Our date is getting closer and I'm trying not to get excited about it - fingers crossed Julie and Tien :chatterbox:Hot on your heels Amanda!! Hi I think the processing date is moving fairly swiftly because IMMI are just sending out letters to ask everyone to do meds, police and AOS. I believe that they usually give 28 days for applicants to arrange this. At some point everything is going to grind to a halt when everyone returns their docs and the actual processing takes place. Anyway for now I'm really thrilled with the progress! Will be checking the Test email tonight, fingers crossed for Amanda JB maybe next week!

daveedley Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 For those of you who have obtained visas recently, were you able to get the letter allowing you to process your AOS before you had your CO appointed? Given that Centrelink can be slow in processing the AOS it would be very helpful if this were possible Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that Centrelink can be slow in processing the AOS it would be very helpful if this were possible Thanks Dave I know a number of people who are getting close their CO allocation dates have asked and been given the AOS letter, although some have had to ask on more than one occasion. I guess if you are close to your allocation date it's always worth sending off an email, worst they can do is say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaJB Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 For those of you who have obtained visas recently, were you able to get the letter allowing you to process your AOS before you had your CO appointed? Given that Centrelink can be slow in processing the AOS it would be very helpful if this were possible Thanks Dave Hi Dave, I am still waiting for a CO. I asked after receiving my HAP ID in early May whether we could have the AOS letter and was advised it was too early and to ask again end of June. I then contacted them end of June and received a reply advising that they were unable to provide it as it would then be double processing of applications for them and they also apologised. From what I understand, those who lodged before June 2014 were luckier in getting the info upfront. Hopefully I will have a CO very soon! When did you lodge?

When you do hear can you let us know if they request Form 80 please. It's Sunday night in Oz now and I can't wait for the week to progress towards you getting a CO.

AmandaJB Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I just sent the TEST e-mail and was pretty excited to get the auto response as it means there's been an update, but it says 11 June 2014 again?? "We are currently assessing applications lodged up to and including 11 June 2014. Please note that due to a very high number of 173 and 143 applications received in June 2014, the assessment date is expected to change at a much slower pace than usual. We appreciate your patience and your understanding." I am certain it was 13 June last week, I'm disappointed to see a backward step (??), we are used to the slow movement of dates, but this is new..... :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tien Duong Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I think the strike only happened at big cities airports. Lets hope it was just a mistake in the email and the dates will move this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amanda Hi Amanda just got another response to the test email and as at 16.30 Melbourne time on Wednesday they are now assessing 12th June! They must have missed a drawer full of 143 files, at least it's going in the right direction again.... They are definitely playing mind games with us.

ljwalvin Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hi guys, My mum applied for a 143 on 9th July 2014 but she has been visiting me for the past few years. (ie she comes on an eta 601-I think) She visits me for 3 months or so and returns home for a few weeks and comes back again. I was wondering if anyone could advise on whether she needs a police check for her stay here. Also, if she does, where do I go to apply for it? Sorry it's been a very long time since I applied for my visa and I cant remember how I did it! Also, I did have a look and I saw one from the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and it also says that a 100 point check is required. She thinks she has misplaced her passport and can't find it. If the passport was well and truly missing, would she be able to use her birth certificate (foreign, but in English) to make up the 100 point check? She is able to get a travel document to return home but I have spoken to the embassy and they said it is too late to request for a passport to be sent out to her in Aus as she is due to depart on the 10th Sept! Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
