I applied in 887 skilled on last September 2013 and still waiting for the result. Last time I communicated with my CO regarding my application update status and he replied "you will appreciate that all non-citizens applying for visas to enter Australia are considered on an individual basis and against legal requirements set out in Australia’s migration legislation. This often includes requirements that all applicants undertake and meet (where relevant) health, character and national security checks that are undertaken by other agencies; and this can take some time"
So do you have any experience the time frame of external security check for Bangladeshi resident. Please share.
Thanks
