New Category 5's - Where are you now?

[vandm]

Nov 3rd 2008 475 FS HR Cat5 Applicant heading for melbourne.

 

and thats my 100th post!!!!!!!

[Roper]

Don't bother calling these uninformed/ill-informed dumb operators! In a same day I tested it by calling 3 times at different time-points n the answers were out of this world. Though there are some who are helpful in terms of info they provide but most of the times it is a waste of time n effort, n demoralising. So just ignore them and rather focus on these forum updates or allocation table updates which are more real-time n accurate...........

 

You're spot on Josh78. Most of these operators seem to be clueless about the inner workings of DIAC processing centers. Three days prior to getting my PR, I called DIAC and was told that it is unlikely that anymore P5, 885 applications will be processed this financial year. Yet three days later, I got an email from a Team 08 CO requesting medicals and the PCCs and I was granted my PR in less than 3 hours of the submission of those documents. I was so tempted to call DIAC again and tell the operator to "go suck on that".

What the F**k DIAC is doing.......??? I lodged my application on-line back on 11 May 2009, haven't heard anything from them. Yet my friend's

brother who applied on-line (FS 886) on September 2009 has been granted his PR on January 2013. Go to hell DIAC............

I applied in Mar 2008 (176-FS, 2299-79), not a word from DIAC!! And the weird thing is that I am still hoping!! :cry:

Hi Roper , who is the CO that you got assigned if I may ask?

I had a team 8 co allocated as well, but am still waiting for a response.

 

thanks

Hello,

His first name was Robert (can't divulge the last name for obvious reasons). Team 08 used to be the fastest CO team at DIAC handling mainly LR applications. However things seem to have changed lately.

very uplifting to hear from u.as u say the operator really sucked.after waiting for 35 minutes in the queue it cant be more deflating than when the person on the other end of the line just asks what cat u r and immediately says that its not possible this year. i then asked him whether he wants my case id or file number in order to check anyway.he said no. i had to insist atleast 2/3 times before he noted it down and then parroted immediately within a few seconds the same old answer(impossible he could checked my file so fast). i asked him if there is any chance of increasing the places from 4200 for FS, as they did last yr and he was again at it blurting out the usual answer. thanks roper, ur case proves what dumb nuts these operators can be.

These "operators" are actually the front desk staff at the processing centre on Curry street in Adelaide (Been there so I know). Since they are not the case officers who handle the applications, they won't be able to tell the callers anything accurate without actually looking things up on their system, for which they need the caller's file ID. Unfortunately it seems that most of these "operators" are reluctant or too lazy to do that and don't even bother asking the callers for their file ID. They just blurt out something and try to end the calls as quickly as possible. So don't be disheartened by what just one of those so called operators told you.
