    So what's the average processing time at this period? Got advised by my employer last week that they just received the acknowledgement letter.

    Interesting. People complain about it taking 10 months, but it's a waiting game. If they are going to be rejected, it seems they would hear (relatively) quicker.

    surprisingly i just got approved yesterday.. start from the date I submitted my application till I got approved, the whole thing took 5.5 weeks, I was very surprised cos I though I gonna take a lot longer.

    my agent told me "normally" it takes 2-4 weeks to get the acknowledgement, then they'll ask extra docs. after all docs was gathered.. it take another 4-6 weeks to process...
    since my acknowledgement already took 5 weeks (longer than usual), I thought I gonna hv a long time to wait for the next step, but after i gave extra docs on 29/Oct, I was already approved on 31/Oct..

    btw, the online checking still shows it's in progress.. but I already got the fax from immigration that I can collect my visa.. weird..

    Does it take the same amount of time if you are changing from a dependent to work visa?

    Got mine today, am french, took 5 to 6 weeks from submission (I don't know the exact submission date, but not later than 19th of May) . Another french friend got his after 5 weeks too, so I'd say that's pretty much the current delay.
