JBudd Junior Member Member # 641	Posted November 09, 2001 07:50 PM I have checked the Australian embassy site for Ireland and there is a note to General Skilled Migration applicants reading the following: quote: Please note that due to the high demand for these type of visas there is now a waiting period of approx. 15-18 months. Surely this can't be right, does anyone know how long it really takes? Also I've read that because of a shortage of IT professionals in Australia, these applications are given priority and so should be faster. Is there any truth to this?

Elfa Member Member # 5	Posted November 13, 2001 01:25 PM Hi Processing times in Adelaide are quoted at about 12 months now. Priority will still be given to ICT Professionals, but I would still count on 9 months for these types of applications. BTW, it is highly unlikely that even an ICT app would have been processed within three months, generally at overseas posts they were taking 7-9 months anyway.

Elfa Member Member # 5	Posted November 13, 2001 04:31 PM Hi You are right, I think it was the fact that not as many apps are lodged in Dublin - London is rather overburdened....but again, I suppose it is too late to dispute the matter.
