No, nothing for me yet. Getting a bit fed-up and, dare I say, paranoid now. Exactly 3 weeks today since we lodged... but nothing we can do about it

Yeah really baffles me the way CO's are assigned, one thing I have heard that DIAC does not move forward till they receive the Form 1100 from the state sponsoring you. Have heard cases where forms get lost or delayed by the State authorities .My 4 weeks are up so finally going to call DIAC tomorrow and ask where do I stand.

Well, WA sent an email on 3rd May saying they received my signed agreement and sent 11000 to DIAC. So I'm hoping all is in order as far as that's concerned. I'll just have to wait a bit longer and remind myself to be patient. Seriously, you haven't heard anything yet??! My word, that's ridiculous! You filed a whole 2 weeks before me. Keep us up to date with what DIAC says tomorrow - good luck!

Thanks

Hi Paul congrats and welcome- this happened to me initially i just waited - you can also check the Diac site which has certain times they update the system etc Nitsha provides the link to upload docs if you trawl back through this thread to page 18 0r 19 you use your TRN and your original password when you started filling in the form to use it :)
