Hi All, I received, my grant today.:ssign19:. Funny though My 189 was delayed for a known reason. PCC from singapore took hell of a time to be approved. Really went back and forth. However I called immi, earlier today morning. CO said has not received PCC (even-though, I uploaded my pcc to evisa and emailed it to team email seperately). So I made him, trace my email and mark it as received. He said, he'll go through my application "now". I got my grant in another 4 hours...... tada To all those who have been waiting for reasons not known, I would suggest you to chase'em up. If you know why its being delayed (like in my case with the PCC) don't bother them, cuz its just stealing processing time from other applications.

Form 80 is not a mandatory document. It does not appear on the checklist anyways, People have been granted visa's without one. Use your judgement, if you have the time to spare, go ahead. No harm done

Hi rossco2810, its from the date they issued an information request letter.

Here's what I know. I have a similar timeline to Dannielle24 I didnt get any emails about CO allocation. So I called them and from the conversation, I'm assuming:- Recently the "process" has changed. No more CO for individual application. Its all done by the whole team'. If you get an information request, they will wait for the whole 28 day period, before they action your case file. Even though you have uploaded all the documents:err:, and ask them to proceed , without further input. I would suggest everyone to front-load, or face a 28 day delay. This is confirmed by a case officer. I'm thinking, they will mark our case file for 28 days and will pop-up in their queue, once 28 days are up. My evisa page has not been updated, ever since application, so i'm assuming this is standard in the new setup, no surprise there. 190's are delayed till next program year, there is no hold up on 189 applications though If you send an email, they'll take a week and half to respond. May even not respond at all Dannielle24, I believe your case has been allocated to a team, if you have not received any communication from any GSM team's, try calling. bytheway, My team is brisbane T33.

Hi gtaylor30, Do you have any communications from DIBP, I too have a timeline similar to you, and am figuring a CO allocation by around 30 days.

I have lodged my 189 Application on 25/03/2014, am yet to be allocated a CO.
