Guest LB2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hi. We are still waiting for a case officer. Received email from WA on 25/05/11 that they sent ss confirmation. Anyone else waiting who lodged about the same time? Regaqrds, Michelle Hi Michelle, We lodged on the 25th and only got a case officer today. We called the DIAC last thursday as we were worried as some people who had lodged on or after the 25th had a co and they said that it was in the que and it was another 1-2 week wait. Might be worth giving them a call if it puts your mind at rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PerthHopeful Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Fingers crossed for a case officer for you... This waiting is terrible isn't it? My nerves... A year from now, we will all be in Australia, and will think back and wonder why we were panicing so much :-) Never had to deal with anything as nerve-wrecking as this....:eek: Our PCCs from South Africa have still not arrived - it has now been 4 weeks, and I believe it will take another 4 weeks :-( - positive thinking...

Hope you get a CO sooooooon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest annerichard Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Got the magical call from our agent today. We have our visa!! Can't believe it! Kindly turn up PURPLE!!!! Yippee!!! That means when we enter Oz next Tuesday it will be on our 176 visa so we won't need to leave for it to be granted now! One less thing to worry about!! Good luck everyone, they seem to be processing so quickly at the moment so hopefully it won't be long. Emma CONGRATULATIONS you guys, please let us all know how it goes i am so pleased for you well done Anne and Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pedley that's what our medical centre said too but I rang our agent and she said as long as we lodged online and have correct med forms if you are on line this should have an EH before or after the number on the top right hand side of the forms, keeping my fingers crossed for you xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jo, got a very speedy response/email this morning from our case officer which states: "It appears that you may not have downloaded the Health forms from your E-Application which can affect the ability for your eHealth provider to access your information. Please follow the prompts on the following page: https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/inquiry/query/query.do?action=eVisa Once inside this page you can select the "Document Checklist" hyperlink and this will take you to the page where you can download your medical forms. After a short wait you should then be able to contact your E-health provider and your details should be available. I came home this evening and I downloaded and printed the forms for each of us to take with us on Monday. So I will give Edinburgh a call tomorrow and find out if that is us now on the system. Hope this helps. Gillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a nightmare Jo, hopefully by emailing ehealth that should clarify things. Let us know how you get on. I will call Edinburgh tomorrow and if I can get onto PIO during work time (they don't know about OZ yet) I'll let you know. Good luck, Gillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our application has just changed to being processed further and they are asking for evidence of specific work experience! Is this common? Anyone else in the same boat? I see that some of you guys aren't using an agent did you upload this info as part of your application or do you wait until someone requests it?

I posted some payslips to my agent last week.. He already has 3 references with more info than you can shake a stick at and a stat declaration that must be 3 pages long- to be honest I don't what more I could possible add!!! Alls good though that's what the agent gets paid for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did yesterday to check my WA SS had got to them and got this email a little while ago - may be worth firing an email off too !? Dear Client, Thank you for your email in relation to your visa application under Australia's General Skilled Migration program. Systems records show that the WA State Sponsorship form was received and approved by the department on 11/06/2011. Your application has been assigned to a case officer and a preliminary assessment will be conducted on your visa application to determine if any further documentation is required. Once this assessment has been completed your case officer may contact you if they require any additional documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
