Swamps Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Has anyone other than piyuyawa got a CO allocated yet? Not yet, but mine was only actually lodged on 2nd April, so too early for one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor30 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Not sure, agent hasn't said anything about been assigned a case officer do they normally tell you does anyone know ? I don't know, I would guess that would depend on the agent. I can only assume that once a CO is assigned, if like me you aren't using an agent, that you get emailed.

gtaylor30 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Good luck everyone, I'm guessing things might go slower over Easter with the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh we will have no idea unless case officer wants more info or we get a direct grant I spose then, :-/ bored of waiting already, I'd just like to know what's happening!

I know exactly what you mean. When PIO did that web chat thingy last week or whenever it was, I asked the migration agent what the process is. They told me that communication is entirely dependent on the particular agent in question, i.e. some contact you, some don't etc., some will happily email, some won't, I guess that makes sense.

benm Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hi gtaylor30, Do you have any communications from DIBP, I too have a timeline similar to you, and am figuring a CO allocation by around 30 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi benm. I've had no communication to date whatsoever. I am trying to be patient, knowing that it's Easter, school holidays, and there's even a public holiday there on Friday. So, there's a fair chance things could be a week or two behind. Just surmising things really. I had hoped to have had contact by now, as tomorrow marks it being over a month for me, but it isn't to be it seems. Still, a week or two won't make any difference in the grand scheme of things.

Still, a week or two won't make any difference in the grand scheme of things. I am also waiting for quite sometime now. I submitted my application on 18-March and also front loaded all the documents. No CO contact yet. I have been active on other forums as well and saw a few grants coming in in last 2 days. But it seems to be a bit slow since last week. I think that the holidays might be one of the reasons. i will wait for another 2-3 weeks before i give DIBP a call as it will be 8-9 weeks by then.

gtaylor30 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 So, the only real success story for March has been piyuyawa, who I believe got the invite late Feb and applied early March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam24banda Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 It seems i am not the only one inconvenienced by the Easter break, uploaded the document requseted by CO on 18/4 which has been received but not heard any more from CO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrohit Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Can you remember what their signatures where like when they were lodged? Ya Most of them have lodged their application between 24 Feb to 14 March. I lodged mine on 18th March and I haven't seen any grant yet for anyone who applied after 18 March. Though many of the people who applied after e have got CO allocated and CO has requested them for Medicals, PCC etc. which in my case is not needed as I front loaded all my documents. Also last 2 weeks have had a few holidays which might have slowed down the process. 189 | 263111 | IELTS: 12/10/13, All : 7+ | ACS Submitted: 12/11/13, Result: +ve 07/02/14 | EOI (60 Points): 14/02/14 | Invite: 24/02/14 | Visa Lodged: 18/03/14 | PCC: 21/03/14 | Medicals: 22/03/14 | All Docs Front Loaded: 01/04/14 | CO Allocated: | Grant: PR4Oz.com = Step-Wise INFO on Migrating to Australia.

I will keep my eye out for your grant post, were not far behind you, we lodged ours 26th of march, & have medicals and police clearance uploaded also, only thing we haven't is the new form 80 case officers seem to be asking for as out agent said we not too until asked & he'd have to do it as he's acting on our behalf, but we do have them filled out if needed!

Very Informative Site. I'm personally thinking that there's a chance we do have CO's allocated, but as it appears all documents are front loaded, then they may be assessing everything. There might be no need to actually contact us in these circumstances, so it may be that we either get a direct grant, or asked for something further later, once all the documents have been checked and so on. I will keep my eye out for your grant post, were not far behind you, we lodged ours 26th of march, & have medicals and police clearance uploaded also, only thing we haven't is the new form 80 case officers seem to be asking for as out agent said we not too until asked & he'd have to do it as he's acting on our behalf, but we do have them filled out if needed! It's annoying waiting I must admit, I'd personally (as I have) want to front load form 80. I'm sure I've read several times that if it's requested, they can take a couple of weeks checking it out, so it's better to front load it if you have a mind to do it anyway. I ummed and ahhed about trying to get away with not doing it at all, but decided to go for it as at least it was some positive action I could be taking rather than sitting on my thumbs waiting.

So, yes, hoping for a direct grant, but I'd rather they let you know whether it's even being looked at at all or still in someone's pile as they depart for a month's holiday to Bora Bora.

robrohit Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Amen to that Ya let's hope things move fast. I would also recommend Form 80 submission as I believe it is needed for most of the countries. No harm in providing information upfront as it builds up trust with CO if you are ready to share the information without request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
