Hi guys,
I got my invitation to apply on 1st November and submitted my application on the 21st. I'm a worrier by nature and so I was wondering whether anyone could answer some questions for me?
1) I didn't claim any points for my spouse's skills assessment, nor did I put anything in the application about it. However, in the last few days my document upload list has appeared with "Spouse - Evidence of Skills Assessment - Recommended". Why might they do this?
2) All the documents I uploaded have been marked as 'received', with the exception of my Skills Assessment, IELTS test and Marrriage Certificate, which all still say 'required', even though they were uploaded (and certified) over a week ago. Could this indicate a problem with them?
3) The list requires the health documents to be uploaded, yet they were returned to me in a sealed envelope saying 'do not open'. I'm confused. Should I open them and upload them?
4) Do people find the case officers to be friendly and helpful, or are they officious?
There are various other things I worry about, but they are similar in nature to the above. I know most of the above can be answered when a case officer is assigned, but in the likelihood that this won't be until after Christmas I was hoping to get some peace of mind in the meantime.
Thanks in advance!
