    Red face Approved and granted :)

    Finally after a long wait after online approval, I saw my status has been changed on Immigration Online.

    Timelines:

    EOI selected: 11/11/2015 (India's Diwali day )
    145 points ANZSCO221111 Accountant general
    ITA received: 04/12/2015
    Application lodged: 18/12/2015 (but fee not deducted until 05/01/2016)
    CO allocation: 08/03/2016 (International Women's day )
    Second person check: 16/03/2016
    Online approved: 06/04/2016 (Vietnamese Men's day )
    AIP email received: 26/04/2016
    Resident visa granted: 16/05/2016

    Now waiting for my passport back from lawyer.

    Thank you Libby2

    From CO allocation to online approval is just 29 days (4 weeks + 1 day)
    but from online approval to visa label takes 40 days! (1 month + 1 week + 3 days) => too much waiting time on administration stuff compared to the verification process itself

    Now I can go ahead to apply for Australian visa

    Hi James,

    The questionnaire was sent on 08th of March and my employer replied to it a few days later (11/03, and note 12-13/03 is the weekend). So it only took the first CO 2 days to wrap everything up and decide.
    I'd say it's near the decision if everything else had been verified. For example, in my case the CO could decide almost immediately after analysing the answers of the EQ because identity, character, health and qualification had been verified earlier on. (Health and character - from a previous work visa application => clear, qualification: NZ University => no need for the complicated NZQA stuff)

    But as you can see it took another 3 weeks for the second immigration officer to finalize the case. It's not because doing it that takes time, but because of application being put on a queue. And then 40 days just for admin stuff (AIP letter, postage, visa label printing etc)

    Oh i see. Yea i have no problem with health character coz i applied work visa before already. my qualification is in nz as well. I was just so stressed coz my CO made a mistake with the employer questionnaire he gave my boss.
