roxybird79 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Hi, I applied on 28th, but no CO yet. Will update you will all info when i do. How long have you has a CO assigned? Hopefully im not far away now We applied on the same day , hubby contacted our (his) agent today , she said due to large numbers we will probably be looking at 11 week wait not 8 before we get C/O as thought .... Feeling frustrated !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling frustrated !! Not more waiting.... I'm just hoping to get a co, so they can ask me for something. All that time doing stuff to get the applications in kept me busy. Now there is nothing for me to do other than wait...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling frustrated !! Thanks for the info Roxybird, shame its not more positive tho, its quite depressing actually. I know another 3 weeks is nothing really but when your life's on hold it can feel like a long time, and its 3 more weeks to CO, then how long to grant depends on lots of things. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakaal Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Brilliant news Lakaal. Congratulations and good luck with your new life down under. Thanks at least you know now yours is more than likely allocated to case officer. Fingers crossed direct grant for you.

I wasn't claiming any employment points think that is why mine was probably so quick. Will look forward to hearing your news:) Thanks Lakaal, I think your right, it seems they do have a back log especially considering they're in doing overtime and clearing the easy applications is a good way to get the pile of applications down. I don't think they will have as many Sept applicants with the fees having gone up so hopefully they will get thru to ours and the other Aug applicants that are waiting soon. Ive settled knowing its going to be another couple of weeks at least. I have a feeling for the 12th November as a lot of things seem to happen for us on that date.

james007 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Congratulations! Anyone had any good news today? I noticed on another forum (expatforum), a member who applied on 30th of Aug received direct grant today.... Having said that, some members who applied before that date are still waiting. I guess each case is different but at least it means we can expect some news any day now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w1johnston Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Nothing for us either. Our Pcc's are still showing as "required" so I think we still dont have a CO yet. Really wish i could put this to the back of my mind but it seems to be all i think about at the min :frown:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNC FABS Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Checked with agent today, still no case officer. Getting near the 9 week mark.:unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1johnston Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Any good news today? I couldn't log onto evisa this morning so thought maybe a CO was on the case. Sadly not, I can log on again and nothing's changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly not, I can log on again and nothing's changed. I have not heard anything either. Looking at this link from another forum: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnFxtUP9PR4edFgzODdGMHBoeXNIdEN2aXA0eU9XaUE&usp=sharing#gid=0 Most people have been allocated a CO or granted a visa for type 189 upto 26th Aug. Someone also has a direct grant who applied on the 30 Aug. Another day tomorrow, another chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james007 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hey guys. AMAZING news this morning!!!! I GOT MY GRANT 9 weeks to the day I applied. Speechless. I hope the rest of the August members get their grant soon. CO did not ask for further info. DIRECT GRANT. I would just like to say thanks to my agent John Adams from Immigration2Oz. Himself and his team, Kate, Tiffany etc were amazing throughout the whole process. Going out tonight with family to celebrate for a nice meal and champagne X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
