Dear all,
Here's hoping you'll give us the "right" answer as we have held off posting here for some time (all will be explained) but as we're at the end of our tether with this application the time has come to give it a go..
We submitted medicals and police reports in November 09. Since then we've had no change to our CSL GSM visa application.
We were originally advised that post medicals (already been through ACS approvals etc) that there was a possibility of finalising in January. In here there are one or two threads suggesting up to 9 weeks is possible - we're now over that date.
More worryingly the agent has chased the application on two occasions;
Firstly they just had a stock response, after two weeks, of "we'll pass your query onto the case officer". Then nothing.
Secondly they wrote pointing out that others they had put through after us were now being approved and asking for the status.
The response received was a puzzling "At present your application is undergoing routine processing. Unfortunately, ensuring all the legal requirements are met in relation to an application can take some time."
Which doesn't of course answer the question of why we've somehow come out of the "queue", unless of course they have been less rigorous with the others!
I have called my work references and established neither of them have been contacted.
Can anyone shed any light on what is likely to be at play here? The agent is out of ideas too.
We'd be grateful for explanations - as I've had to let two plum referral jobs go already because the visa wasn't in place. A real choker I'm afraid.
Looking for a warm feeling, but in all honesty we'd also go for some general understanding of what could possibly be going on..
Regards
Kevin
