What kind of visa are you applying for? If it's just a WHV then it shouldn't take so long, but if you're trying to immigrate permenantly then that's a long process.

Processing times for PR visas are quoted on www.immi.gov.au as taking up to 12 months and that is but a guide and I have heard of people waiting longer.

Australia has been and still is a very popular country to immigrate to and many people (100,000+/Y) do have applications rejected for probably not being eligible or failing to provide full information.

Sounds like yours in on the approval track but election, new government, Xmas/NY holidays etc. along with time take on all the rejected applications will just slow the process down.

Hopefully by now you may have had it approved.
