Rezasol 10 Posted February 23, 2013 aah.. crap.. I think I am in for a long haul (already 12 months to CO allocation, I am guessing its going to take more than 15 to 16 months now.. ) Accountant (General) Assessment: June 2011, DIAC: June 2011 (Form 80 and 1221 FL), CO: Feb 2012, FL Meds 20 Feb 2013, Meds Finalized 01 June 2013, PCC Call 21 June 2013, PCC Submitted 02 July, 2013, Visa Granted 09 July, 2013!! :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Player Posted February 23, 2013 Hello Friends! I want to share with you guys what I am seeing on my application's status page to seek your advice and experience on what you think. The page has been always the same ever since we have lodged our application. Except when the Meds/PCCs were requested. Soon after we uploaded the PCCs, PCC field was removed from the status page and Meds have been changed to "finalised". As per the CO's latest feedback last week; we are undergoing security check. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Engineers Australia +ve Assessment 18-06-2011 | IELTS 21-04-2012 | Application Lodged 31-05-2012 | CO Assigned 11-07-2012 | MEDs & PCCs 25-08-2012 | MEDs & PCCs Submitted 04-09-2012 | Security check is ongoing Nos and other senior members; why the security check is in progress even after finalization of medicals and Pcc?

thinktank 10 Posted February 23, 2013 Nos and other senior members; why the security check is in progress even after finalization of medicals and Pcc? This seems to be a very unique case! isnt it? Seems that he went on and did the medicals/PCC on his own (without receiving an official call from his CO) and front loaded or forwarded to DIAC. Now they have been finalised while he awaits for security checks. This is the reason they say wait for medical/PCC call as they have a validity of around 1 year and this effects the initial entry date on you visa. 175 Applied: 8th June 2012 | CO Allocated: 28th August 2012 | Additional Information Asked by Team 13: 6th August 2013 | Meds Finalised: 15th October 2013 | PCC Call: 21st November 2013 | PCC Submitted: 2nd December 2013 | Grant: 3rd December 2013 | Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash1981 10 Posted February 23, 2013 Ash, which visa class are you? Like we've said before, if this is the same SC as the ones we're experiencing, you could expect your application to be finalized later this year (4th Quarter) or even early next year.. Your PCC seems to be finalized and so are your medicals. I am applying for 175 Rezasol...

This is the reason they say wait for medical/PCC call as they have a validity of around 1 year and this effects the initial entry date on you visa. Although its not very common, but I have seen 2 cases on other forums, where applicant received Med/PCC call and afterwards the case underwent security checks. So its totally possible that SC starts after even getting med/pcc call from CO.

Nosferatu 13 Posted February 23, 2013 Nos and other senior members; why the security check is in progress even after finalization of medicals and Pcc? This seems to be a very unique case! isnt it? Actually, after 1st July 2012, few applicants reported that they received a requisition for PCC/Meds, immediately after CO allocation. After submitting their PCC/Med reports, they were notified that their SC were in progress. This case appears similar to me.

Umer Manzar 10 Posted February 25, 2013 I guess I was just lucky, may be! But they're making me pay now Dear Ash, It seems both our cases are very similar. We were also requested for Meds/PCC right after CO Allocation on 18-Aug-12 (Application: 17-May-12) and all these formalities were completed by 08-Dec-12 (Including 3 Months Meds finalisation). We contacted our CO after meds finalisation, only to hear that our SCs are still outstanding. One question that need to ask fellow members that I completed the character assesment form right after my application, including Form 80/1221. Can any one advise when the actual SC are started i.e. whether they start from Application date or after CO allocation date? 175 (Offshore - Online) : Lodged 18-May-12 :CO 17-Aug-12 : PCC 29-Aug-12: Medicals 30-Aug-12: Meds Ref 07-Sep-12: Meds Finalised 08-Dec-12: 2nd PCC & Medical Call (After SC Completion) 16-Dec-13: PCC Submitted 17-Dec-13: Medicals Received: 27-Dec-13 & 30-Dec-13: Meds Finalised 21-Jan-14: Visa Grant: 30-Jan-14:biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you check if your CO was changed? I only found out about this last week. To answer your question, I don't think DIAC/IGIS will do any processing before the CO is assigned. It makes sense you know. Seniors in this forum may could elaborate.. Wish you the best of luck!
