Current processing times
Just noticed this on someone's autosig:
Visa subclass 139
VETASSESS sent 8/8/04
Positive VETASSESS assessment 30/9/04
PCCs received 11/11/04
Application lodged 22/11/04. The wait begins.......
Looking to do meds in Feb 05
How come our Vetassesment took 4 bleedin' months then?
Anyone know what the current DIMIA backlog is?

Er...that'll be mine then!! Perhaps yours was not so straightforward as ours and needed a little bit more checking
As for the backlog - don't know. Guess it boils down to which visa and if you're pre or post July.

We're on Designated Area Skilled sponsored, which I've heard are sometimes processed more quickly than some others. Not sure what the pre/post July thing refers to???

We lodged our application 24th Aug
Sent PCC's to agent 10th Sept
CC Charged 17th Sept
Medicals done unrequested 19th Oct
Acknowlegement received 26th Oct
AOS stuff requested 5th Nov
Centrelink Interview 12th Nov
Bond lodged around 15th Nov
Now waiting...
I think that Centrelink have started to get into the new process since July and are processing Bonds and stuff a lot faster.
If you look on timeline there are about half adozen at the same stage as us, just waiting for the first post July "Got IT", place your bets please!

Am I right in remembering that your hubbie is in the Navy based at Yeovilton? Have you had a request for his discharge papers yet? Still trying to work out whether this will be a problem for us.....

Yep you are right he is at Yeovilton, well remembered!.
Basically what we did was send a letter from his CO stating that huuby submitted his discharge request on 23rd August this year, that may be enough, I may be getting our hopes up because it has got to the bond stage without them asking for it, the letter may be enough???

Life's too short to be wished away - and you can quote me on that.
Good luck with your application - You'll find what you're looking for.

They said the employres reference did not show 6 years, which according to the agent we used is rubbish. Bit annoying as they could have just either phoned the employer or asked for another ref.
Anyway, got another agent on board so hope to resubmit soon, just annoying and another hold up!!!!
Good to see someone else that failed but is now moving on in the process!
