Re: ENS Visa (121/856) Current Timescales (Part 2.....)
Hi All
I emailed Paramatta this week regarding our application and got the usual reply by email " CO not allocated etc. But then today i got a call from the Paramatta office advising that they understand my concern with regards to not yet having approval and CO not yet allocated.
Then advised they are currently allocating & approving applications received on or around 20/1/2010 and as ours was received 16/3/2010 it could be up to 4 to 6 weeks before allocation of CO but then also said this timescale would also really depend on the applications already allocated and if they go to the approval stage without a hitch.
I asked the guy to put the details in an email and this is a copy i received about 5 mins later

It looks that way i guess.
Ken1234 I actually got 2 replies from them. The first one seemed to be an auto responder with stated in general the time frames for applications. The 2nd (which i got after 3 days) is what Chan got!

Hi Everyone
We are just about to start this whole visa thing again & we are just waiting for my husbands employer to send in his nomination to the Melbourne office, i thought it has to go to paramatta as we live on the Gold Coast but the employer lives in Melbourne & looking through this thread it looks like Melbourne are processing a bit quicker.
Will keep you update on my time line......
What is the latest on 856 ens timescales does anyone know??
