the_whites Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 We have a case officer!!! Finally got one on Tuesday afternoon (13 Dec) BUT.....she is requesting information that as already been supplied. Application was submitted with original Aus police checks, certified copies of UK ones and photographs but they want all this again. Trouble is, we now don't have the originals of the Aus police checks, just a photocopy. Does this mean we have to apply for them again? Have called the CO but no response, have sent a fax requesting a call but no response, have spoken to a guy at DIAC who has emailed, but no response. Form 80 filled in and ready to go, so close but not there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I filled in a new form, sent it off with a money order for $43 to AFP and stuck a note on it that it was urgently required for PR approval. The AFP were great and completed the check on the day they received it. I had it sent directly to my CO who received it less than a week after I applied for the new police check. Hope this helps and congrats on the CO!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_whites Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hi The WhitesFantastic news as your nomination was lodged a week before mine. Keep us posted to how you get on Regards Mike Having a bit of a mare with it currently. Trekked down to the DIAC dept today and dropped off Form 80 along with new photographs but it seems they have lost our Australian Police Checks!! So hopefully they will accept the copies. Getting in touch with the Case Officer has been like pulling teeth. Doesn't reply to fax, email or phone call and not at her desk today. Will let you know how we go as soon as we get any news.

I hope things improve for you as it's the last thing you need being so close to the Christmas break. I'm sure they will accept the copies especially if they have admitted that they have lost them. I suspect mine will be issued to a case officer post Christmas as everything seems to be slowing down. Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vikas Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 hi CO will send u or ur RMA (if u hav one) pre grant letter and ask you travel within 28days.and make sure you tell your CO ur travel dates by sending him itinerary.Have you already planned to go somewhere ? if not i recommend u to go to fiji (if u can go to NZ without applying a visa then go to NZ) its easy and low airfare as well.about visa evidencing i know fiji immigration doesnt need visa label on your passport you can fly next day for australia but make sure u hav grant letter with u(not pre grant letter).normally it take only one day for CO to issue grant letter but always have spare time if something happen let me know if you wanna ask anything about fiji or NZ (my friend went to NZ) things you need to take care when he/she send you pre grant letter 1) dont change your departure dates when u hav already informed your CO about it,u can change arrival dates 2) when you send itinerary to CO ask for confirmation from him/her so you know he/she has noted down 3) do some research about the high commission you going to sometime they closed for holiday(just in case u lost ur documents ,passport) \ gud luck.ur visa wil not be far away,i got my visa same day about 2hours after my nomination approved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scottmeister007 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The first part of our visa (employers nomination) has been approved. How long should we have to wait before a case officer is assigned? We sent off all our details for our part of the visa (121) in October. What sort of time scale should we now be looking at to completion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Saray Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hi All...I am new to this forum. My agent has lodged my ENS decision ready application on dec 1st and received the ackn for nomination and visa on dec 5th. I have sent an email to DIAC on 19th Dec regarding the CO allocation. I got reply yesterday which is 20th Dec syaing that Co has been allocated and my application is processing. Usually how many days does it take for the case finalisation once the CO is allocated. thanks in advance. Saray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jnrrazz Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Sorry if I am repeating the question here but what is a Form 80 and does everyone need it. I am currently on a 457 and my company is sponsoring me for my 856. Applied in Sept 4th with Nom and App together. I have provided police checks and medicals but yet to be allocated a CO. Can anyone offer advice as to any more forms info that is required. (I know that the CO may ask for more info), I meant anything other than the medicals and police checks that they will definately require. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
