Are u serious Tin? We lodged on Sep 4th,2014 and we havent been appointed a CO yet? Woow what a new! even the auto mail till on Sep 2nd,2014

Hi Bryant, I am surprised too!

As you said, it's only till 2/9/2014, I am confused and have read the email twice! No particular CO is appointed, the email is from PVC team 1 titled with "request for payment", a letter attached with all the necessary information, telling my parents how to pay, need to response in 28 days and when is the initial entry date if the visas have been granted. So, I take it they are all still in the line and maybe an appointed CO will contact you on the final decision.

Hi Tin

How long did it take to process AOS?

Hi Tracy56

It took 2.5 months. I lodged AOS on 9/1/2017, 2 phone calls to Centrelink to know they've been instructed not to do interviews until 9 weeks after AOS application received. Got the phone call right on the nine weeks mark and got it sorted, received the acceptance letter in myGov account on 22/3/2017 (thanks to clerk85 for the myGov tips).

Some notes to person who don't deal with Centrelink at all before: make sure you know your customer reference number when you lodge your application and your address on record is right, I've been told off because I don't know my number, which I don't even know I had one, as I only got a natural disaster payment once back in 2012...with my address & phone on record still listed as 2012 info.

Hi, to everyone who is following the date, PVC has just requested 2nd VAC for my parents 143 application, they lodged on 17/9/2014

Hi all,

After you lodged the AOS guarantee with the bank and give the evidence document to Centrelink, will you receive the AOS confirmation letter by post from Centrelink?

Digging into the posts, it seems like everyone in here receive it in mygov through linking Centrelink, but I cannot link Centrelink in mygov and Centrelink could not tell why. I am wondering anyone receive it by post?

My parents are 17th Sep, done medical and police check, still filling in form 80. I have lodged aos, not sure the centrelink person did it properly though.

Hi everyone,

I've been following a few of you guys for a long time and now is the time for me to ask the experienced one.

My parents have applied for 143 and there is change in circumstance which required to submit form 1022, the completed form need to email, post or fax to 'the office where you lodged your application'. As my parents are in the process to submit form 80 (which is why we realized some information has changed since then), do I need to submit form 1022 separately by post/email? Or can I reply to the email that request documents and attached form 1022 at the same email?
