Vanduex Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I lodged on 31 Dec and received my CO today Great news. Congratulations!! Hope it all goes through well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betterskierthanthewife Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Great news. Congratulations!! Hope it all goes through well. Cheers, fingers crossed. Did the medicals on Tuesday which seemed to go fine. The CO has asked for the medicals, police certificates and for us to fill out form 80 - just started it and it seems a bit of a ball breaker.

When did you lodge ur apps? Or maybe create a signature so can always tell the timeline... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 by the way keep an eye out for emails, i didnt see anything on the immi account but had email from co so keep checking your emails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betterskierthanthewife Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 What's form 80? it forms part of the character assessment. I'm not sure if they ask everyone to do it but its a 20 page form to capture personal details of you, your family, parents, and siblings, your education and emplyment history etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda21 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 What is the best way to pay the fees? I need to send 600 AUD for my skills test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanduex Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Linda - My fees were 550. Exchange rate is good right now so get it done as quick as you can. I think I paid via debit card. Worked for me. Shazza, I am using an agent, I will assume that he is watching his emails like a hawk. I applied 5 days after you so we will see what the next week brings. My fingers are defo crossed!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolbreeze Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Wow, Shazza, you haven't had to wait long at all for CO. It's making a lot of January lodgers excited, I'm sure. Hope medical goes well. Keep us all posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chami Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 HI Guys, I applied on 4th of january and no email from CO!!! Am worried! :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolbreeze Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 HI Guys, I applied on 4th of january and no email from CO!!! Am worried! :-( Chami, immi do say up to 10 weeks for CO appointment. Most people are saying they are getting them between 6 - 8 weeks. You won't have to wait too long, i'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanduex Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Still early days yet Chaim. No panic for a while I reckon :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chami Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I hope so! I am getting slightly anxious. I have uploaded everything, except form 80. I am nto sure if I need to. Waiting....It is strange how many British are waiting to migrate to auz- yet we complain about immigrants to the UK haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrh2802 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi Chami...please dont worry about CO allocation. Ours took about a month, some take longer. I think its the workload that they have. Good luck to all! c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wen66 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Yeah I am . I was gonna front load but spoke to agent and he seemed reluctant. As it happens I have already done my police check as I needed it for QCT registration. That came back yesterday. Will order others this week I think. Then When CO is assigned I will book the meds. Just hope it is the 3-6 week window for the CO!! Some are quicker and some are slower can;t predict Hi Vandeux, did your agent say why he was reluctant, re meds etc before CO? Cheers.:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanduex Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Nah he didn't. I was trying to extend the date of entry initially and maybe that is one reason he was stalling. When I get the CO I will put it all through then. No problems. Hoping that I can have them done during half term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read so many threads where people have done them as soon as they have lodged their visas. I couldn't get my head around waiting for the CO. We waited so long for the invite..10 weeks!..., I can't cope with even more delays. We want to (fingers crossed) move in September/October time this year.
