ITA Lodgement December 2018

Good to see it's moving. How long it took your application to complete 3rd party checks?

it took roughly 7 weeks after the SAT CO Started processing everything. She sent the file for third party check 2 weeks after processing. So 3rd party took 5 weeks to process. the application is sent for quality checks today.
Does anyone know how much time it takes for 2nd person check and how much time it takes for evisa after the quality checks are done.

From looking at recently approved applications, 2pc seems to take around 3-4 weeks at the moment. For some it's sooner for some it takes longer.

The actual check on most cases only takes about 20 minutes. The time that passes is your file waiting its turn for attention, and that varies with how many happen to be before it when it gets sent through.

So what exactly is involved in 2PC check if it takes only 20 min. I thought its a detailed review of work done by case officer and should take longer than that, at least an hour or two.

Erin posted about this previously: "this check is to ensure that an Immigration Officer has not failed to check any part of the application and that their rationale for the recommended decision (approve or decline) is robust and in line with instructions".
