Guest Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 seniors and fellow mates, Called the DIAC day before yesterday, they told that my case is assigned to team 33. They dint share any further info like co name etc. Irony is that I haven't received any communication regarding CO allotment via e-mail. They also told that the CO is doing initial assessment of my application. What does this initial assessment mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plutology Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 i suspect all our CO will conduct documents assessment and verification once they are allocated. after verification, they will contact applicants if further evidence documents are needed. That's why the first email CO sent to applicant is to ask for more evidence documents.. so.. behind the scene, they have actually conducted initial assessment before contacting applicant.

jbb Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Congratulations, jbb! Really good news! Were there any verification checks(e-mails, calls from embassy etc)? And what are the initials of your CO? Thanks. Thank you newwave!! Yes DIAC had emailed my current company the documents I had sent them to validate. I had also received call from the Australian Embassy from New Delhi and was asked employee code....date of joining, last date...designation from my previous company as well as current company. I do not know if they did any verification from my previous company or not though..... My CO was AK from team 33. All the best with your application!!

Do DIAC contact all current employers for applicants? My current employers does not know about my application, so i'm a little worried about this (i'm at state sponsorship stage).

Even I had not informed my HR about my visa application....they came to know about it when DIAC sent them the email.....my HR was pissed off hearing about this....but as you can see that they did not give any false information and validated the email which DIAC had sent them.

Good luck with your application! Thanks for the heads up jjb. It's a difficult one to decide what to do? Tell them & if I get the visa then I've been open, but it's a huge risk as if I don't get the visa, I could have burnt my bridges in a big way! Lots to think about! When / where in Australia are you planning to go? What is your occupation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers NAseef Thanks Naseefoz! I have seen one of the forum members get a CO assigned and after 2 days the visa has been granted. So it is quite possible that your application might already have been allocated to a CO and he is already processing it. It is possible that the only communication you receive from the CO is that you have been granted the visa!! :biggrin::wink: So do not get disheartened!!! Good luck with your application.....

Hi, jbb First of all Congratulations on your visa grant. My CO is also AK frm Brisbain Team 33.Could you please share how she is, means is she a tough person to deal with? and why it took so long for verification frm CO side, did'nt you provided all the documents? what was the main focus of CO for verification?

Thank you ozfever!! I think AK is cool....she did not bother me or my agent at all...she just sent email 3 times since the time she was allocated my case....one is the email she sent informing us that she is the CO processing my application....second....she replied back acknowledging that she had received the documents which she had requested to be resent via email.....third......she wrote to inform us that I have got the visa granted....:biggrin::wink: I do not know if she did the job verification from all the applicants she handles....I feel the only reason she might have done verification is because I had claimed 8 yrs of exp which gave me 15 points for work exp....when I had done my skill evaluation from ACS,...that time I had not got my skills assessed from my current company since I had just joined and was just 2-3 months old only.....later at the time of visa application I was almost 1 year old in my current company....and therefore had to submit reference letter signed by my colleague...as I did not want to discuss about this with my HR...since I was barely one year old in the company.....so I feel they may have just verified to confirm if I actually am eligible for the extra 5 points which I had claimed in my application or not....also apart from that I was also awaiting PCC from another country where I had spent more than 12 months....I guess I might have got the visa much earlier say by Nov 20 or so but since I did not have the PCC in my hand....therefore it took a little bit longer....i submitted my PCC on 28th Nov and got the visa on 3rd Dec...nonetheless I am very happy that its over and now I have a PR . Good luck with your application..... Edited December 3, 2012 by jbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a relieved person today.....yeah team 33 was on a roll today....granted visas to 3 people...all of them had CO assigned on 25th Oct....I understand how feel Colin.....but cheer up.....I guess it is more of a formality in your case.....once your meds are cleared....I guess you will get your visa in 2-3 days max......have some more patience and hang in there....thanks for all the support and guidance you have provided to me and other members of this forum!!

ztjt2003 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Still no communication regarding CO allottment. Sad Don't despair! I got my case officer one day and the visa the next, so they must do some processing before we hear about the case officer. Is also heard about someone getting their grant without ever hearing from the case officer good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
