      WHEN will SA folk get CO's?

      I know our application is only recent, but sheez - where are the CO's allocated to SA folk? There is nearly NO movement at all!!

      Sis man!

      I know! We are also recent applicants but would at least like to see a CO creeping towards us some time in the fututre! probably due to Scottish weather I am doing nothing but daydreaming!

      It does seem sooooo slow with the SA applicants - I don't know why, maybe we will get a 'flurry' next week??
      Our visa was submitted in Oct'09 and there are a few people who have received CO's, older or earlier applications, but not many. It's very frustratng.
      Let's hope for a good week next week.
      Lots of luck to all xx

      They seem to be allocating Cat 2 files to COs on a State by State basis in the order in which the SMPs were signed/published, so once you see the majority of WA-sponsored applicants have a CO I expect they will then allocate out the SA files (and then finally NSW...). Hope you get your CO soon.

      Can I ask how any of you earlier applicants cope with the waiting? I started the process a year ago, but didn't feel too obsessed cos there was always something to do for the next stage, but now I have nothing to do but wait, I think I'm going crazy!!! (and driving my oh mad, he has banned the a word!) should I go cold turkey from oz while waiting?

      It must be one of the worst things I have had to do - WAIT!

      Everyone asks "when are you going" and I keep answering - "mid 2011"... I sure hope this is not wishful thinking :(

      Oh and 'are you still going?' or 'thought it was easy to get into Australia?' my reply is mid 2011 too, here's hoping for us both!
