I haven't heard anything on this

It seems like nothing is happenning.
As per the july rules
people should be getting thier acknowledgement as well as meds and pcc.

Cheers

Can anybody help me with some maths today?

1. Does anybody
have any idea when we can expect acknowledgement along with request for
meds & pcc? Let's suppose it will take 1 month (about average up till
now) after application lodgement.

2. Once meds & pcc is submitted,
how long will it take to receive visa grant? Let's suppose it will take
2 - 3 months (about average up till now).

(Q) Am I correct then by
ASSUMING that the whole skilled independent process will now take
approximately 4 months from lodgement untill visa grant????? :scared:
Or am i being too presumptuous?

We anticipated the process to take 8 -
9 months ... but 4 - 5 months is good! :D

they lodged on July 1st (but who’s clients my not post on this forum).

well i posted my application (skilled indep 136) on june 28th, which
would have got to OZ after July 1st and i noticed last night that my
credit card was charged on the 9th july, so at least i know it got there
safely, so in theory if the new process is in full swing i should get an
ack. fairly soon, will post as soon as i do.

I am still in shock. Have just re-read the letter from DIMIA and they
actually requested this info on the 7th July..7 days after I lodged it.

Amazing. Visibly shaking.

Where am I off to? To be honest, not too
sure yet. Will do some major research.
