New twist in my application

I sent in the meds/xrays for the family last week and confirmed receive by HOC on 2nd Aug.

Received email informing they dont have the meds report for wife, but they have the xray. the rest of the family no problem. And the reports are bundled together in a single courier by clinic.

The clinic is furious and undermine their integrity and shot off few emails to admit that HOC lost the reports. Now need to re-submit the form 26 but doctor says only need to sign it; she will send the previous reports.

Hey Fleshy!

Yes I am ETA, are you? Hopefully it will mean something down the line...
I would be very please to get it by the end of December. Fingers cross!

I will keep you updated if I hear anything.

Default Only uselful to Parramatta 856's

Email from the department director, after an escalation process I went through - most of it is the standard email we have all been getting but processing date might interest you:

In managing the current pipeline of cases, certain occupations such as
medical personnel nominated to work in rural Australia, are being
considered for priority processing. At this time, there are a number of
these cases that have been identified for priority allocation, and we are
working through the allocation of those cases.

As a result, allocation is no longer able to be determined strictly in
accordance with the date an application is received, and we are therefore
unable to provide clients with specific processing timeframes. The
changing priorities and allocation dates are why clients who email the
section mailbox for a processing update receive only the auto-generated
response. They also explain the differing processing timeframes provided
to clients calling the DIAC enquiry line.

The only processing information that is not affected by changes in
caseloads, priorities and allocation dates is the departments published
service standard for processing permanent residence applications. The
published service standards for ENS/RSMS cases is 5 months (for clients
from ETA countries) and 7 months (for clients from non-ETA countries).
Timeframes for processing an application vary from one case to another,
depending on the individual circumstances of each applicant . The NSW PSE
team are committed to providing you with a decision on your clients
application within the published service standards, and over 80% of cases
are currently being serviced within this timeframe.

This week, we have begun allocating visa applications from the pipeline
that were lodged on the 21 January 2010.

I can confirm that you will be contacted by a case officer within 2 working
days of the application being allocated, with either an outcome for
decision-ready cases or a request for additional information or documents.
Until a case is allocated, I am unable to provide advice regarding
processing timeframes.

Nice work Pommychick!!! Witht this statement in mind is a fair call to say they process an entire months applications in one month?

I don't think so, I wish they would. As they mentioned that skills are the critical condition.
The only thing could save my hope is the 7 months timeframe.
