My nomination was approved in Feb 2010. so i had to do a new application and requested for fee free status. I got a letter from them stating that my application and the payment has been received and application is being processed further. this was on 03/03/2010. till today i have not received anything from them! should i expect that everything is Ok or should i call them to ask?

then i called my agent and she was like they emailed her stating that due to backlogs it might take a bit longer than usual to finalise the application how ever it should be finalised with in 7 months .

Also she said that they are prirority processing for doctors in regional areas and CSL applicants and apparently many people are applying for ens due to the change in priority processing it will take longer thna usual .

good luck every one

cheers

Bad but in the end after corrective perseverance by his lawyer it happened. Who knows the same stuff might be happening with so many of applicants who are waiting and don't know what is happening.

Firstly Kazza is Karen! Secondly yeah I think you are right. They lost most of my paperwork and kept asking for info I had submitted. My CO wasn't so clever and her supervisor got roped in via my agent so that defo speeded things up. Your turn is coming and when it does planet earth will be miles away lol Chin up buddy it won't be long.
