Guest Orion25 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 ACT ppl are the best in terms of responding emails and sending form 1100 to DIAC. they even send you parcel pack at your home address containing helpful material which will assists you to plan your trip. they also promised to be ready receive you when their sponsored land in canberra. i am also their nominee. and waiting for DIAC to allocate me CO since June 14, 2011. regards SJS Have you checked your online tracking lately? When they start processing your app (CO) there will be a 3rd line in the top section stating Application being processed further, then you will know you have a CO. They were takin on average 2 weeks to appoint CO's, seems it might have changed? Good luck. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T thankyou for guidance, however i applied as paper application i had 150 pages (support documents) to send which were difficult to scan so i used paper application method, and in this senario i got FRN and not TRN which can be traceable vis online system. in my case i sent one email to DIAC via using PLE system and i received email that, "my concerns were forwarded my case officer for action" regards SJS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Breezer Hey Breezer, DIac took a while they received our meds and finalised my whole families except mine, and just left them outstanding for over a week and then suddenly they finalised mine, from the date we sent our meds it took DIAC 2 weeks to do anything, so hang in there, apparrently they are extremely busy and the medicals are taking a bit longer at the moment, friends of ours are also waiting. I know we get so tired of waiting during this whole process but believe me it is worth it.:biggrin: Hang in there and try not to let this wait consume you, as it will drive you batty :wacko: T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
