Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
I would be grateful to hear of others' actual experience of the timeline between making an application to the CIO in Sydney, NS and receiving the email acknowledgement. I have followed previous posts and the Trackitt information but there does not yet appear to be much precedent information to assess the efficiency of the new system.
My own FSW application pack was received by the CIO on 17 June, 2009. As yet, I have heard nothing. It would be good to hear how other people are doing with applications submitted in say May and June this year.
Cheers

It is up to about 6-8 weeks for a response.

Yes you are correct our application was recieved 12th May in Sydney, 120 day email recieved on the 15th July. It seems to be taking a bit longer to get a response, suspect they are now being inundated with applications!

Thanks to everyone for replying. It seems that the CIO is becoming busier and that we will have to become more patient.
Please keep us all posted on progress. I will do the same.
