What should i do ? Thank you... Unfortunately I don't think there is anything you can do. My guess (my hope) is that the reason that they have allocated us is that they intend us for this years quota. I hope this means that we will have to be processed by end of June.

My guess (my hope) is that the reason that they have allocated us is that they intend us for this years quota. I hope this means that we will have to be processed by end of June. All I have is this Client ID number (with a request number) and I have only received 3 emails from DIAC after they received my application. One was to inform me that they have my applicaiton and they gave me my ID numbers. Second was to inform me that I was no longer in priority group 3 and was moved to 4. Third was also to infrom me that they have opened up a group 5 and I was moved to this new group and that I can withdraw or keep waiting... But no emails from a case officer stating that my application is now allocated and that it is being processed. Are you pretty much in the same stiuation ?

parissa Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hi guys... I've send a complaint to IGIS regarding my long-waiting security check... They just copy/paste the last reply... and only defer the next email to October 2014... God knows what the hell is going on .... ****************************************** I refer to your inquiry concerning any security assessment that may be required for this visa application. This office is the Office of the Inspector General of Intelligence and Security (OIGIS) and we do not process visa applications or make security assessments. We do, however, oversee the agency that conducts security assessments if one is required as part of the application process. The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) is the agency responsible for conducting security assessments. We contact ASIO for information about visa applications to check ASIO’s handling of any security assessment associated with the application. We are able to check whether or not ASIO is acting unreasonably or has made a processing error but we are not able to direct ASIO to change the priority of a case, or make the process quicker for a particular applicant. Only the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) can do this. I have now conducted an inquiry into this case and advise that there is no unexplained delay, illegality or impropriety by ASIO affecting this case. The application appears to be progressing through expected channels and there are no grounds for any further action by this office at this stage. I understand that this visa application was lodged some time ago, and more than 12 months has now elapsed without finalisation. However, many other applicants are also experiencing similar delays. Please note that the length of time taken to process the visa is not necessarily indicative of the outcome of the application. You should also note that, in the experience of this office, timeframes advised on the DIBP website for the processing of visa applications are a guide only. You should maintain contact with the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) for updates regarding the status of this visa application. If you have not received an outcome for the visa application by October 2014 then you may contact this office again for another inquiry.

My guess (my hope) is that the reason that they have allocated us is that they intend us for this years quota. I hope this means that we will have to be processed by end of june. i tried calling the immi office; the phone got disconnected 3 times after waiting in line for about 45 minutes on each call and finally i've got a hold of them on my last call which was another 40 some minutes of waiting in line and i asked the lady if she could help me with some information about the status of my application... She must have been really tired or was having a bad day because she replied right away ''probably not'' so i kindly asked her to hear me out and tried to her about my situation… while she tried to direct me to the immi web site, asking me to check the allocation dates… which i told her i already did and even though it says all applications are allocated i still have not been contacted by a case officer… and asked her about the two week contact period which they mention on the web site... She simply just told me to keep waiting and that the case officers were probably to busy but would eventually contact me when ever they get the chance... Still can't believe she did not even try to reach my file… you were right!! Unfortunate but true, there is nothing i can do but wait….

About form 80, could I do as following? - I print it out and complete it with my hand writing - Then scan it as a pdf file eg. form80.pdf. - I attach the form80.pdf file in a reply to the adelaid team. or I should send it (paper) as a mail to the adelaid office ? oh... and do I need to attach a photo on the form ? About PCC, could I scan it (if I understood it correctly, it should be color scan?) and send it as an attachment in a reply to the adelaid team ? About Medical exams, I understood the hospital will send it online to the adelaid team directly, am I correct ? Sorry for many questions above and I do Thank you so so much for any of your advices.

What I did for my submission following the instructions from CO in his email attachment: For all documents, scan in colour as PDFs and send them as email attachments. For emedicals, I PDF the emedical page as evidence that all the tests were completed. FORM 80: Handwritten and scan in colour as PDF. Did not see anything in FORM 80 requiring photos. Read the instructions carefully, I think they teach you the naming convention for attachments too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
