Well no luck again today. Only another 8 hours before they choose another CO to blind fold and turn three times and take a throw at the dart board.

Straight from the horses mouth, it was one of the ASPC call centre operators who was quite willing to give out the information, maybe I sounded desperate on the phone lol. IF you can get right person at ASPC you can get some good info but I have found this a rarity and it is purely down to luck. I just happen to have had the same person twice in a period of 2 months and found her really helpful, the rest I haven't found helpful at all and just get the standard line processing is up to XYZ date! Any additional info which is not personal I think we should all share because we're all in the same boat at the end of day.

If you apply online and scanning documents, make sure you send full versions eg birth certificates, marriage certificates etc..

Theres hope yet

Hi

Just to let you know our online form changed to being processed further on 09/09/08 hadn't realised until today, can't quite believe it I know this usually means soemone has started to look at your file so at least its a step further forward, we alos need to do ours meds so hopefully they will be in touch soon. We applied 175 20 Dec 07.

Congratulations to all those getting their visas hopefully it will be our turn soon

Wow, had email of ASPC requesting further info, we just need to scan and email full birth certificates of our kids as I only sent the short version (cheapskate me), we have CO name and contact etc.. all other stuff frontloaded and assume is acceptable. Does this mean I may get a visa once they've looked at these?? Just wondered what timescales are from request to grant?

Any ideas anyone?

PS.. previous post was late response

AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!!! I am SO RELIEVED other folk are seeing movement on this thread.

I think the time from request to grant depend on the individual CO. I seem to remember seeing other posts on here that talk about a couple of weeks but don't quote me

Thanks for feed and will be hoping for sooner, also massive CONGRATS on your grant Really good to see positive stuff coming onto thread.

Good luck too to everyone else too

ESPECIALLY to Wishwewerethere who should be flown over here first class courtesy of DIAC and put up at the Shangri La for having been kept waiting so long

Thanks, don't forget Nix and Mike and lots of others before us.
Could cost the DIAC a packet

Dear all

Unfortunately, as we have learned, there isn't really anything you CAN do. DIAC state that these visas take 12 months to process so until it gets to October 2008, they are still within their timeframes. You could try filling in a complaint form though, it has worked for a couple of us - although in my case I am onshore so qualified for faster processing in that respect. Good luck

Still waiting.... No more to say on this matter :curse:

I filled in the complaint form last night, as it seems to be quite successful, we appled 23rd FEb, will let you know the response.

They are some Nov,Dec, Jan & Feb applicant straight granted visa or CO allocated this month then granted visa this month as well. so i think may be they come back and look at us again now. HOPEFULLY!!

Have you seen the 1st of May grants???

For the love of god, we have a straight forward case, enough points, frontloaded, online..... what is going on????????????

That really is taking the p*ss. Launch a campaign. Fill in that form and phone them every day. Do you have an agent, I forget?
