I am not sure if any desperate employer waiting for BVA visa holder... Its disastrous for applicants, its career, its family. We are socially deprived in the name of ESC. We have to wait until doors open otherwise its too suffocating with scars on every waiting soul.

no idea what they upto, I know people coming on 190 and processing time was 4/5 months. I have no clue why they doing this with 475 group. I think its not country or faith specific.

co alotted after only 500 days team 10 asking fresh afp team 13 asked educational history / employment history / current status submitted on 1st october day no 520 475--887 any suggestion?

how we could contact them? I know calling them is useless.

Just completed year. No contact from immigration sofar. Someone told it could take 12 to 14 months after case officer. So be ready for a long journey guys.

Congrats DARR. atleast its moving after a long lul. Can i ask what nationality u r mate?

I have not checked old online progress checking system after importing application to new system. But happen to check today n there is update that application processed further on 12th dec. but no message on new system. Does anyone know what its mean ? If it CO allocation or just routine mail. I have not received any communication or email since i file my application. Anyone wanna comment.

Half of them on leave n rest half planning to leave

Now u should not be 'still waiting' make it 'still happy'

For those who wondering what's happening with their application until july 01, web site says case officers are allocated to all remaining applications on 23rd dec. Allocation table The tables below list the earliest lodgement dates for applications that have been allocated to case officer. You can use this information to determine when your General Skilled Migration (GSM) application will be allocated and to prepare your application for assessment. This information was last updated on 23 December 2013 and the next update will occur in late January 2014. Applications will not be allocated over the Christmas and New Year period.

This is not correct, many people are waiting.

Someone gossiped don't know if its true, if u have 2 or more kids, strategy is to delay as much as possible cause this will save funds for them as they have to pay child support. Sound bit mean but u never know. A guy came here on regional PR and got paid child support after 6 months as they were lacking funds. Hoon.
