Congrats!!! but which country do you belong?
China. Iāve updated my case already.
Congratulations mate !!
Congrats!! Wish all good luck!~
Hey Guys, Since, there is no processing times at the moment I think its the perfect opportunity to be sending off those complaints to the Global Feedback Unit (GFU) or the Commonwealth ombudsman since they dont generally respond to complaints that are within processing times. you can say in your complaint THERE IS NO PROCESSING TIME!! and they are telling us they are have āLOWā volume of applications which means there is no reason for them to delay our applications. I am going to write another complaint to the GFU right now.

Iām no expert, but I really think that there is no reason to panic about this new update for processing time and that everyone whoās already applied or has been invited is safe and will get their grants. But I wouldnāt be surprised if there were no more invitations for 189 in the future. I think what is more important is the processing time shown in your application

You are correct. One thing I think it would be helpful is to prepare your docs and update them ASAP if necessary. I sent DHA new Police Check in the middle of Dec although my old one will expire in Jan. My concern is some CO may donāt like docs which is about to expire. But itās my personal idea. I donāt want to give them any chance to ask for further docs which may cause delay. And donāt be panic. I lost my job and do nothing for 3 month. Waiting is painful but remember to take care of yourself.
Could you please share the link to lodge the complaint. There is no harm in expressing our concern.
click next at the bottom of the page once you have lodged here you can also lodge at the ombudsman https://www.ombudsman.gov.au/
