owensfamily Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Hi everyone, much to my surprise I woke up this morning with an email from Adelaide processing centre with our case officer details and requesting we provide medicals and police checks within 28 days. We applied in August 2008 (175) and have sat in the lowest priority processing pretty much from the start, obviously the news last month regarding Cat 5 applications gave us some hope but I only checked the allocation dates last week and it was still on December 2007 so we felt we had a while to go before we got a case officer, but today we have one which hasn't quite sunk in :biggrin: Anyway just wanted to post this so others in similar situations are encouraged that DIAC are actually processing Cat 5's and it would seem are far ahead of what is posted on the allocation webpage.

Stovies Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Wow! That was some wait! Congratulations! Also, good choice of State! I am always amazed at how much housing costs in other States. We have always had lovely, big quality houses with land in (Outer) Adelaide for really good prices and it is such a lovely, peaceful lifestyle here too. Best of luck with everything!

DIAC said in a Statement that they was going to address as many as possible Cat5's by the end of 2012, so looks like they are living to their word.

mchugh1980 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 That's great news! I'm really happy to finally see movement in the CAT5 mess! I'm a CAT5 176 who has been waiting for almost 4 years! It really is good to see people getting CO's. I hope you get a speedy grant, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
