Guest jen1977 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Richard you won't actually know when you are assigned a CO, nothing is said about it. We received an email end of July saying that we were about to receive a CO and to complete everything. As you are just under 3 months behind my FIL I would say that you are due to receive this letter shortly. I would organise (if you haven't already) your AOS, police check and medical and make sure you have completed the form 80. If you have done all that you are saving a lot of time. We didn't heard anything again until the 2nd VAC was asked for. Once this was paid the visa is issued. I know it is a frustrating wait and you do clutch at any information that might mean you are getting a little bit closer to the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Heaps excited ) Rich hiI see on your timeline that you still have your AOS to do ,or have you done it and not updated the timeline Am asking because Centrelink offices in some cities are notoriously slow in processing them !!

richardcoull Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Hey barry Now we have to wait for the case officer before getting our aos processed, so yeah, its still pending. Centerlink processing is same in every state, it takes 2 days (interview,deposit and approval) to process an aos. What take time is the queue we are in! If im supposed to apply for aos in the next few days and people already got their appointments for that period, its gonna take me a month to get through.

Rich HiHere in Perth it took 3 to 4 weeks just last July for ours to be processed In our acknowledgement letter they stated that we could apply for AOS 12 months after lodgement Cheers Barry Edited October 31, 2014 by Barry001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jen1977 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Richard I can guarantee you that is does not take 2 days to process the AOS. We lodged the paperwork and then it took over a week to get called up for the phone interview. If that is ok they send you out a letter requesting the bond. Then you lodge the bond and then you have to take the bond paperwork back into centrelink where it is sent to the AOS department and it takes another day for it to be lodged with immigration. For us the process was quite drawn out and it is what took the longest. Edited October 31, 2014 by jen1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgeman Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 It does depend on where your Assurer lives as to how long the AOS process takes. Different states/places seem to process at different rates. In our case it took 10 weeks in Queensland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our case it took 10 weeks in Queensland. Yes, ours dragged on and on in the Brisbane area. We had to ask our CO for more time - which they were ok about. Oh the irony! 2 years down the line and we're still stuck in the UK trying to sell this bl***y house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmandaJB Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Hi, We lodged off shore. Our 143 (offshore) was lodged 18 June 2014 and we've not received formal acknowledgement yet, only the initial e-mail with receipt, at end of August 2014. I hope ours comes through this week. I wonder how this works then, if not in order of lodgement date. Lucky you Tony :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliew1499 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Hi Amanda Just got the test email back from WA parents, they are currently acknowledging applications lodged on 8th May 2014 so I have no idea how Tony received his acknowledgement!

joop Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hey guys, Thank you for the very helpful thread. My mom's lodgement date is April 30th 2014, for 143 offshore. But we have not yet got any acknowledgment, has this happened to anyone, although the automatic email says they are acknowledging 12the of May?

Catlady2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 My lodgement date was 24th September 2014. The first fee has just been taken, so presumably something will happen soon, but there has been no formal acknowledgment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
