Dear All,

I think vacation is coming to Aus. Will it delay the procesing
timelines ? I think it has some effect. When DIMIA will close for
vacation ? If you all have any idea please share with every one. My
time lines are given below ...

Vis lodged - 5th May
Meds/Stat Decl requested - 6th Sep
Meds/Stat Decl sent - 20th Sep

PCC requested directly from police - 20th Oct
Sent (according to the police) 25th of Nov

Its 7 months now ????? How long it will take will I be able to get it
withing this year ??????? befor vacation :):)

DIMIA will slow down over the festive season as they are bound to shut
for a few days, and more CO's will be on holiday. It is the same all
over the place. There is no way to say if you will get your PR before
Xmas or not, but good luck.

Monday 26th Dec and Tuesday 27th Dec are public holidays but I think
they will be at work on the days in between (I know I will be :().

Hmm, interesting - how many days are between the 26th and 27th?  Do they
work to a different calendar in Oz then?  ;-)

Obviously I can't answer your question about your visa grant, but I do
know that for sure things seemed to slow down over Christmas last
year. I was waiting for my Med/PCC/AOS request last year and the
Christmas break definitiely seemed to add a week or two to the wait
times on average.

Cheers,
Brian

waiting waiting waiting ha ha ha !!!!!!!
Hi,we are in the skilled independent category. we submitted all the
documents( visa application ) in March 2004, Med., pcc, IELTS..etc
request by March 2005 and May25 was the final date and before that our
agent submitted all docs. Last month we contacted agent and he then to
the case officer. Case officer said it is still being processed !. ha ha
ha !!!!! Agent send the copy of the e-mail to me also. Remember it is
the 7th month. we don't know why this much delay. we have given the fees
to the agent including his fees by "Demand Draft" so that no rate
difference!!!

looking forward*********

In the same boat but mine went in the beginning of march, have been told
3 weeks ago that it had been passed on to a manager for some reason, god
only knows why but i wanna hear before xmas as well.
it doin my head in at the moment esp when i was expecting my visa by mid
oct at the lastest.
also have heard they have a new manager heading the department so hope
this doesn't slow thing up.
