Millie1978 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 We lodged the end of March so over 3 months. We will just have to keep waiting. The best of luck to you, keep us posted xxx Hello, No grant yet - some other people have got their visa's this morning so there is some movement; have tried to ring Brisbane office 5 times now and get the message...we are busy please call again later :-/....

susanbro Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 On the facebook group I follow there are loads still waiting. Only 2 granted yesterday and so far today, not heard of anyone. Lots of disappointed faces again today xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millie1978 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Keep us updated about that Facebook page. I know this sounds bad but I'm glad others are waiting like me.

Would hate to be the only one, hope we all hear around the same time xx Just checked there and no one has had a grant. Some have been waiting 15 weeks for 189. Have one who is at 9 weeks for 457 but they had issues with medicals so that's held that up. I think it will take them a few days to wade through all the passes and send out the emails xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanbro Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 @Millie1978 - same scenario this morning, no grants in our group and nothing on our 457 either. It's very frustrating xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanbro Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I've been on the PIO visa tracker to check for myself but someone told me that immigration have been told to process certain countries first - if you filter the tracker then you can see that 95% of the grants are from India, China & Pakistan - very few grants for any other country?? xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanbro Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Is that for the 189 visa or is it calculated for all visas? I looked at both 189 & 190 and they are both showing high percentage of the countries listed above xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanbro Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Nothing for me with my 457 yet but quite a few in my group have had their 189's this morning and actually phoned to chase them up and got the grant withing an hour of making the call.
