Hi Tania

 

Turn me pink please...The CO has asked for job verification & sponsor relationship documents.Everything was provided to the agent.Waiting to hear from the agent....

Hi Auss,

I'm curious - what did you upload for job verification this time that was different from the original documentation you provided when you first applied?

Our online status shows as " Application being processed further"."An email sent to you"

 

Does this mean CO is allocated???

yes, congrats! :biggrin:

I'm sure you've all probably read this, but it's a good read - spesh for those of you who are curious about allocation:

Each week around 1000 priority affected cases are allocated to case officers. These allocations are currently made up of all available applications from Priority Group 1 and 3, with the balance being Priority Group 4 cases. There are no GSM visa subclasses in Priority Group 2.

As of 18 November 2011 there are around 751 applications lodged in Australia and 5544 applications lodged from outside Australia Priority Group 4 cases awaiting allocation. Since 1 July 2011, approximately 1481 applications lodged in Australia and 2702 applications lodged from outside Australia Priority Group 4 cases have been received, with some of the applications from in Australia having been allocated to case officers.

If 1000 priority cases are allocated to case officers, there will come a time (soon enough) when at the current rate, they won't have any work to do! Think about it - 1,000 a week is a lot for those numbers.

Tend to agree, didnt the recent release about getting Cat 5 application allocated say there were about 2000 applications since July 2011, and they were allocating approx 1000 week?

My bet is they will finish of most applicants up till July 2011 before they go for Christmas holidays

I don't think that too many people applied in July as the new point system took into affect, so lets hope that's true! :biggrin:
