FlashP5sub175 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Not necessarily. My application has said 'Application being processed further' since sep 2009. I applied July 2009, online I said looked at by a CO. There could be lots of things happening from either the COs side or the applicant's. Always good to make sure your contact details are up to date with your agent and DIBP. Edited March 31, 2014 by FlashP5sub175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvkster Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hello again... i'm sorry if I'm asking so many questions.. just so excited about this allocation after waiting for 4 years .. >< .. Which email address should I expect from CO ? I mean is it .. @immi.gov.au ? Haha i know the feeling Emmy. The email comes from the case officer so it would be end as @immi.gov.au with some details about the team at the front. Are you paper based or online? Anyways just hang in there. And set all the email filters you have to so that you dont miss a beat in your inbox:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I cannot check the progress online as suggested in above comments, I guess, because I don't have TRN number and neither Immiaccount. Hopefully, I will be contacted by the CO very soon.. >< ... Have a good one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvkster Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hi guys my visa was granted this afternoon. :jiggy:Finally, after 4 years and 10 months of waiting. Thank you so much to every single one of you on this forum who has in one way or another provided encouragement and support. Please never lose hope, I remember the times I felt so down when I did not see any movement on 175, but they started and finished. The department seems to have the intent to give us what they rightfully should and I wish everyone the best of luck with a speedy grant!! I pray all of you get to Australia asap! God bless!

The 2 week deadline by which a case officer is supposed to contact me passed 4 weeks ago. It seems to me that they are cherry picking (for whatever reason). While I dont begrudge those that have received Case officers and grants that applied after me (in some cases over 6 or 8 months after). Its hardly fair at all.

175Sep2009 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 What is this two week deadline everyone is talking about? from the site: What happens when your application has been allocated? When your application is allocated to a case officer, you will be notified within two weeks and provided with an email address for all future correspondence. Your case officer can assist with further detail on how to obtain specific clearances, and confirm the validity of any previously obtained clearances.

MGMICI Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It's been more than two weeks and there are still lots of us out there who still hasn't been contacted by a case officer so i am assuming that they might have ment 14 business days by two weeks… but on the other hand i really doubt that they will make such a mistake...

A4Ron Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I received an email on 16th December asking for medicals and police clearance. In that email I have the name and position number of a GSM case officer, the email address to use is adelaide team 4. I am making the assumption that I now have a case officer and that this is him.

175Sep2009 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 good news - well, bits only, but it is something at least. we called the ESC (Europe Service Center) today and they were able to confirm that there IS a case officer assigned to our application. but they couldn't tell us why he/she hasn't contacted us yet, but probably our documents are in the checking process. so... fingers crossed...
