tayloal Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Case officer assigned today, Team 2 Adelaide. Unfortunately they have requested an Australian Police check (AFP). My agent has questioned this as i have only spent 8 weeks in Oz during the last 10 years and the stipulation for an AFP check is 12 months in Oz in the last 10 years !! Im hoping they have made a mistake because i have heard an AFP check can take up to 6 weeks even though they quote 15 days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayloal Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 VISA GRANTED TODAY !!! Such a surprise after them requesting an AFP check, they reviewed their request and granted the visa !!!!! Right now I've got a house to sell, viewing on Monday, fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dugles Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Still no sign of CO..Its been 59 Days since I have applied. Dear Gtaark, In this case you should make a call to DIAC . Be ready with your application details like TRN number, DOB, Client ID. They can confirm you your co details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaark Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hello Dugles, For some reason the call is not going thru. Is anyone experiencing this issue? I tried calling +61 1300 364 613. Is there any other number? Thanks. Dear Gtaark, In this case you should make a call to DIAC . Be ready with your application details like TRN number, DOB, Client ID.

gtaark Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Finally the call went thru and I was confirmed that I received a CO on May 31, however no official email was sent as CO only contacts the applicant when anything is needed. What a sigh of relief!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skellysgirl Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 lo..or sitting in the lovely botanical gardens picnicking and sipping some nice tea in Brissy.... Lucky buggers. Im a a timescale anyway, i cant go till june 2014, im not sure if thats worse. More time to plan but more time to stress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie2012 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Brissy is lovely, we loved it (and the Gold Coast of course). I think you better off than we are, because we want to go NOW or ASAP. I wouldn't stress if I was you since you know when you can go. And it is great that you were granted another 28 days extension. I wish we heard something back from our CO but.....what is really a killer is the wait and not knowing what happening, since we have submitted everything already.....

skellysgirl Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Where are you going maggie? when are you hoping to get there? I am off to ACT, we cant leave till the end of june next year, as we want our son to finish his gcse's. We were planning meds for around mid july, but we ended up going on holiday so they have had to be delayed a few weeks, till we can get more time off together, plus that allows us a month space after he finishes school next year, mainly for flight reasons, and i quite fancy the singapore stopover.

We are ACT as well, but a bit of afraid of the upcoming elections, jobs may be harder to find. We were told to avoid September as well, because of so many students arriving and in December-January everyone is on holidays. That is why we wanted to go ASAP and if we already had our visas, we'd be on a plane in a week or so :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vp3 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hi all, I am waiting for CO. One of the documents I need to submit is my wife's IELTS. However, she haven't taken the test and wants to have more time to prepare for it. From previous posts, it seems that once a CO is allocated, he will request me to submit outstanding documents in a certain period of time such as 28 days. If I ask for an extension of submitting my partner's IELTS, do you know if the CO will accept it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
