Too bad... Have to wait. Who is your CO?

Hi Guys
Good news and bad news..!
Good news: Co's have started processing december applicants..
Bad news: Co have asked more docs from me. Now have to wait another couple of months:(
1. 2 year stay proof in regional areas.
2. 1 year proof of full time work.
 
I have already provided many proofs, now let me discuss with my agent whatelse we can provide.
 
Good luck to you guys...
 
Cheers
Manny

Hoping they'll put it back as soon as they decide on  the new timeframe...  Not sure what to expect...

INFINITE   Anyway hopefully by the start of the next financial year things will start moving again - in a batter pace !

probably good time to call Immigration office and check, at least they should not tell that you are in the processing time frame and have to wait.....

I heard today from someone who used to deal with immigration department in the past: in July floodgate of grants should open wide!

Yes. That is true. Back in 2015 , my 489 visa processing time,many applicants had received a letter saying that quota has been exceded and visa will be granted at beginning of new FY . As they said, heaps of grant had been processed at the time ( within first 2 weeks in July)

Who is the 3rd timer next in line?

How long does it take for 3rd timers to be looked at?

It varies... Like anything with immigration process!  But I think next 3rd-timers in line are Taimoor (who is not on the forum?) and hsk, then ahp, me and Taha...

Ricky and SK10 are second-timers who have been stuck in limbo the longest!

Seems like second timers take about 2 months ish for CO to re-open.

Is there any trend for third timers?

2 months from last request or last upload?

Request.

That is from my observation from the spreadsheet.

So Nov 2017 application date, first contact April 2018, grant date June 2018.

That is about 2 months.
