Default 475 processing times - question

Hi everyone,

I am new to this site and I know there are loads of posts about 475's and when people applied etc, but it is hard to trawl through them all so am going for the direct approach!

I would like to hear from people who applied for a 475 after November 07 and HAVE their visa! If such people exist!!

I only applied in June, but since that time the 'official' processing time has only moved on 13 days. I really need someone to tell me this is wrong, lol. It's maddening. At this rate we won't be going for a decade or two!

Has anyone heard anything else? I really would like to have some idea of how long it will take.

Thanks all,

Jo xx

Hello,

I applied 28th Nov and got mine 3 weeks ago.

I think they are taking 8+ months at the moment for online apps at least.

We got our 475 4 days ago. We applied on the 10.1.08. So 8 months and 6 days!! We are the fastest I have heard of so far.

So does that mean that the race is on between us!

I posted a query (no joy) and have now posted a complaint (polite but enquiring) to see if we can get some accurate idea of how much longer. No response yet, but will let you know when I do as it may help you as well. Assuming I get some real info that is!
