Hi,
Appreciate if anyone and let know on the usual timeline a decision
maker takes to confirm on a VISA grant decision.  Based on my enquiry
to the immi dept, they had updated that its now waiting for decision
maker allocation and there is some slight delay on allocation of the
decsion maker..I got this response 2 weeks back. After that there is
no further info on my application..

Regards,
Arun

You will get it in first or second week of July. The delay is due to th
fact that the visas have probably been run out for this financial yea
and hence they are no longer issuing them in the last few weeks. B
patient. You have waited this long, now you see the light at the end o
the tunnel, you will soon be in daylight :

You will probably get the same reply. Wait till July first week, i
nothing happens then send a polite inquiry. FYI I got the same reply a
you, so I know you must be feeling very anxious. But hang on, I'm sur
July will bring good news to all those who are in the last stages lik
us.

Hi Arun, Jack, Milly,

I don't wish to dampen the spirit but what make you so sure the Department
will start allocating CO (Case Officer) to application submitted in Oct 2007.

I doubt the processing queue will move as fast as all of us have expected it
to.
Nevertheless let's keep the hope high ....

Regards.
Senda2008 - 08 Jul 2008 14:52 GMT
According to a Customer Service Representative within the ASP
Post-Lodgement department, standard waiting time is 4-8 weeks afte
Case officer forwards an applicant file to a Decision maker. Once th
file reaches the decision maker, in best case scenario decision will b
made immediately, in worst case decision maker can ask and conduct
further Queries from the applicant if he/she is not satisfied with an
information on applicants file. So even if a case officer is satisfie
with all the requirements submitted by an applicant , the decisio
maker will have a final say on the case, with a possibility to ask fo
further queries.

final stages of our case. Our application is ready to be appointed

Hi Jack,
  The response from the immi dept now states
"Notes on file indicate that your file will be referred to a decision
maker
for the final assessment shortly.  You will be contacted in due
course"
I dont know how much time more "shortly" or "due course"  means !!!!!

Any updates for you?

Cheers,
Arun

I got the same response as expected. My file is still currentl
'waiting' allocation to a Decision Maker. My online status stil
doesn't say 'all documents met', so I think I still have a long way t
go.

Arun,

Did you apply online ? Does your status show 'met' ?.

This is really frustrating news for me. I have been waiting for mor
than 8 months now for a temporary 18 month visa. Surely DIAC realize
this, it is downright ridiculous of them to have this kind of approac
after having introduced the visa last September to meet the shortage
of skilled professionals in the country. Somebody at the office has no
got their thinking caps on, but its too late for that anyways, th
damage has been done :(.

Hi Jack,
Sorry for the delayed response. I took some time off and decided not
to look at the progress and work on my work qualifications. Its
further sad that for a 18 month visa, they have taken such a long
time. For me the status to most of the docs have been changed to met
and others they have confirmed thru mail that the review has been done
and no further details is required. Think they have not updated the
remaining status in the app status screen. Jack , can you send the
exact mail details sent as a response to your query as I feel there is
some difference in my response to the prev one .Need to understand
your case also

Cheers,
Arun

Hi Guys

Any news from your end ? If I do not hear anything from them before th
month end I'm going to shoot off a complaint to DIAC as 9 months woul
have passed by then when the standard time for 476 visa is 7 months
Hopefully that might fasten the process
