Hi Friends,

Just couple of minutes ago I got the telephonic verification from New Delhi, Mr. xxx was the caller and he asked some questions about application and then some technical questions every thing was ok but, that time I was on lunch and went to RTO to get it registered my cousin’s new two wheeler. I hope it will be OK. He asked for my boss’s mobile number then I provided it.

My absent on job, at the time of call, which way they will take it?

 

Can any one comment on it?

 

I am afraid & positive too.

did ur boss know about ur absence from ur work place? Did verification officer asked where are u now? As it was lunch do they allow u to do ur personal work ?

 

As in my case the verification was carried out after i left the job..so my boss clearly told them that i left the job some times ago and i also told them the same.

Hi Mahattaya,

 

Well, I think this is where it's been question for me as well. No one knows how they do the allocation really, I wish they have a better indication. Some in late 2008 and late 2009 seems to have CO, So one could take an educated guess that they may doing it in batches, and some batches got more applicants than other batch etc, so maybe the late 2007 early 2008 period got more applicants per day etc I'm sure you get what i'm trying to say and it's all just a guess so don't take it as facts.

 

Good luck

 

 

Cheers

hi,

 

I feel the allocations are being done according to the current requirement of ozz economy. the most required occupations and long pending applications(cat 3) are being processed. This is my assumption only, may not be factually correct.

cheers,

It would be interesting then to look at the occupations of those with COs and see if a pattern emerges.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for your response. I think the current SOL represents the needs for the Australian economy. If there was a processing arrangement with in that list for the occupations I'm sure the department would have informed that officially. I did asked this question from my agent and the answer was it'll be done according to date of lodgement. But if you happen to have any new information please do share with us here.

Thank you:spinny:
