IMPORTANT NOTICE!

Department of Immigration – Processing Delays

We have recently received a number of queries from clients regarding the status of their visa applications with the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC).

We advise that DIAC are currently experiencing delays in all areas of processing of applications and they are now estimating that the processing time will take a minimum of 12 months.

We advise that Migration Agents/Consultants have no control over the internal processes of DIAC. Migration Agents/Consultants can only ensure that all required information and documentation is correct , lodged with DIAC in a timely manner and ensure that any information received from DIAC is passed on to clients. We note that we cannot do anything to speed up the time that it takes for an application to be issued to a Case Officer, nor can we request that DIAC Case Officers speed up their processing times.

Please be assured that we will let you know as soon as we receive any information from DIAC about your application.

There is an "official" processing time that says Immigration are currently processing offshore cases lodged in December 2006. UK applications get processed in a parallell universe to applicants from other parts of the world and applications lodged in June 07 are currently being processed - so if you do your medicals and police clearances ( medicals within 2 months of applying as they are taking about 2 months to clear through LCU) , assuming no assurance of support and/or investment is required, your application could take as little as 4 to 5 months. so 12 months is right at the pessimistic end of the spectrum but your agent is trying to cut down on clients chasing progress reports so I can't blame them for quoting you up to 12 months.

Perhaps have some sympathy for those applying to Canada where it's projected to take 4-5 years before their applications get looked at (pass mark too low, oversupply of applicants).
