Guest indaussie Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hi everyone, I have a Good news to share with you. One of my friend who is in cat 5 has assigned a co on 27 jan. He lodged his 886 (COOK)relative sponser on 28/08/08. Co asked for proof of 900 hrs unpaid work experiece and how he supported himself during that period, but no medical or Pcc or form 80 asked. May be co want to check his work experience first to make sure it's not fake(bogus). Anyways it's good news for cat 5 that they r processing cat5 very fast. and co is from team 31. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest indaussie Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 hi indaussie,can you please ask ur friend ;how he is going to prove unpaid work experience.As i am also in same boat. thankyou very much. Hi motika, if your work experience is unpaid , you can prove it by submitting following documents -- .1. Detailed work references showing duties and duration of employment, to be signed by yourmanager; 2. Time sheets or logbook entries . Co also asked asked him to show, how he supported himself during that period ? To prove this he can get a declaration (letter) from his sponser ( his uncle), thT he supported him financial. Hope this help. If you need any further info, just ask. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently they are processing PG5 online applications lodged up to 1 August 2008. Although the DIAC website shows they are processing August ones, our office has received request e-mails from case officer for applications lodged in December 2008, so those who lodge application around this time may want to start preparing further documents to submit. Even though you may think you have provided all the required documents, case officer may still ask for additional documents. For most of the applications, since it must have been more than 1 year since the application was lodged, case officer will request new police checks (from AFP and overseas) and medical check as they are valid only for 1 year. You can always wait until your case officer requests you in writing but you can also start preparing these documents (only if they are expired), so that the processing goes smoothly after a case officer is allocated and starts checking all your documents.

sammann Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Guys Is it still possible that you get a Case Officer allocated while you are overseas. I am a feb 2009 onshore applicant and going overseas next month. Judging the processing speed of DIAC , I think they will reach feb in about March en & I won't be back in Australia until May end.Any suggestions are welcome!

Dhawan Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I applied as a Cook on 3rd Oct 2008..... Still waiting for a CO to be allocated ...Have heard CO's being allocated to applicants who lodged in Dec 2008 !! Anyone knows when will early Oct'08 applicants be contacted? Thanks. I think you should wait for a month , You will definately get in next 15 days, The thing is that the files are being distributed to the CO and they are opening it as it comes, because my batch mate got a letter from CO that his application is being allocated to him(CO) and he will send him an email once he starts processing it. He mentioned it in the email that he will start processing it in next 14 days , and he applied on 28 SEPT 2008. So that means they have allocated files upto dec 2008 but some case officer might have other application to process before they open his/yours.. Example: Its like 25 files have been distributed to a single case officer for a month and he will open yours once he is finished with the previous one.. Thats why processing chart on DIAC website shows the difference between the files allocated to the news we get from some of our friends here in this blog.!! Its shows 18 august but as we heard here that dec 2008 has also been allocated so it depends upon individual speed/ case load of that particular CO.

Judging the processing speed of DIAC , I think they will reach feb in about March en & I won't be back in Australia until May end.Any suggestions are welcome! Yes it is 100% possible that your application been allocated to CO even if you are in overseas. He can open it and ask for further documents that needs to be submitted within 28 days. I would recommend to you . 1. If you have an Migration agent, You should tel him that you are going overseas tell him the dates. 2. Give him your contact number: couple of numbers from your good friends who are in Australia. 3. Give him you Overseas Number atleast 2. 4. Update him your email address. 5. Take agents 2/3 Numbers with you and contact him Once a week. 5. Get your TRN number if its lodged online, Check on IMMIGRATION site regularly, "when it says email sent to you" that means you/your agent has been contacted with CO. ( Sometimes its good not to believe on agents too) If you don't have agent, Check your emails daily while you are overseas. Inbox and Junk/spam too. Rest Enjoy our holidays !
