Hi Anik... nice to hear from you.
Well, given that u have applied on 3rd May, I think u can wait a few more days knw I knw how hard waiting is, but since many April applicants are getting visa grants these days I'm sure ur day will come pretty soon.

The system update for the medicals took a little more time for me as well (longer than we expect), but all that will happen...

So my suggestion is u wait for few more days, even if you send a mail it'll take time for them to reply too right...

Good luck..

ANYWAY, WHEN U R GOING SA? WHAT IS UR PLAN?

April applicant's are silent these days.....! Is there any updates about grant?

I asked my CO to advice me about my application status. He replied-
"No further documents are required at this time. At present your application
is undergoing routine external processing which I anticipate to be
finalised in the next 6-7 months."

What is routine external processing? Pls advice?

aliah

your country?
Your form 80 status?
Is it 1st time that CO mentioned time frame estimate???
have you been through "Internal checks"????
thanks

Pollyana

Its routine processing being done externally to DIAC. Be patient, it means they are waiting for the response from an external agency.

aliah

Can you kindly tell whether "employment verification"is part of external checks or not???

I am from Bangladesh. Form 80 also met.
