Guest hellorajshahi Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Here is the response of my friend with the exact dates of his time line: Assuming that his case was forwarded to ASIO somewhere in April (after sending form 80), it means that ASIO took 13 months to clear his case. And yes musmanasghar both were CSL applicants. Good thing is that there is movement and may be ASIO will improve the pace now since there will be less load on them due to less referrals from DIAC. But we all who had COs before May 2011 would be referred to ASIO. Dear I got my co 8th june 2011, i am september 2010 applicant , HR country profession Engineer. Now my online status is that ------ All met except overseas panel clearness certificate is RECEIVED and for medical x ray and blood is RECEIVED. but in my first page itz shows that my medical is finalised on 31.05.2011. My question is - ok , for pcc it will go for external check, but my medical is still show received in document check list , why dont it met ? caz in front page it shows medical is finalised on 31.05.2011. My agent informed that CO told about my visa time line This application will now undergo routine additional checks including security assessment by an External Agency. "This may take several months to complete and I am unable to finalise until the assessment is completed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Name Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 There is a good chance you may bypass the security check given you got CO like a week ago and your document status changed. Normally COs dont touch it until security checks are complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Name Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Not just lodged in early 2010 but also they got CO after couple of months it means they were CSL applicants .... Yes but I dont think CSL is the factor for them getting processed. It makes sense starting the backlog with oldest first. Those 2 applications are quite old, though I've heard of 20 month old applications. Those should get processed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Yury Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hi, I'm another HR applicant, Subclass 176, Victorian SMP, country of origin - Belarus, occupation - Physicist. CO assigned Nov 2010. Forms 80 & 1221 requested and, as my CO put it, "actioned" (which I suppose means referred to ASIO) mid-December 2010. Initial IGIS request in January resulted in generic response, but File Reference is from 2010, hopefully meaning that ASIO received and acknowledged the case. Subsequent requests were ignored, until the latest, end of May. IGIS declined to contact ASIO at this stage, but said if there are no developments by July I can contact them again. July would mark about 8 months of ASIO checks. It appears that for my fellow Belarusians who went through the process in last 5 years CO to grant took 6 to 9 months, and seems like we all referred to ASIO. I hope that IGIS estimate of July means that 8 months is an upper limit for normal checks for Belarus. I'll keep this thread informed of my progress. If there are more Belarus applicants reading this - please share your timelines! Cheers, and good luck to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yury Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 @User Name: You should be fine. its only applicant from Muslim countries that go through this security checks. Thanks, mate! But it is definitely not only Muslim countries. I think we're in HR list as a post-Soviet state - "evil empire", ghost of "cold war" and whatnot... Anyways, we'll see how it goes.

Guest nadeem Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hi, Received following reply from case officer aginst application status queury. Dear Sir, I am writing to you in regard to the above Skilled Migration application to Australia and your enquiry of the status of your visa application. We are undertaking routine document checks. Some checks are undertaken directly from this office, some by posts, some by other agencies acting on our behalf. As soon as we have the results we will continue processing your application and provide requests for further information. It is difficult to say exactly how long the check will take as there are many variables. I can confirm and assure you that I am following up on the status of your application on a regular basis. At this time, a general estimate of the timeframe for resolution of the routine checking would be a further 6 - 12 months. You will be contacted if we require additional information to process your application. We appreciate your patience in this matter.

Guest frustrate Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Guys, let me share the most exciting news for me for the last couple of years (since lodgement)....I got medical/PCC mail from CO today. Though it does not say that checks are over but I hope they're. This helps me to believe that even for those applicants who are caught in long security checks, ASIO will reduce the checks and definitely it'll result in quick processing. So keep your hopes high, you'll get good news very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let me tell you upfront that if your meds are referred to HOC then they also take around 1-2 months to finalize. But even then you have very little time remaining to be in Oz.
