Overberger Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) I think we must keep our eyes on the processing of the paper applications "Skilled Migration visas - All paper based applications for Class BN, BQ, BR, UX and UZ visas Subclasses 134, 136, 137, 138, 139, 495 and 496: 28 May 2007"the date for these applications are moving , not as fast as we wish, but I think when this date reach 1 September 2007 it will be the end of this backlog and maybe they will start spending some time on the applications lodged after this date. It seems that they first want to sort out this backlog and there were no more applications of this type after 1 September.

sasher Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi guys, please don't forget to update your details at http://www.freewebs.com/saaustraliaforum/ so that we can see how things are progressing for us South Africans. I am worried that it takes longer for us because we are a 'high risk' country. I would love to see that some people in November on the 175/176 have got COs or visas! Thanks Sasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gina- AG Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 We are really going to lose our minds.At the rate this is going we will be lucky to get the VISA's in the 12 month period my agent said.

Kerry-Lea Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Have faith.I am convinced that when there finally is an update, its going to be streets ahead. There are still people being processed during this time, so I can only assume that the weekly updates are not being updated. When they do update them, I'm confident that we will be in for a nice surprise. (Basically, if I dont keep the faith i'm going to go off my @#$%$#@ rocker!!!!)

Almost there Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 As we've said many times before, just when we think we can see a pattern or reason as to how processing is done, they change the game ... so much for them clearing the backlog on pre 01 Sept - no movement for 136 this week ... that clocks us at week 50 since application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
