Thank you for your e-mail in relation to your visa application under
Australia's General Skilled Migration programme.
Please be advised your application is currently undergoing routine
processing.
You may be aware that the assessment of all applications involves both
internal processes and possible liaison with external agencies. These
procedures take time and unfortunately in some circumstances this process
can take 6 months or longer to complete. Your application cannot be
finalised until the results of these processes have been returned to your case officer.
Please Note: Some processes are undertaken by external agencies and
unfortunately DIAC has no influence over the time taken to complete checks..
Rest assured your application is still under active consideration and once
the results are received your case officer will contact you if they have
any additional requirements.
We appreciate your patience in this matter.
For any further enquiries about the application you have lodged please
refer to our website using the following link http://www.immi.gov.
