God the waiting must really be getting to me if I'm actually enjoying reading these threads every morning 
I might open a book on who is the most likely to send another PLE in

Re: All CSL CO allocation to Visa Grant
It would have had been great if all the members could have been encouraged over placing their timelines in their signatures for sure.

We have ALWAYS encouraged members to put their timelines in their signatures, and over the years many of them have.

And perhaps if some members had actually taken our comments regarding timelines on board, we wouldn't need to repeat it incessantly.

Re: CSL occupation applicants - please share your progress/success
Oh for crying out loud. Everyone with an ounce of intelligence has been saying the same thing about quotas for years. This reply is the same generic letter that everyone who's sent a PLE about the subject receives. It's hardly news.
Perhaps XPT work experience hasn't been updated to met because they haven't finished checking everything out, as the letter says.
And again, no one, not people on here or anyone at DIAC has any idea how long the file will be with the CO so it doesn't matter how many times people ask, the answer is still that no one knows.

Re: Thread for timeline/processing/how long is a piece of string questions
Why not just keep an eye on the beupdate website. This was the whole reason why it was created in the first place. So that applicants can gauge for THEMSELVES how far along the processing is and when to expect things to move along for them.
For instance if one was to look at the number of visa's issued during June 2009 one can clearly see that compared to any of the previous months that it pales in comparison. A simple deduction would then suggest that the chances of getting a visa granted this month is as likely as winning the lottery. Yes there is a chance
but an insignificant chance at best.
If I were a betting man I'd say your odds are 1:25000. 25000 being the number of visa's cut from this years quota.

Re: CSL occupation applicants - please share your progress/success
Hi all ,
Just wanted to let u know that I asked DIAC about that quota issue and here is the reply for my PLE :
' Thank you for your e-mail in relation to your visa application under
Australia's General Skilled Migration program.
Please be advised the Department is still processing applications.
As previously advised, your application is undergoing routine
processing. Unfortunately, ensuring all the legal requirements are met
in relation to an application can take some time.
The case officer is following up on the status of your application on a
regular basis to ensure it is being processed as soon as practicable. You
will be contacted if we require additional information to process your
application.
We appreciate your patience in this matter.
For any further enquiries about the application you have lodged please
refer to our website using the following link http://www.immi.gov.
au/contacts/visa-enquiries/professionals.htm
Yours sincerely,
XXXXX
So , the quota issue is fake guys ... It is just rumors !!
But , as to when we will be granted , I don't know !!!!

Does anybody know what is maximum time for the file with the CO ?? How long roughly did the most delayed file take ??
Regards
