Hey Doll,

Don't worry.

Everyone is getting the mail like this only.

I got the Delay mail on Wednesday (14th May, 2014).

The contents were the same.

I hope atleast 50% of the people in this forum gets the same mail.

This is the default template the case officers are using.

Lets wait till June end.

Apparently so @kapildeverampu

This is why I am asking to see if anyone has been asked about this by Western Australia. It came into play December 2013.

It worries me as you only get 60 days from being invited by Skillselect to submitting the visa application!!!

Try contacting people in Australia. They might help you.

Try contacting this person. "Paul.wheeler"

Paul.wheeler@2xmglobal.com

He might provide some advice.

Join Linkedin Australia and search for recruiters in Australia.

Cheers !!!

I think this is the case only for Western Australia. that too for schedule list 2 occupation of WA.

@ Nickbray:

I am not aware about this.

http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/skilledmigration/Pages/HowtoapplyforStateSponsorship.aspx also speaks about it.

Do we really need to have a employment offer for 190 visa to be granted for Western Australia ?

This is surprising....

When is this effective from ????

@ Joydeep,

I forgot to ask the date my CO was allocated. But they said that the CO is allocated. Should have asked the date also. Missed it.

I live in India. I called immi on +61131881. Just dial this number from your mobile. You get an automated voice followed by the waiting time of 10-15 mins before someone attends your call.

I have finished my Medical and PCC. Medicals is uploaded. PCC I didn't upload. Waiting for my CO to contact me.

What about you. I see that you are waiting for a long time for CO to contact you. Have u uploaded your PCC and Medicals.?

You must be allocated the CO. I think he didn't contact you. Just call +61131881 and confirm with immi.

Found this info in immi site.

-------------------------------

When your application is allocated to a case officer, you will be notified within two weeks and provided with an email address for all future correspondence.

Your case officer can assist with further detail on how to obtain specific clearances, and confirm the validity of any previously obtained clearances.

"so the case officer must contact us within 2 weeks after he is allocated"

Good Zhuzhu99 !!!

I also called the Immi, they said that the CO is allocated for my visa application. But the CO has not contact me yet !!!

@Sephie(Feb 11)

Good that you got your CO allocated

Keep us posted if you get a Grant

@Zhuzhu99(Feb 9)

Did the CO contact you?

I heard from immi, that CO are allocated within 7 weeks.

Some CO contact you immediately, while others take some time to contact you....

Joydeep

Didnt you still get any notification from the CO??? Surprising !!! Have u uploaded ur PCC and Medical already ???

I see that you have lodged your visa application on 31st Jan 14.

Regards,

Kapil

Hi Tigerfeet,

My agent said that if all documents(including Medicals and PCC) are uploaded upfront, then even if the CO is allocated you will not come to know because he has all the documents available with him.

He will give you a direct grant.

The CO contacts you only if he requires the document.

Cheers !!!

Thanks Sephie

Hey Thomas,

I think we need to wait for 7 weeks excatly to get the CO.

Only on the 7th week you hear about the CO.

I am on the sixth week now.

Regards,

Kapil

Thanks Zhuzhu99

Does any one know the contact number of South Australia adelaide skilled Processing Center.

Need to call them

I know the "national contact numbers (131 881, 131 880 and 133 177)"

How do I call them from India?

Could any one let me know the contact number to call them from India.

Regards,

Kapil

@Zhuzhu99(Feb 9) and @Sephie(Feb 11)

I have also lodged my 190 application on 2nd week of Feburary.

Hoping to get a CO this week (or) next week.

Do update in this thread, once you get the CO, So that I can know what is happening.

Thanks.

@Roxy1990 : Thanks !!!

@Roxy1990,

But why is that some are receiving the Grant ????

In this forum itself, There are some people who lodged on Jan 28th and got a grant ?

Is that your final status. R u done with your PCC and Medicals?????

So do you need to wait till July untill you receive the Grant ?

Regards,

Kapil

@eddieb7 and @weaz

Thanks for letting us know.

Based on the timelines, I see that Both of you got the CO for 190 visa on the 7th week

Because I see that, there is some news spreading on the delay of 190 Visa.

But still the Australian government has not confirmed anything officially

Certainly smiled when I saw this post.:biggrin:

3 Months, instead of 6.

 

Fantastic.

Bring on the Visa!!!!:biggrin:

Ya, I noticed it. It was updated on Mar 3 ,2014.

The 190 Visa Processing time has been reduced from 6 months to 3 months.

Lets hope for the Best to happen !!!

there is a post for the february gang already on the link below

 

http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/204239-190-visa-february-lodge-gang-2014-a.html

 

 

There have been no recent CO allocations or grants as far as I know for people who lodged in January. (Except maybe some of the early January lodgers)

Take some time to read back the posts in here and try to relax, it's a long ride. :daydreaming:

 

Most people here have been waiting for more than 4 weeks already...

Thanks for reply and link Weaz
