This example shows exactly how one set of answers is turned into a clear report. Your emailed version will use your own details, the closest available government data and similar completed Salvo cases.
A personal planning estimate built from published Home Affairs data and privacy-safe Salvo case results.
This is the range we would use when planning around this sample application. It is an estimate, not a promised decision date.
A useful middle point from the closest data.
A safer date for plans that need more certainty.
Some applications can still take this long or longer.
Health checks, requests for more information and individual circumstances can all change the timing.
These are unedited crops from the source pages. Each link opens the source so the numbers can be checked.

Two people applying for the same subclass can have very different experiences. We first look for government results that match your passport country, subclass and location. If an exact match is unavailable, we tell you clearly and never quietly replace your country with another one.
We look for completed applications matching your passport country, subclass and location.
If we have completed cases with the same country and subclass, you will see them in your result.
Every government release and public case page is linked so you can check it yourself.
Large government result groups count the most. Australia-wide figures keep the estimate sensible. Smaller Salvo case groups and a confirmed processing office can adjust the result a little, but they cannot take it over.
Open the main government source ↗We look for Home Affairs results matching your passport country, subclass and location when you applied.
Current Home Affairs times provide a steady starting point for every estimate.
We use checked, completed cases from the same subclass. Small groups have limited influence, and public examples are de-identified.
If Home Affairs has told you the office, you can add it. We never guess it from your passport.
Completeness, health and character checks, requests for further information, relationship evidence, sponsorship issues, caseload allocation, changing Department priorities and the individual facts of the application can all affect timing. Published statistics describe previous finalised applications; they do not control what happens next.
Salvo Migration’s Queensland solicitors can assess the legal pathway, evidence and risks that statistics cannot see.
No. It is an independent planning estimate using published Home Affairs data and privacy-safe Salvo Migration case aggregates. It is not a Department forecast or a promised decision date.
The closest large government results count the most. Australia-wide times keep every estimate grounded. Similar Salvo cases and a confirmed processing office can adjust the answer a little. Your result shows how much each source counted.
Home Affairs sometimes does not publish times for small groups. When that happens, we tell you and use the other available sources. We never invent a comparison with another country.
No. This tool does not infer a processing office from citizenship or location. Departmental allocation can change and is not reliably established from those inputs alone.
Those permanent stages are assessed from their relevant eligibility stage, not simply the original combined application date. The demo labels this separately; get advice if you are unsure which date applies.
