Has anyone who applied 485 in 2010 got their VISA

[Guest dtrang]

Hi guys,

 

I applied for my 485 VISA in August 2010 (using old SOL with transitional arrangement) and now I'm ready to apply for 885 VISA with occupation in new SOL. It's almost a year since my application for 485 and I deadly want it now so that I can apply for 885 before DIAC decides to make their moves again!

 

Is there a way to get them notice my 485 application? I've used all necessary means (phone, email, and even an agent) but there is no success so far. Some of my friends told me that I just need to call them and say I'm ready to apply for 885 and they would assess my 485 application right away. Has anybody here done that?

 

I'm pretty much appreciated for your comments, hints and tips.

 

Many thanks.

Hello, I applied for a 485 in February 2010. It never came and my 885 was granted straightaway. Not sure what's going on with the 485s, it just seems the COs have been told to focus on processing the 885s as there was a huge backlog of those starting from 2008. Anyway, that was a waste of about $260.
