Visa Grant Delay 189

Thank you

Congratulations

I know…I agree… Grateful for finding this forum to share experiences and information…

It hasn’t been an easy journey…I keep myself realistic about the struggles but we had no choice just keep searching for answers to end what we started…

I believe DHA is now clearing the backlog which is good news for everybody waiting, so just wait for your turn …It’s coming.

This is for you and everybody who get to read this and has been waiting for a while.

Good luck folks.

I’ll be around.

FYI

I think this foi shows both primary and secondary applicants because I had lodged similar foi in march 2021 which shows very less number of onhand applications. Even though they have written the data is for primary applicants only but it contradicts with the foi received by me. Have a look

Here is another foi lodged by me for onhand applications. very less number of offshore applications are pending.

now I think they lost my application…when I called them last time and before that on their useless contact number, the person asked me if I was invited to apply/lodge application…I mean how the hell you lodge an application without being invited

I also had this fear that they can lose my application few months ago. I have saved my application pdf on google drive and other secure servers. this fear is real :grin:

Thank @GurminderSingh for useful info.

Do you raise the request at this site https://www.righttoknow.org.au/list/all?utf8=✓&query=189&request_date_after=&request_date_before=&commit=Search ?

I got the FOI from above site(raised by someone else). It is only for 261313. First one is highlight total on hand application till April 2021 and 2nd one tell about the application older than 12 months. Less number of applications lodged in 2021.

With above FOIs’ and your FOIs’, I hope that soon they will give grants to offshore since they have less number of onshore applicants (specifically for 261313).

what do you mean by application lost. immi account system is online??

i use DHA official website for lodging the foi. https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/access-and-accountability/freedom-of-information

hope something good happens in july

what if their system gets hacked and the hacker deletes all data :grin: anything can happen so backup is mandatory which I have learnt from my past mistakes.

Today I received the visa grant notification for 485 VISA (its a four years visa for me), I have to enter Aus. before 16 June 2022.

I have withdrawn my 482 visa application i.e. in the immi-account I have uploaded the form1424 (refund) and form1446(withdrawal) along with a request of withdrawal in the change of circumstances section. Anything else I should do for the refund?

My 189 visa application is still under consideration with status: Recieved from last(more than) 2 years.

Thanks GurminderSingh, Thanks a lot bro.

offshore people are getting grants but not in a fixed pattern. its like a lottery at the moment. lets see what they do from july.

Any onshore getting grants??

yes many onshore are getting grants everyday.

Thank you gurminder for the information. No one updates in immi tracker the only source I know.
