Some news from DIAC regarding acknowledgement of applications

News

From 21 May 2007 the Admin team in the ASPC is changing the way they receipt and acknowledge applications.

To improve the service provided to clients the Admin team will be receipting payment within 7 working days of receiving an application where e-mail communication has been authorised. Applicants or their authorised representatives will receive acknowledgement that the department has received their documents and receipted the relevant visa application charge.

Once an application has been receipted it will undergo validity checking.

An acknowledgement letter with a client reference number and receipt will be sent about four weeks after lodgement if the application is valid.

Then the queue for acknowledgements

Acknowledgment of Applications

Applicants and representatives who have authorised e-mail communication can expect to receive confirmation that the ASPC has received an application and receipted the relevant visa application charge within 7 working days of the department receiving the application form.

Applicants and representatives who have not authorised e-mail communication will not receive separate advice that the ASPC has received and receipted an application and will receive the standard acknowledgement letter.

Please note that any delay in acknowledging an application does not affect the date on which a valid application is recorded as having been received and does not delay processing of the application.

As of 22 May 2007 the ASPC is acknowledging onshore applications received on 3 May 2007 and offshore applications received on

19 March 2007

And the queue has only moved 2 days this week :whome:

Could somebody clarify this for me :

Whats the difference between an application being receipted and an application being acknowledged ?

And when is the date it is lodged ? Is it when they received it initially or is it the date of acknowledgement or ... ?

Thanks

Gary

Hi Tommo

This is the new way they are receipting applications.

From 21 May 2007 the Admin team in the ASPC is changing the way they receipt and acknowledge applications.

To improve the service provided to clients the Admin team will be receipting payment within 7 working days of receiving an application where e-mail communication has been authorised. Applicants or their authorised representatives will receive acknowledgement that the department has received their documents and receipted the relevant visa application charge.

Once an application has been receipted it will undergo validity checking.

An acknowledgement letter with a client reference number and receipt will be sent about four weeks after lodgement if the application is valid.

So basically you will first get a receipt and the the normal acknowledgement letter.

Your date of application is the date your application arrived at ASPC.

Hi Dedrei, miskien kan jy help. Jy lyk of jy weet wat hier aangaan. Ons het klaar 'n case officer gekry, 4 April. Medies al weg gestuur en IELTS laas week na Aus. Nou wag ons net vir VISA's. Hoe lank neem dit gewoonlik? Die agent sê hulle het 12 weke om te respond, maar wat is 'n goeie gemiddelde tyd? Wat gebeur? Vra hulle vir jou visa's en dan kry jy dit na 'n ruk terug? Of kry jy eers 'n tydelike ding of wat? As iemand anders kan help/antwoord, asseblief, Thanks,

Hi Langes

Ek is geen expert nie, ek is ook maar net besig met ons visas. Watse visa het julle voor aansoek gedoen? Het DIAC gevra vir meds & ppc's? Wanneer het julle aansoek ingestuur?

We went to a seminaar over the weekend where they had a delgation out from Western Australia Goverment.

The chap i spoke to said that they have to reach their target of 120000 visas before the end of June, according to him they are quite far behind the target, those of you expecting your visas should be one of the lucky ones.

Holding thumbs for everyone, we dont expect ours.

He didn't say wether that 120000 was just pr visas or if it included temp visas.

Cheers

Hi Guys

I have started a little timeline of my own for all members of SAAustralia.org. It can be found at http://www.freewebs.com/saaustraliaforum

This method is used on BE forum as well, and is invaluable and is a great tool for keeping tabs on what is happening to other member’s applications and your own. Those that have received your visas in the last year, please think about adding yourself to the list as well.

I have added myself to the list, if you would also like to be added and help other members and yourself, please email me with the following details to dedrei(at)saaustralia.org or PM

Member name

From where are you?

Where you going to?

Main applicant’s occupation

Visa applied

Applicantion sent

Application arrived at ASPC

Pre Acknowledgement received – only applicable to applications sent in the last 3 or 4 months. This is the email letter to confirm receipt of application

Acknowledgement received – this is the proper acknowledgement with your file ref number.

CO allocation dates if known – this will be when you get the letter asking you to go for meds and PCC’s

And then just general notes if you have frontloaded meds & pcc’s and that type of things

Not all details are required, as I know some members prefer to remain anonymous, so the visa details are the most important details I need.

Also, the sheet is still a work in progress. If you have a visa that I have not listed, please let me know and I’ll add to it.

Good luck to all still waiting

Cheers
