SMC Applications submitted in [ February 2019 ]( 02 -2019) :cheers

[EGoodhue]

Just a heads up to those of you that sent your SMC application to INZ just this month, the team that receive applications, lodge them and deduct the fees for SMC applications are currently taking 21 days from the date they receive the application to the date they lodge it and deduct the fees (I'm astounded at how slow it is at the moment - it hasn't been this slow for a long time!). They are currently opening, lodging and receipting SMC applications that were received at INZ on 31 January. So if you sent your application after 31 January, it could still be a long wait until your application is lodged and the fees deducted.

I applied Jan 5 and they did not even lodge until feb 8.

that is a day short of five weeks - if they are now processing in 3 weeks, it means they have sped up.

The suspense is killing me. Hopefully it won't be a failed lodgement just as Luckyone mentioned in his new thread today.

When I login to immigration services, under immigration applications, it used to list my previous work visa and my current temporary work visa that ends in 2020. However, those are gone now in that list and the Resident visa appeared there with decision pending. It has an application number as well, but no lodgement date yet.

I wonder why my current and previous visas have been removed from the list. It does say "Below is a list of your pending and previous visas". Is this normal?
