Guest AAAZR Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Nah it wont, just gives additional options... I also think that what makes your case different is the fact that you received the 18 March email,so its understandable to wonder when you'll get C.O. I'm also wondering how its possible that applicants from 2008 still don't have CO's yet...I guess theres no such word as "fair" in DIAC's vocabulary.:unsure: A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also wondering how its possible that applicants from 2008 still don't have CO's yet...I guess theres no such word as "fair" in DIAC's vocabulary.:unsure: A Haha agree with you on that, no one knows how DIAC works. Just all of the sudden I got that march-18 letter promising something that they could not meet at the end. Why send the letter then right? It made many to frontload their medicals and caused backlog there as well. Some even booked tickets and made plans. Other like me started looking for job n now stuck with no visa.:arghh: Btw, just to share from other forum, Feb-11 175-applicant got a straight visa grant.

Guest amer Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Yes I am, I was moved from Cat 4 to new cat 4:biggrin: Hmm no wonder they skipped you last time around. It shouldnt be long now considering you should be ahead of the new Cat4 queue now. Have you tried calling them? I know there was 1 case where they accidentally missed out on an applicant, when he called to enquire they highlighted his case and he got CO n grant soon after.

I have an agent who has sent a PLE on our behalf so just waiting on that, so far I don't think any of us that moved from the old cat 4 to the new cat 4 have got a co as yet but a few of the old cat 4's have phoned DIAC and have been told that they should get a co soon!!! so I am back to checking my emails through the night on my phone:wacko: and trying to be patient :twitcy: Tania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lori2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 i think ninja got the ninja treatment at diac if we follow his history. what do you mean? He got his visa in less than 6 months!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnAnton Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 what do you mean? He got his visa in less than 6 months!!! I think he is a lucky one who called diac regularly and got to spoke to a kind operator that helped him. He is lucky If you call DIAC now, they will give your standard replies so there is very little chance to get lucky like him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
