Hi, my application also reached on 11th July and I got the good news that my fees were charged last 18th of August, more than one month later.
If it helps you, i think the delay in this is caused by a delay in the mail post service since there was a union issue in the national post, my guess is immigration office received an increase number of applications at the same time and that's why it's taking longer. Plus it is summer holiday time, so they must have less employees working in the files.
My application was also returned before because my credit card was rejected, that was my fault, I typed a wrong number, they suggested me to send it back with a new number so i did and now it is done.
I'm awaiting for my application number notification.
I'm from Argentina, I applied as a Psychologist.
Does anyone know someone who had applied last year and how is it going with the process? How much time it used to take to have news about medical request and rest of requirement?
Thank you
J.
