Also if CO asks for additional information, there is a possibilty that they will be assigned to some other cases and it may delay the things further

Unhappy Re: ENS Visa (121/856) Current Timescales

i submitted my applications for the 121 to Parramatta the 31.03.10. I've only received the acknowledgement letter on 1.04.10. My nomination has not been approved. This waiting time is really killing me!! I called last week to the Immi and they said that they cannot estimate the time. Do you guys know roughly how long does it take to have a response back??. Has anyone of your receive a response back of applications lodged in March?

Adrian,
When was the last time you got contacted by DIAC? And why did you not do the medical check when you lodge the application? Just curious.

If you are lucky your visa should be approved in two months all depend on your occupation and luck. Some people who lodged in March got the approval in two months time

thank you all!!..i am guessing that 5 weeks is nothing compare to you guys!!...all the best for everyone. The thing is that I applied for GSM (175) a year ago and I thought that ENS was pretty quick. A friend of mine got her PR in just 12 weeks. That's why i am expecting quicker responses.
