lsh Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Which ACT'ers got SS last year? We got ss in Nov 09. It seems that applicants who applied and got ss this year for the ACT are getting CO's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that applicants who applied and got ss this year for the ACT are getting CO's? I applied in August 09, so I think I'm probably one of the older applicants, I applied just before the dreaded changes last September! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the coyne family Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 woohoo Connie, turn us PINK Got email from CO in the early hours, after seeing the aspc email yesterday saying they were processing apps before 1 May 2010 we were very surprised to get CO today. Best thing as well is they have given us to 15 March 2011 to get our meds & PCC done because they already know that I am pregnant, which is a big relief. Hope all ACT SMP'ers get to hear the good news today too. Claire:biggrin: Congratulations Claire I'm trilled for you, god when i think of the day we submitted, the panic and stress. 2011 will be a good year !!

clickettuk Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hi, Impatient as ever, I phone DIAC at 4am this morning to get confirmation I was in Cat 2. I also asked how long it was likely to take to get a CO. He checked on the system and told me I already had a CO but they hadn't done the preliminary checks on our documentation yet. He said we'd get an email from our CO very soon. Almost ready to be turned PINK, but not quite. Will let you all know when I get a formal email from my CO. :tongue::laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are using an agent ourselves, so not really sure if I should phone DIAC myself to ask? I'm so impatient as well. and am sure we all are. I'm just waiting daily to hear from our agent for any news............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just waiting daily to hear from our agent for any news............. Hi, I'm using an agent, but having chatted to another guy on PomsInOz, he said it was fine to phone DIAC yourself. They will ask for your TRN, name and date of birth. The number is 00 61 1300 364 613. I tried contacting DIAC via a PLE once, but they would only communicate in writing via my agent, but like I said, by phone they are happy to talk. I was on hold for about 15 minutes, but was well worth the wait. Great news to cheer up a very early Monday morning! :wideeyed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maria.x That was a truly stressful day, i really did think though that we had at least a 12 - 18 month wait ahead before getting a CO. 2011 is going to be a good and very very busy year!!
