Mizzmp Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hi Tarchik, Luckly ol you! We just had a load of things attached to the CO's email like "request for detailed information" along with the meds/police check reqs. Timeline wise: VETASSESS practical Feb 2011 WA SS approved after 4 weeks, applied 176 VISA online 15.05.11, got CO today 08.06.11. All been quicker than expected although still a way to go with all the extra paperwork! they want a current work ref but he wil prob be sacked if he asked. Stuck!

Seems your things are moving pretty quickly. Good luck with the remaining steps.

cjdrum Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Mizz - write a stat dec about why you can't get a reference and supply as much alternative support as you can (payslips/contracts etc). DIAC understand that references aren't always a possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hrimmer3011 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Does anyone have any idea how long it takes to get a CO- our agent uploaded our documents on the 17.05 Thanks Hi, we uploaded docs and lodged on 18th May and got a case officer on 27th May, so pretty super quick, I would imagine any time now for you to get a C/O :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEDLEY Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Thank you. Yes hopefully not too long now.:biggrin::biggrin:I only attached our medical booking receipts last night so don't know if that prompted them or if it was our time (date order) for allocation. You are a week behind our lodgement date so hopefully not too long for yourself, keep us posted. Gillian Hi Lexylou, Congrats on the CO! We are checking our emails every day hoping to find that we have been allocated one!! We have uploaded all our docs but I see you have uploaded medical receipts?? Have you had your meds done yet? We have ours booked for the 23rd just wondering what these receipts are, do you get them once youve had your meds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
