you can only take the medicals if you have a TRN number as you need to go on the DIAC website input your TRN and then print off the medical application forms. As we are a paper application we do not have a TRN, which seems mightily unfair! Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so did you manage to get round this? Is it for example possible to phone the DIAC and obtain a TRN for a paper application? We will of course try this, but thought it would be useful to hear the opinions of others first. Many thanks.

SHandGH Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Here's some info we got from our local hospital. Thank you for your enquiry regarding an Australian visa medical. We do not require any paperwork to book your appointment however in order to attend for a migration medical you must have applied for your visa and have one of the following: ONLINE - eHealth · A Referrel letter which contains a TRN · A Form 26EH OR 160EH which contains a TRN, or · A Health Examination List which contains either a Health Request ID or a HAP ID OR MANUAL – Paper · Form26 and/or Form160 (visa subclass 457, 856 and 857) · eHealth exemption letter If you do not have any of the above as per the Australian Department of Immigration & Citizenship you are required to contact your case officer or migration agent. If you are an eHealth applicant (on-line) and have a TRN you must have your EH26/EH160 filled in on line and have your referral letter printed. If your visa medical is being carried out on paper when attending our clinic you must have the 'applicants details' of the forms you require (26/160) completed - including your visa subclass number ie.visa subclass 457, 856 and 857. When your results are completed we forward them directly to the Australian Department of Immigration either on line (eHealth) or by registered post. A question oh knowledgeable ones!..

SHandGH Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 No worries. Let us know how you go. I know that at least Hurls10802 who is also a paper applicant would like to know how you get on.

Sol2Oz Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 wellll, i'm not complaining. According to the spreadsheet, the range is really 20 June - 29 September. I think looking at it that way, it's pretty good. Think about it - they're currently processing 4 months at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHandGH Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I honestly hope keisha has been assigned a CO, however I think it is unlikely to be the case. I would work on the basis that they are currently processing June and July (maybe August at a push) wellll, i'm not complaining.

I'm thinking now that June's are over, (the real bottleneck) they are back to pre-June speeds. Before the Junes, they were processing very quickly. Plus it's 1,000 cases a week that are being assigned :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zee80 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) sadupops, if you printed it online via your application, it should have automatically entered the TRN at the bottom of the page (which is probably why you don't remember entering it). reading the messages above makes me cringe a little bit as i front loaded my medicals, printed the forms online and can't remember entering a TRN number. :confused: i am very confused right now. hope they won't send it back it had all my passport details though and passport photographs and the doctor never asked for TRN number :eek: Edited March 16, 2012 by zee80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In another forum, a September applicant updated some of his documents and the status changed to ABPF, but no CO was assigned. This happened four weeks ago.
