DGT Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 My Son in Law applied for AOS on 13 Oct 2017. He visited CentreLink in Perth twice before and both times they saw that he was on their system.All good. We just had to wait. However,Yesterday he visited them again and they simply cant find any trace of his application.He was passing by and did not have his file with him.The lady that helped him in the past recognized him and was baffled. Luckily he has an official CentreLink date tamp on a copy of his application forms.They could not call the relevant parties as they are in Sydney and had already closed for the day.Hopefully they will find the application on their system and/or fast track our application. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, your son will need to upload those documents into My Centerlink online. They showed me how to upload when I was in their office. I think they will escalate your case and your son will get an interview call very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTN Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 @Elna - congratulations - what a relief. Your gamble paid off, now you can go to Thailand and enjoy a well deserved holiday. It was a real roller coaster ride. Thank you for all that you contributed on this Thread - much appreciated. @ Tina - if your AOS has been paid and approved how come your not yet granted? Will DIBP wait till they reach 13th April 2015 processing date? If so then not too long to go for. It seems that DIBP spot on on their calculation of 36 / 39 month processing period - Elna applied on 25th Feb 2015 and got visa on 20th Feb 2018. Lets hope it carries on the same time period for all in the waiting room. @DGT - sorry about that - hope all sorted now. @Viet -- welcome - yes you can join in. State your application date and destination - Tina will update chart. For the rest of us - holding thumbs up. Best wishes to all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After submitting, my son also phoned a few times, personally visited a few.... he had seen the documents himself on the system. All was apparently good...... However, delays did occur. Fist was a missing signature, then the docs were uploaded onto the wrong place and after being corrected they appeared in two different places on the system. The notification was never sent so my son received a letter asking him to please submit the AoS, 14 weeks after was had done so. Again phone calls done, and an urgent was put onto the file. He received a second letter asking for the documents again, and that he please phone them to do the interview. He uploaded the missing docs, and did the call. Lovely lady, checked and all's good. We now wait for the letter to take to the bank and do the payment....

Also the processing times for the 143 visa is now 38/39 months Thanks @JTM. Very interesting stats. So we know that they could not complete more than 6218 applications in one year.We know that the limit is 7100 odd. Also strange that they only received 3312 applications in one year although they are allowed to issue 7100 .I suppose that they are obviously keeping busy with the "old" applications and are only allowed to issue 7100 in one year,no matter how old they are? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
