They are usually pretty quick. I confirmed my sponsorship and VIC sent form 1100 to the DIAC the very next day and I received a confirmation-eMail. The CO was then assigned within a week. Keep in mind that the Aussies had some days off till yesterday and might have a bit of a backlog. I'd write another mail tomorrow reuqesting the status.

Nothing much I guess except for the standard reply saying my file has been updated with the certification I sent in on Apr 22nd, the day they closed for Easter early.

 

armandra!

Hi Armandra,

By any chance did you get your ACS assessment or is this certification for some thing else ...

Am still awaiting for my ACS assessment - been a little more than a month since my application was set to In Progress along with an officer being assigned to it ...

Soumya,

 

You serious? I mean me getting my ACS assessment :laugh:

 

The certification is a MCP I did 2 weeks ago and just thought of sending it across to Vic (I know it wouldn't probably make hell of a difference with the Industry Panel, but just did it anyway).

 

Yep, my status too says "In Process" like forever with some name along with it.

 

Shhhhhhhhhhhh! I've a secret to share!! Let's keep it hush hush!! :wink:

The names we see on the status page as "Managed By" aren't surprise surprise the real assessors who decide if the app is in or not. That is done by external assessors who aren't employed by ACS. Awesome, right?? :cute:

 

Ssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! PIO has ears toooooo!!!! :wink:

 

armandra!

Hey Robyn,

 

sorry for not giving you the full details. Please check the very first page of this thread for the details of all our applicants. It gives a good overview of the processing times, grant/refusal rates and what is going on in Victoria. Just let me know when you need more info.

 

Have a nice evening

RedPri - In My case they took just 2 hrs to reply saying they have sent the Form1100 to DIAC

 

Dear XXXXXX,

 

Thank you for informing us of the visa application reference number. We have notified The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) Skilled Processing Centre of our state nomination by sending the Form 1100.

 

The sponsorship has now been validated and remains open until you receive an outcome on the visa application.

 

Ensure that you let us know the outcome of the visa application, as per the Victorian Government sponsorship declaration provided at the time of application.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

Please quote Reference Number : SS-XXXX -XXXXXin all of your communication to us

JSHAN:smile:

April is ending, and new waiting is starting. There were no days in the past like these days that I waited so much. No matter what result it will be, this is always an important period in my life.

my agent told me that we should apply for the 175 if we dont hear anything by tomorrow...would that be a wise thing to do? I think its being a little hasty

Why 175?

I suppose even if Victoria gives an approval, say, in July, an applicant can immediately lodge 176 application (according to new point test, of course).

Though there WERE days in the past when I was waiting even longer, none of them were so a nervous waiting. I consider these days as the key period of all my life. It's a point-blank question now.

Hey RPR,

 

is your application online-lodged? If so, then just log on here next week, click "document checklist" and check if the state-sponsor point has changed to "met". According to an official DIAC-information COs should be assigned to cat2 applicants within a weeks time at the moment.

I would wait for 10 days atleat before contacting the DIAC as they are sayin that within a week of your form 1100 they have to allocate a CO .. I will contact them mid next week as my Form 1100 was sent on 21st April...

 

 

I would say you contact around 7-8 may for your CO allocation and also ask for Form 1100 receival... if all is good within a day am expecting a pre grant letter.
