AC2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Anyone in the group had any news? I see the processing time has been extended again . 75% of applications in 11 months....from 8 months. This is incredibly frustrating.

Fidjet Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Noooo! Does anyone know why it is so slow, I get that the changes in June/July slowed things down but 11- 15 months seems a bit excessive for a just the changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 I am also very glad to say we were granted our visa (189) today. We lodged in late March and our complete application was in by 12 April 2017. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VISA APPLICATION DATE, CO CONTACT, ADDITIONAL DOCS REQUESTED, Hi brotobunz ours was not a straightforward application. We lodged 17 November 2016, and first Case Officer contact was 30 November for Form 80 and medicals. Then in March 2017 the Case Officer requested we get a custody court order for my 16 year old son even though the child's father has been awol 😬for 15 years. So that court order was finalized in May and we submitted the documents on 6 May. The next contact we got was today to say Visa Approved🙏🏽👏👏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryHeyns Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Damn, seems like I am the only one left on this group... Don't know what is going on, Adelaide office is on steroids issuing visa's left right and center while Brisbane is dead as a door nail.. There must be some issue on my application which I am not aware of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdriaanSanta Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 @BarryHeyns your not alone in this boat. The Adelaide office is having a clearance sale with their Visas and the Brisbane guys as keeping it all to themselves. I am hating this.
