Nicole Eire Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Update: We have everything completed and submitted. Just waiting for the request for 2nd VAC. 15th February immi acknowledged receipt of the AoS approval from Centrelink, we've heard nothing since. We know we have a case officer, she has been in contact. How long have others waited for the 2nd VAC request? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you usually get a case officer after AOS approval I think 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you have to do Aus Police Check? Not sure about CO, is one allocated when formal request for docs sent out ? we had to do Aus police checks because we had been in Australia longer than 1 year ( cumulatively in the past 10 years ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieRoo Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 12 hours ago, ant111 said: I asked this too but got no reply. My app was 6/2/15 btw applied at Centrelink for AOS 20/11/17 , no telephone interview to date. We’ve called them . They say we’ll treat it as urgent but no reply then too. SIXTEEN weeks today since app. ??? THREE years 5 weeks since acknowledgement. Something is not right here and you can see other applicants around your lodgement date have already been processed. If I were in your situation I would on the phone to Centrelink every day. Or better still, get your sponsor to call in person and just keep pushing. It's now painfully clear Centrelink is in a big mess and you can't take anything for granted. Unfortunate you need to take action and keep calling until they do something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same things been going though. It's been nearly 11 weeks of my AoS. My sister visited Centrelink Rockdale Branch Twice Last week and Rang up in the noon But they are chanting only ' We have already sent reminder mail u gotta wait'.

You can see their name and position number at the end of the email. Usually they'll give you 28 days to submit extra documents and second VAC will be requested after that. Good luck to all of us.

Hi Tina Currently, there is a rumor that most of full applications (including AOS completed) will not be granted until 36 months up. I am not sure whether it is the case but really hard to see any early settlement happening ATM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Eire Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 @TinaH - I've noticed on your signature that your AoS approval letter was January! Have you heard nothing since then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you hear the rumor? If March applicants still didn't hear anything from DIBP then I don't think we will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
