Guest alfredv Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hi Katerina, am glad you have been appointed a CO. That makes me feel so much better that things are going ahead at Melb. I still havent yet received a CO despite having submitted a DRC nomination in July 2011. My Migration agent is following up with DIAC every week but they dont seem to respond to her emails. So frustrating! I dont know whether to wait for the nomination to be approved and submit a DRC application OR submit a non DRC application and wait... I have put this question across to the migration agent. Hope to get a reply from her soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to get a reply from her soon Thanks alfredv, I am not sure if we have CO yet, the supervisor said it will be with CO this week but god knows .., it only happened because my husband's employer got fed up and demanded some REAL answers , so fingers crossed. I am just so sorry we didn't lodge it DRC :-( too late now i really hope you get some answers soon, can only imagine how stressed you must be, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katerina Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yesterday afternoon we received notice from our CO that our RSMS application has been approved! What a relief! We did a 457 and 857 back to back. The amount of paperwork and cost has been daunting. The CO was strict but fair and always replied to our emails. This was a non-DRC application submitted with the nomination 20 Oct. Made a request to have application expediated due to hardship. Finally granted after second request. Very unfortunate with last outstanding document, a police clearance certificate. First the South African police clearance was not applicable, then the Queensland police clearance not admissable, then the Australian Federal Police police clearance certificate got "lost" in the post, it was posted again and it turned out it was the wrong code 30 instead of code 33 (AFP admitted it was their mistake) and finally the CO got it yesterday! Hang in - be patient and persevere. Opinions and emotions aside, strictly facts and proof thereof! Great news CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katerina Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks for your quick reply! I have 4 weeks until i have been in my job 6 months. I didn't send a DRC (wish I had now) but i have submitted medicals, form 80 and police checks with my application. I should deff wait a week at least. Really its only my employer who needs the process to move before the 6 months, I am happy to take unpaid leave or even work unpaid.. I guess the main thing i worry about is having to leave because my partner is here, we have been together over a year and a half but as he lives 100ks from the nearset town so i moved away to get work, so i'm not sure how we would go with the defacto thingy and he can't move anywhere as he has a farm to run!Ah well... honestly it really helps just being able to write stuff down and talk to people in the same situation that understand the stress. I am usually so relaxed but this is really really stressful! Keep us posted! I know what you mean about the DRC BLB I am mad at myself for not doing that!!:mad: Too late now, we just have to be patient , my 3 year old asks me every day when are we going to Oz and his favourite bedtime book is Australia travel guide! Good luck :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Soooo stressed and fed up:( Hi Katerina, I have now been assigned my case officer, CO sent an e-mail to my employer saying that the nomination had been approved and had sent me an e-mail asking for some more information...had already sent police checks before (but sent originals, because i thought you had to) Fortunatly had certified copies of originals done, so i guess i will just send them again... Timeline so far is as follows - RCB Approval (late August) Acknowledgement of Visa application 6th September, CO assigned 28th February (could have been earlier but e-mail sent to wrong address), Request for more information 28th Feb.... have that on hand to send today so hopefully not too long to wait!!!

Judging by what I've read on here once our applications are with a CO it shouldn't be that much longer to wait until we get a decision. Is it just me though or do the days seem to be getting longer the further along you get?! I was officially offered my job back in October 2010, it took nearly a year of going back and forth to Aus just to get the application ready to be lodged. Its such a long and mentally draining process isn't it?! Thank god we only have to do this once. I hope getting citizenship isn't this bad! :err: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
