A Good News for Priority 3 & 4 Too.

]Further emails are expected to be sent to other Priority Group 3 and 4 applicants in
coming months to advise of other applications nearing allocation to a case officer, and
with updates on GSM application processing.

'Confusion' due to the client service charter - you will see that the priority group 4, for both onshore and the offshore are in the seperate box.

They have updated the email - now have reached files untill 15 oct. That will be a speed of 3 months in last two weeks. Excellent!

mrsgreenstar76

They updated that on the 1st April. See post #43.

ciocan76

No, you are wrong.

On 1st of April they where at "Skilled – Independent (Migrant) subclass 175
VE 175 (e-lodged): 16 July 2009
VE 175 (paper): 16 July 2009"

Two weeks later, on 15th of April they are at "Skilled – Independent (Migrant) subclass 175
VE 175 (e-lodged): 15 October 2009
VE 175 (paper): 15 October 2009"

Unfortunately the line " Last updated 1 April 2011." is not updated by mistake.

I have original emails from my archive to prove it.

mrsgreenstar76

Ahh, fair enough. *Makes note to self - pay more attention to the e-mail other than the date!*

My apologies & thanks for the update

Also, DIAC mentioned that they will send the email notifications to let the people to advice to obtain character and health clearance if their application is going to assigned to a CO soon.

Last time, they sent email notification on 18th March. So, I expect another set of email will be sent very soon.

Does anyone receive the letter recently?

mrsgreenstar76

I'm not too worried about the e-mails regarding the health & police clearances. I'm priority 4, so I'm just focussing on occasionally checking for an aspc update. Any other e-mails happen when they happen.
