javi1979 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Sorry can't answer your q on SNOL but from what I can see the current wait time for a C/O seems to be within 3 weeks. Which is great for all who have lodged recently. Fingers crossed for you guys still waiting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wen66 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 how can i check the SNOL list? do the case officers get assigned by order of what skill shortage is in most demand? Here's the list: https://www.migration.sa.gov.au/SNOL_Data Hope it helps a little. As to what order, I have no idea. It seems very random to me.

MaternityRegistrar Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Hi everyone, New to POMSINOZ but I find this forum very informative.I have applied for visa 189 at 65 points.My case officer has just asked for 2 outstanding documents though I had already uploaded everything. 1)Work experience -I had already uploaded my work experience certificate which I obtained from Ministry of health Saudi Arabia in March 2010(when I came to Australia in June 2010),this categorically states my entire work period of 8 years.I also gave them the present work experience certificate which I obtained from HUNTER NEW ENGLAND Health service where I have worked since September 2011,now my CO officer is asking for payslips,income tax returns etc?? presumably from Both KSA and Australia.Australia I can provide but KSA after 3.5 yrs is going to be difficult. 2)Police clearance from Saudi Arabia and India(my country of origin)-In the last 10 yrs I have not stayed in India For more than 4 months cumulatively and to my knowledge Police clearance from there is needed only if I stayed there for a cumulative period of one year. It is already mentioned in the DIBP website that Saudi Arabia does not issue Police clearance certificates for foreign National not present in the country and I just have the Police clearance I had from Indian embassy in Riyadh when I came to Australia. Sorry for the long story but my question is how to explain all this to the case officer ? and how technical can these points be in view the proofs that I have already provided the CO.:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krishaze Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 we lodged our visa application 2 weeks ago still not heard anything not loaded any documents on as we thought you had to wait until case officer asked for documents…is this right? i know you can front load to speed it up though, hopefully hear something soon!!!

javi1979 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 how long did you have to wait for your medical? can you be in within a couple days? Depends who you see and how busy they are but usually need to book about a week ahead. Might be able to get in in a few days. Will also depend on how many of you there are in your family. The bigger the family the longer the appointment time they'll need to have space for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nursesam Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 No CO yet :-( but I read somewhere on the skill select page that the CO allocation time frame is up to 10 weeks for 189 visas. Still not long though and should get visas by end of feb :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRedpath Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 No, still no word from a CO but still very early. Im going to Australia on the 28th January so possibly going to have to do my medical in Sydney and go over on a working holiday visa or tourist visa until complete!

Watters31 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I just submitted my EOI with 60 points and hoping for invite on the next round in January. Nice to hear that people are getting invitations so quickly :-) Getting all the visa paper work now....can you get the medical/chest x-ray/police check done before you receive the invitation? I can't find the E-Visa 1393 form to download can anyone help? Has anyone been given any indication how long the visa takes to be granted if no complications arise??
