Millie1978 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 We lodged our 189 visa on the 23rd March and still no word has anyone else had to wait as long? We haven't been asked to provide further information and our agency said our file has all the documents required but cannot give us an answer as to what is taking so long. We really thought we would have had it by now, 10wks seems a very long time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 There can be lots of reasons for delays and each case is different. There is a person on PIO currently in his seventh month of waiting for a 457! the most likely reason is that a number of occupations have reached their ceiling for the year. The year runs 1st July to 30th June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliomarie Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Millie I feel your pain!! Hope you hear soon, my migration agent said the department were on strike last week but I did still recieve some correspondence... But now we are back to waiting again! We submitted in February so I have been a nervous wreck for 4 months ad counting now... Especially as out CO requesting things no one else seems to have been asked for! Only feeling reassured by the fact I've been waiting so long that I can do it and it surely can't be much longer!! Good luck x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
