I am in exactly the same position except my IMO was cashed 14/4/10. I have not had any acknowledgement from Perth DIAC. The only reason I know they have received it is because of the IMO being cashed.
I too have already sent the medicals and police checks...
This is more stressful than selling my house!!

Heres to waiting......

Visa: ENS 856 onshore

Nomination and application sent together: Yes

Medicals sent simultaneously: Yes - Well i thought so. Proof of full visa meds done and mines been accepted as fine but not the spouse and child ones. But case manager doesnt seem to know whats going on and theres been quite a few emails to tell her how to do her job (following advice from immi and sydney of course)

Police checks sent simultaneously: Yes


I love the way they take the money within minutes of recieving the app. But fail to let you know what they need if anything is missing!

Hey theonetruechris...

When you say "case manager", is that your migration agent or the case officer at DIAC?

Cheers,

Mike

Tell me about it!!!! apparently they say that you are supposed to get an answer within 5 months!! so our 5 months will be the 16th May, we will see!!!!! but they are struggling to cope, staff shortages........ so our agent has been told so will more likley be 7 months.......
