I need to clarify a few things. I recently posted a table of processing times (from application to Case Officer/assessment). This was obtained by Emailing the Managers of the regions. I saw no problem with sharing this with this site as I thought it useful and also did not think it as privileged information.
DIMIA have received a complaint, presumably from a Registered Migration Agent, that my postings, and publication of an "official Table" implied that I may be receiving privileged information from ASPC. So, to set the record straight, any Migration Agent, or client for that matter, could have got the information that I posted, by contacting the ASPC direct. The ASPC would have preferred me not to release the table without a narrative on how it should be interpretted - which is fair enough, as they don't want clients following-up on cases when it looks like, from the table, that their Health and Character letter is one day overdue.
The ASPC was keen to point out that they do not wish to sensor information on processing times and are very keen to provide clients and agents with better general information with regard processing times etc for General Skilled
Migration Applications. To this end, they have been working on developing a
tool to put on the Immigration website that provides updated information as
to where applications are up to. This would be available online to all
applicants and all agents.
My publishing of the table has highlighted the discrepancies of processing times accross the regions and may have exagerated this a bit. The ASPC is trying to get the allocations for each of the regions at roughly the same date so that we can provide an overall date range for the caseload as whole (distinguishing between priority and non priority) rather than on a region by region basis.
ASPC expect that this information will be available on the website
in approximately two months. When there is an overall date range for Priority and Non-Priority cases, it will be expected that no clients or Agents should follow-up on cases until they were at least 2 weeks outside the time-scales.
So there you have it, I'm a bit peeved that somebody felt the need to complain to the ASPC. I'm sure that whoever it was, will also now have been briefed on the above initiatives, in much more detail and will maybe share this info with the site.

Tony- I would also like to add that I feel the information that you and other people on this site provide is invaluable. Sorry to hear that someone felt they had to make an issue of the processing times.
I suppose there's always someone waiting in the wings with a big wooden spoon !

And yes I agree with everyone else. The person who has done this has obviously felt threatened by you, your knowledge and your great advice.
We all want to see you back on here and you will have a warm welcome if you decide to do just that.

If ASPC didn't want you to share that info, they should not have given it to you, so it was their oversight, not yours. You have helped us all so much. Sorry this has backfired on you.

All I can say is that you are sorely missed on this site. I personally can say that you have been brill in answering my queries. COME BACK THIS SITE NEEDS YOU.
Cheers

To reiterate my comments on the other thread....
Maybe we should put this thread to bed now. The topic has been much discussed, and if Welsh Tony is browsing the site he is well aware now of people's feelings on the matter of him posting, and any descision is up to him.
Mindful of Sue's request yesterday in the "sticky" thread on this forum, I think we should get back to discussing immigration matters.
