Re: London Skilled and Parents Visas to Move to Australia
But what about all the other visa office backlogs - eg Berlin,
Washington, Auckland etc,

It's because the 1200 applications from London are just a small percentage of the (some - a rough guess based on target skilled visa outcome) 75000 skilled applications that Adelaide will process in a year. 2% of annual total? In other words, Adelaide processes 1500 skilled applications each and every week or so anyway. So 1200 extra apps won't flood the system, just delay later (than London lodgement times)applications by the time it takes to process the London backlog.

Re: London Skilled and Parents Visas to Move to Australia
Still the logic doesn't stack up. It has taken Adelaide 10 months to process less than 3 months worth of applications received, based on that they are still on Feb 02. So if London apps go to them, it certainly will still take a while.
Sadly I applied Sept 01, still waiting...

I guess with any new system / switchover, its only to be expected that they get the 'right' number of processing staff on the job and can give more reliable guidance after a year or so.

Oh hum, I get it now... They realised they were processing them far too fast with too many staff, told them to work slower and laid some off.
That should do the trick..........

PS Ever heard of under promise, over deliver??? They seem to have heard of the reverse...!

Yes we are one of the lucky/unlucky ones to have our assessments passed over to Adelaide. Lets hope we have moved further up the pecking order - we applied Oct 2001!! Come on Adelaide.
Cheers everyone and good luck!
