Hi everyone, I was assigned a CO last Thursday. She has asked my employer for details that we had already compiled, sent and had approved when applying for RCB advice in April 2013. Fortunately, all is in order, just takes time to resubmit (new department head for my work). Seems that the state immigration (SA) and federal aren't communicating. Hopefully will have this submitted before holidays begin for the government employees! Anyway, my timeline is as follows, for the Melbourne PSE Visa applied and acknowledged, with RCB already satisfied: 08/05/2013 CO Assigned: 12/12/13 Position: Restaurant Manager Low Risk country. Direct Entry. No MA, and non Decision Ready

That's fantastic news. Was your application 'decision ready'?

Congrats! At what which date did you receive a case officer, if you can remember? Helpful to have news concerning the Melbourne office!

Thats great news though! I applied 10 days after you and haven't heard about a case officer yet. Melbourne office?

That's amazing.. You were assigned a CO just 5 weeks from submitting your application! Congrats on your visa

Cheers for that. It's the difference between signing my lease for a year versus six months.

Hey ya'll, here's my contribution of the moment: Employer Nomination applied and acknowledged - 19/03/13 RSMS Advice Nomination Applied - 23/04/13 RSMS Advice Outcome given - 07/05/13 Visa 187 Application applied and acknowledged - 08/05/13 No case officer allocated yet. I applied through the Melbourne Centre Restaurant Manager Low Risk Direct Entry Non-Decision Ready (and no agent) My 457 was processed incredibly fast in May 2012. I'm preparing to settle in for a long wait now.
