Just seen on ASA Migration forum that someone has been told by DIMIA seems were slower between DEC and FEB due to the issue of visa for Commonwealth games takin priority. Perhaps this is why someone has been told DIMIA are behind 6-8 weeks.

I am with ASA and it was me who was told 6 weeks behind. The Commonwealth Games theory seems to make sense - doesn't make the waiting any easier though!

I know especially when you see on Austimeline people in Oct were getting their visas February (around 3 months 7 days) and that we know people behind us in acknowledgement numbers are being advised of case numbers.

I think I am going to have to force myself to stay away from this section.

Someone please tie my hands up and convince me there was life before visa application and John Howard.

God bless the short bald one and all who sail in him.

I wonder if I invite Johnny to my flat for tea, would I get priority.

Its just all this talk that they have run out of visas, makes me want to chew my fingers off.
