dundeeboi82 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Good Morning Everyone!!!!! What a fantastic day it is today - not only is it my first day off work for the Xmas Break (not back til the 4th) and I think we will get the missives on our house sale concluded this week, but woke up this morning to a DIRECT VISA GRANT (22/12/11)!!!!!!! :chatterbox::chatterbox::chatterbox: Even though I was hoping it would come through before Xmas, I'm still in shock - good shock might I add!!! Just as a bit of additional info, e-mail came in from a senior CO from Team 2 and my first entry date is 04 November 2012, which was the date my front loaded meds were finalised. Also, on the 'Electronic Application Status Page' my application still says 'processing commenced' and all documents still show as required, however under each person it say 'Applicant approved' and the visa entitlement details are there - so guys, don't panic if you don't see any movement on this page, it means nothing!! I want to thank everyone in this forum (and the last one Tania!) as it's been a real lifeline - I'm heading away to visit family over Xmas so won't be on, but will definitely pop back in when I'm back to see how everyone else is doing!!!! GOOD LUCK ALL THOSE WHO WAITING - IT'S ONLY ROUND THE CORNER!!! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickW Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I don't know, actually. Yes, it's great for the 176s and 885s, but us 175s seem to have had quite a slow turn for the last two updates. Our update on 9 December showed a net loss of 5 days' processing, while today's update reflects a loss of 9 days' processing - i.e. they are taking 3 days to process every 1 days' new applications. Here's hoping the processing speeds get back to where they were in October/November! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpremji Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Wholly agree with you Patrick but I think it was expected that 175's would slow down in Dec due to the holiday season, from what I gather Jan will probably be the same as the holiday season tends to extend to the end of Jan in Oz.... On the flip side I think they have done well to get to where they are at..... All the best everyone...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...... PS does anyone know how long the processing centres are closed for? I don't know, actually.
