I did not see the usage of form80 status, some applicants have form 80 "met" but still waiting, so no need to worry, aftter 5 months of case officer allocation mine is still "received" and i will never ask them to update the status

Application is still in state "Processing Commenced" after 11 months
I applying in the Software Engineer category, lodged my General Skilled Migration (GSM) application on the 26th of Feb, 2010 and ever since then the application status never changed from "Application received - processing commenced". I'm really worried. Is this normal? What steps need I take?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Application is still in state "Processing Commenced" after 11 months
).Ours has been "processing commenced" since January 2009, so it's not necessarily unusual. There have been loads of changes in the immigration process, so it's bound to be taking a while. So, even though it's easier said than done, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Try to just carry on as normal.

Thanks for the reply mrsgreenstar76. I have changed the post with the information you have asked for. I was under the impression that GSM applications usually take at most a year to finalize

I would image that routine processing means it's going through the usual process just like every other application does.

Re: CO @ Routine
And? Routine processing means routine processing. Routine, regular, usual, standard, typical, ordinary, unremarkable, conventional, customary, common, traditional. Any more adjectives you need to describe just how routine routine processing is?
