kbounds Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hi AmyDid DIAC mention that there was a backlog at the moment, or how big it was? We just finished with anmac's backlog (18weeks instead of 6) so any news on how long this might take will help manage the familys expectations and disappointment a lot thanks Andrew i have heard that it can take up to 12 weeks at the moment for a 189 but that's only from different threads on this forum and pomsinoz...hope it isn't that long for you. We lodged our 190 21/08/2013 and its supposed to take up to 5 weeks to get CO but have heard this could take up to 10.......hope not!

himali Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I'm glad to find this thread!!! I'm waiting for 8 weeks and still no CO. I'm almost going crazy and pulling my hair out I'm on 189 and submitted visa app on 7/8/2013 I was wondering can it be the occupation? My skilled occupation is Software Engineer and there are lot of applications from SE. Anyone got a clue about this? And Amy, thanks for sharing how you feel cos I'm in the same damn situation today. By the way did you got your visa? How long did it take for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way did you got your visa? How long did it take for you? It won't be your occupation; allocation of a co doesn't work on occupation. More likely to be there are more applications going through the system; particularly as a lot of 457 visa holders who are desperately trying to get their PR before the education charges come into force.
