No nothing yet, but I wasn't expecting to, because the initial email I got went on to say "The estimated processing time for your application is 15 working days plus mail time." >> and I got this mail 7th Jan.simpleone wrote:Have you received any updates on your application yet? I submitted my paperwork about a week after you and am waiting anxiously, so I can quit my job!
Don't forget those figures are for October 2010 - I imagine that theres been an influx of applications since the 23-Dec cut-off was announced, so figures for Dec 2010 onwards will be different. Actually according this:simpleone wrote:Yeah - same thing. I just thought the 15 days might've been an overestimate, because the UKBA site says in October 2010 all 62 tier 1 cases were processed in 5 days. Also there's people in India and Pakistan who've received their passports back in <15 days, so I was hoping they might be a little quicker in Australia.
Surely that must be in-country? Since there are people on this forum from all over the world who have submitted after this date and already have their visas and passports.bombie wrote: Only apps received pre 19-Nov are starting to be processed this week - although I don't know if this site only applies to in-country applications...
So who knows!
Well, that'd be nice, unfortunately my application was submitted by a fairly uncommunicative immigration consultant, who is the one that receives those emails. I had the one about the application being received etc. forwarded to me, but I can't trust that she will forward me the next one.simpleone wrote:No point looking for courier vans.

Wow the Dec figures for Canberra are way different compared to what I remember the October figures were. October used to be 100% for PBS Tier 1 by 5 days. But Dec doesnt give 100% till 30 days!!simpleone wrote:Looks like the stats have been updated for December 2010

Unfortunately, it doesn't really tell me anything I didn't already know
Nice one meowmeow! Did you even get an email saying your application was approved and your passport was on its way back to you? Or your passport just turned up?meowmeow wrote:Well, the courier van got here first!!!
Nope, I didn't get anything, but as I said before, the email would have been pushed to my immigration consultant who submitted the application, and she couldn't find her rear with both hands, let alone forward an email.bombie wrote:Did you even get an email saying your application was approved and your passport was on its way back to you?

Hopefully the rest of us who applied via Canberra will start getting some good news.....
Yeah - but that's to be expected, because they started their monthly Quotas around then ... hopefully we'll have our passports back any day now!bombie wrote: Wow the Dec figures for Canberra are way different compared to what I remember the October figures were.

Thanks.simpleone wrote:I wouldn't worry yet. My partner is still waiting and we submitted our applications at the same time.
