I also happened to notice that DIAC have quoted a processing time frame of 12 months and 24 months for LR and HR Cat 3 applicants respectively. Wonder if that's applicable to us (Pre July 2010) applicants as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris N Lora Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Cat, as you can see we are pre july 2010.

Guest sun lovers Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Thanks Sun, we are waiting for the medical people to call so we can book ours. We r going to maidenhead was reading the posts on cat 4 and that seemed to be cheapest. Our co has requested that our children do medicals as the age they r now not when we applied, so going to cost us a bit more. I noticed that another member did not have to do that, they were allowed to take the age of the meds for the date of application. Never mind i'm not going to argue it not after the wait we have had.

Guest garynhelen Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Just wondered if it might be useful to include whether you were state sponsored before the changes or whether you are a new ss applicant and in which state? We are June 2009 176 family sponsored (currently cat 5) but due to the new WA SMP we have applied for SS so are waiting the outcome. Probably not really relevant to this timeline. I'm just hoping to be able to join it soon!!! eg Name: Date of Visa application: Nationality: High/Low Risk: Trade/profession: Visa type: Date SS granted: Date Skill back on SMP: Sponsoring State: Onshore/offshore: Medicals submitted: Police check submitted: Date CO assigned: Date visa granted: just a suggestion!
