I'm in total agreement with you!

It was as great week last week - record number of VISAS for September 19 Granted.

But let's do better this week!!

It tickles me to think that there is a dusty old cobwebby room somewhere at DIAC - usually used no doubt to store paperbased 175/6 applications, the ones that aren't already in use as doorstops and coffee mug coasters - with a sign on the door reading "Online Complaint Forms", which has suddenly had to have some chairs put in it and bums on seats to deal with the tidal wave of wrath from the Britishexpats

Brother ur a lucky person u recieved ur visa after filling complaint.Every person is noy lucky like u and Flay Away.Am i Right

I actually think it is a little dangerous and misleading to assume that anyone gets a visa granted directly as a result of filling in a complaints form. Every application is unique and has a unique processing lifecycle.

My situation is different from many because I am actually ONSHORE - the ONSHORE visa processing guideline is 6 months, not 12 months. My visa was processed just short of 6 months.

The complaint form may well have had some influence, I think at the very least it made them look at my case and get moving on it when they saw I was onshore, but I also believe that it was my onshore status plus 100% frontloading, plus it being just singleton me in the application, so my case couldn't be more straightforward, which got me the grant so fast.

Hope this helps.

p.s. It's sister

It says on Form 1101:

"The usual processing time for records checks
is 30 days but can take longer during busy periods"

Yes! we studied at Australian for 2 years 8 years ago
Ooh!! they said reply within 28 days!! well.. hope can be process less than this period!
So it is a Pos office address? can send by DHL?
Thanks a lot

They replied me that you are not authorized to use this service kindly send form 1193 to department to change your authorized email a/c. Now what will I do Can I ask to my agent for filling complaint form behalf of me.

What exactly is it that you are complaining about? Isn't it something your agent should be able to help you with anyway?

Nothing complatinig just about for the processing time of my application which is increased to 7 months standard time

For your visa they are only processing elodged from November 07 and paper from September 07. Do you have contrary information that other 475s are being granted?

Fly Away applied in January so maybe you only have a short wait remaining.

Yes like fly away also granted his visa in 8 months and the processing dates are not updateing from last five weeks they show only 25 nov what is this I am very confused at this stage I think I will get my visa in jan or feb 2009

What does your agent say

He said to me that he will call to DIAC tomarrow because these days he is living in Sydney and he asked he is returning back to India in Mid of Oct. and will be getting my visa when come.

Oh dear,
Feel we are gonna get the same brush off, as using agent.
Still another form to fill out, that'll keep 'em on their toes.
