so there is a chance that .. they will finish this one year application in less than a month

a wild guess..

Actually I read somewhere on the web that when the CSL rules were being changed DIAC was flooded with such a lot of applications that they had to put a freeze from 8 may 2010 till June 30 2010. So I wouldn't say a lot of applications were NOT launched. But the reason we are interested is that it shows things are progressing forward.

So wats the common opinion that from June 2009 to July 2010 there many application or very less application?

I believe that there would be less no. Of applications as lots of them vanished very fast due to CSL/MODL being prevalent then...

DIAC's current processing workload constitutes two types of people:

1. People who had been allocated CO before July 2010 and their applications had moved forward but visa had not been granted. If such people now lie in Category 3, DIAC resources would be finalizing their applications. I talked with a friend of mine earlier who is in Australia right now. He applied on CSL in March 2009 from High Risk country and got visa in December. On the other hand, on another forum I have seen a May 2009 CSL/MODL applicant who still hasn't gotten a visa (although he did get CO in Oct 2009). On that same forum, an August 2009 CSL/MODL applicant got his visa a few days ago. The important point to note is that for people who had a CO before July 2009, the "28 April 2009" boundary DOES NOT seem to apply. People who applied much later than that are actually getting their visa!!!

2. People who had NOT been allocated CO at all. My guess is that for the April 28 2009 timeframe, this would be people who were at that time in Category 5/6 and due to new SOL 3 now lie in Category 3.

3. Some people are reporting that people from after April 2009 got CO in 2011. I think this MAY be a case of confused reporting. Maybe the CO contacted the person AGAIN in 2011 and this has been confused as 'getting the CO newly allocated'?

So, in actuality, we CAN say that the 'processing timeline' is ranging from April 2009 till August 2009. Also, remember that only 1 or 2 people are repoting getting visas. It is unfortunate that the reports are scattered across so many different forums. It would be really helpful if all these reports could be summarized at one place so we know exactly how many people are really getting visas. If someone could ask their agent to shed some light on this, that would also be great!!!

Hi All,
One of my friends applied for 175 as an Accountant, hence priority-3. She was allocated a case officer on 28th February 2011. She is from Sri Lanka which is a high risk country.
It seems that HR/LR classification does not affect the VISA applicant in HR countries significantly.

And I have to take the 4 tests again, and I have to get 7 in each band, right?

its good news..that CO is there from HR applicant...but there would be some delay in getting the case finalized...as it would some background checking (although I hope its not the case)
