Guest mpogr Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hi Chris and welcome to the forum! I just wonder, what occupation code did you applly udner? Cause I reckon Software Tester is not on the new SOL, so you must have applied under a different code or get VIC state sponsorship. Any clarification would be appreciated.

Hi, Quick check on my application, I actually applied as "Software Engineer". Though "Software Tester" does appear on the SOL list 2B & 2C!?

Hmmm, well, I've applied as "Software Engineer", which, with a quick look at the immi website is definately on the list (phew!). So my information therefore is as follows...

VenkatSiri Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 DIAC never called up my current employer. Though my CO had asked for salary slips and Taxation documents. Hey IronMan2 , just saw ur timelines :-) they are almost same as mine.. My timeline is listed below.. DIAC asked me for re-assesment and ACS gave me new code as 261313 on jun 2011.. ( Unfortunately it took 8 months for processing ) so i submitted my results on 20 JUN 2011 to the department.. havent heard anything from then.. My Q : when did you submitted your NEW ANZSCO code to department ? Howmany days later did you hear some news of ack from them ? Just wondering how much time it takes to get CO assigned fromt the day we submit that ACS code ?? I have not heard anything from them and so waiting for some news.. !!!

Guest DCAL Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Great information.. !!! what does this week processing mean? My application is dated 23 Jun 2009 ( i submitted re-assesmetn results on 20 JUN 2011) .. still not picked up.. .. It works out the DIAC average from past performance. The only downside is that DIAC had an immense peek in May which totally throws the numbers out. I have run (haven't published this one) it based on what they have done in the past 3 updates from June and someone who applied in April this year can expect to get a CO in December this year. Based on your situation if you resubmitted results in June this year, you can expect to have a CO by Jan/Feb next year if they go from your resubmitted dates, though I don't think they do so your should probably raise a PLE to check, unless someone else on here can comment. On the Weeks Processing - This simple means that on average they are processing this amount of applications every month, EG: moving forward...

IronMan2 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Dear PIOs members, I have been saving my final (800th) post for this very special moment. That’s why I have not posted on here for quite a while. I would like to advise you that my 175 visa was granted this morning. I would like to say special thanks to Mizo, Proview, Zoranl (the most positive poster here), rebejes3, Manj , User Name, shirazem, RegDwight, Mirob , SkyRocket and many many others. RegDwight and Mirob could you guys let other 2231-79 Computing Professional (ICT Recent Graduate) mob know that finally I got my PR today. :notworthy: As I promised you earlier, I am now in a position to post my full timeline. Name: MOTO Date of Visa Application: 18 August 2010 Nationality: Citizen of EU - Greek Trade/Profession: Accountant (General) Visa Type: 175 Post 14 July 2010: Cat 3 I received March 18th email. Meds submitted: 18 August 2010 Police check submitted: 18 August 2010 Date CO assigned: Unknown Date Visa Granted: 5 July 2011 One more thing, I never submitted nor I was asked for form 80. I guess it just indicates that the Department was fully satisfied with everything that I provided it with. I would like to say big thank you to all of the PIOs and say this: POMSINOZ is simply the best migration forum on the net. As I mentioned earlier, it is my last post on here. I wish that everyone will get their golden ticket soon. :hug: Special thanks goes to Connie for updating our thread. You are an absolute champion mate. :notworthy: Almost forgot, Connie please turn me purple. :biggrin: Kind regards, MOTO Many many congrats...i am happy for you...
