steely Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Just seen on the google spreadsheet that someone who lodged on 6th July got a direct grant today. Could that mean that next week we will see a few more grants for the July group? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...=sharing#gid=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulou Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi we are a family of 4 heading to mandurah also waiting for co submitted July 18th this waiting sucks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasvik86 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I submitted my application and paid the fees on August 10th. How long does it take to have a CO assigned in general? Also i declared my parents as those who will NOT accompany me, still why do they ask for their PCC and medicals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prasvik86 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Captain, how are you? I dont think a CO has been assigned as yet. No mail as such. But i see the place for me to upload the documents, so was confused. Also when does a CO come in? I also see form 1221, is that required?

Sarahb1986 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Did you wait until you were asked to do your medicals and police checks? X No, we did our Medicals on the 8th August but have only just done the police checks today. They did advise not to do Medicals until a case officer had been assigned as it is only valid for a year, but we knew we were wanting to be out there by Nov. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanlisa Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 We've already done ours, no case officer yet and we applied just over 6 weeks ago. We want to be there by November x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pommie Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hey guys - I have seen the first peson from July get a direct visa grant (on the VISA spreadsheet). Has anyone from PIO's July submission received a grant ?? Also - I second the question above, how do you know if you have had a CO assigned ?? All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainC Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hey guys - I have seen the first peson from July get a direct visa grant (on the VISA spreadsheet). Has anyone from PIO's July submission received a grant ?? Also - I second the question above, how do you know if you have had a CO assigned ?? All the best The only indications that your application is allocated is if you get asked for additional info or you get a grant. The allocation table on the border website is a load of nonsense because it's way behind the reality. If you see on the spreadsheet that someone has been asked for some further info (with the exception of Russian citizens & some other HR applicants) or have had visas granted, and they are either after your application date or close to it, then you can safely assume that your application has been allocated.

Pommie Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hey CaptainC I've seen a few posts where people are commenting on uploading a form 1221 as well as a form 80. Looking at the form (see link below), it strikes me as very similar to a form 80. I am not sure why it is required - any ideas ?? http://www.border.gov.au/Forms/Documents/1221.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
