I am just hoping they start speeding things up now.

Its about time.

Processing and Allocation Information

As advised on the DIMA website processing of an application will usually
commence within seven (7) working days of its receipt by the department.
This means that an application is receipted, acknowledged and a file number
is allocated.

Once this has occurred a case officer is appointed to assess each
application as soon as possible, however, the ASPC receives a large number
of applications and you will not be contacted immediately. Applications
lodged on the dates shown below are currently being allocated to case
officers for further processing.

As of 15 August 2006 the Adelaide Skilled Processing Centre is allocating
applications lodged on or before the following dates:

ONSHORE - paper based applications: 30 March 2006 (subclass 880), 28
March 2006 (subclass 881) and 3 April 2006 (subclass 882)
ONSHORE- e-lodged (online) applications: 15 March 2006 (all applications)

SIR - paper based applications: 15 March 2006
SIR - e-lodged (online) applications: 1 May 2006

ONSHORE NEW ZEALAND APPLICATIONS: 22 November 2005

OFFSHORE APPLICATIONS (all paper based)
Priority Applications: In the range of 2 March to 8 March 2006
Non-Priority Applications: In the range of 2 December to 7 December 2005


Notes


Onshore: means that the visa being applied for can be granted while the
applicant is in Australia.

e-lodged: applications lodged online have quicker processing times.
See: Online Services - General Skilled Migration

SIR visas: All applicants for a Skilled - Independent Regional [SIR]
visa receive priority processing.


Offshore: means that the visa being applied for can only be granted
when the applicant is outside of Australia.


If a visa application was made before the earliest relevant date as
shown above and you have not been contacted by a case officer please
contact the Adelaide Skilled Processing Centre at:

Do you reckon, there are sitting there laughing their socks off at people getting frustrated, or maybe they are trying to give us all heart problems so that we will fail our meds and end up not going, hence they get less work, or maybe................................

Enough, I stop now
