So if my application date was July 2014, and I have not heard from a case worker yet, that means it will be next year (2017) before they start to work on my case?

Hi George,

I'm a CPV applicant, applied in 7/2014. What is the "allocation date for final processing"? Is that the date that the case is opened for a case worker to start working on it?

Other question: Currently I am in South Korea and my work contract will end in August. Could I go to Australia on a tourist visa, and when they are ready to approve the CPV leave the country and return to activate the CPV? How long before they approve the visa do I have to be out of the country?

Thanks for your help!
