cengland Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hey, Has anyone had a case officer assigned for the 190 visa? Applied early July haven't heard anything yet. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolann Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hi, I'm in exactly the same boat. Lodged 190 visa on 26th June. Using an agent and they've uploaded everything. Medicals were cleared Thursday last week, but no CO yet. Really hoping we'll just hear from our agents this week or next with the magic words! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 If you've provided everything required, including medicals and police checks, you may not hear about being allocated a case officer. You may simply receive an email with the decision on your visa application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissNancy Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hey, Has anyone had a case officer assigned for the 190 visa? Applied early July haven't heard anything yet. Cheers I lodged on the 10th of July - Not heard anything either. I know the allocations are meant to start today but I'm guessing it'll take a while to get to all of us...? Not sure how it all works but they might start with the May '15 applications then June and then us from July. The anxiety is killing me!

Haven't heard about he allocations, were all the applications on hold? Just to note, the 190 visa is 3rd on the list of priority visa's so I would hope it won't be too much longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to note, the 190 visa is 3rd on the list of priority visa's so I would hope it won't be too much longer Not sure if there is a backlog but last time I checked the link to the allocations, it said that the earliest allocations was from 10th May '15. I figured as it takes 3 months to process the 190, the next lot of allocations would be in August. They've updated it to the earliest being June so hoping they allocate and process a few months worth of applications at a time and our July lodgement is captured and processed. Who knows eh? You might be able to work it out better than I can...haha.

ozee Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 From what I saw on site, only applications done before 9th of June were allocated. Page is updated monthly and in the one from beginning of July date was 1st of May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cengland Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Yeah I guess we might have some time to wait yet... Ill be 6 weeks on the 21st - the wait is a killer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolann Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hi Ozee, where do you see that info, I can never find it. I don't have an Immi account as my agent has access to mine. My visa was lodged in the 26th June, keep checking my emails every hour practically. The waiting is killing me! As it is all of you, I'm sure. Sounds as though it might've nearer the 10 wks then. 8 wks this Friday for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cengland Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 I wonder if the delay is to do with July. I believe DIBP held onto some from June and July as the allocation resets sometime in July. I guess we will be waiting another 3-4 weeks.. ?

Hi, You can find dates following https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work/Allocation-dates-for-General-Skilled-Migration-applications. 189 and 190 visas have a 3 months standard processing duration and their goal is to achieve it in 75% of the cases. Note that updates are done in the beginning of each month, doesn't necessary means case officer will be allocated only once per month for next batch of applications. For example, I received case officer on 17th of August (application made on 29th of June). Ozee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asifha Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hey guys, don't worry...you will hear soon from your agent or case officer. I applied with DIBP for 190 visa on 23rd June 2015, and I got the case officer on 13th August 2015. She asked me to upload couple of documents and I hope my case will be finalized in a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cengland Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Certainly looks like the site isn't 100% correct on the current processing visas. Gives me hope will be done in the next couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
