Guest Me Gusta Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hi,Why Have they asked for a PCC from your home country and not JUST the AFP? Is it because you have traveled overseas or to your home country since the lodgement of your application? Have you provided any PCC from your home country to DIAC at time of lodging your application? I had previously asked my agent whether it was necessary for me to get a PCC from my home country; she has advised me not to do so unless I travel overseas or to my country! Hey, I have submitted a PPC at time of lodgement and I have been asked to do so again since its validity has lapsed. I'm not sure if this is mandatory for all or individual-specific , but as far as I'm aware, everyone I know has been asked to provide a PCC from their country (be it either a LR/HR country). So yea, it could be because you've lived in a country other than Aus for more than 12 months in the last 10 years as ChittyChargo mentioned:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pippa1 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I'm 15 dec 2008 886 applicant, not heard anything a couple of questions; has anyone got CO for 886 visa recently and any uk applicants asked for police check if already submitted one at time of lodgement and not left Au? Hoping things don't stop now, I have a bad feeling about it though ......maybe it's just me...even sent off for police checks again and they managed to overlook mine by mistake...the nightmare continues lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtual_bajwa Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Well just want to know that whether DIAC will start cat 5 offshore once all the case officers to be allocated to category 4 offshore or they will wait for their grants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a one of Cat 5 applicants now finding a new way to OZ. Do not worry. If all goes well, category 5 offshore will be processed in next few months. As thin gs are very fast for processing of caTEgory 4 offshore. By the way, what is your timeline? Actually Australia has already done that. You must have remembered cap and cease of Pre September 2007 applicants. Most of these guys have got their money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hery Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 My thoughts. Now is 1st of April. They have April, May and June to process as much cat5 and cat4 offshore as possible... But they are processing cat4 offshore pretty fast at the moment (maybe 2 months is all they need to finish them off). cat5 onshore I think is coming to a crawl now... hopefully the number of visas remaining is still plenty. Worst case scenario would be when there is still 2 months or a month to go for processing before 1st July and they have reach the cap limit. That would be terrible... I hope the grants keep on coming all the way to late June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I elodged a 175 visa application in Jan 2008, Certainly, I know what the Minister of DIAC Chris Evans did in Feb8,2010 and Canada did the same before. I felt angry about it which was not fair at all. It is ture that goes very fast for processing of cat 4 offshore, but as us know the new subclass 189&190 will replace the subclass175&176/885&886 in July2012, so in that case I cant help but to worry about that tonight would be the eve of a storm. God bless us Cat5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, DIAC has 2 choices,once all been allocated or NEVER. waiting for all grants? I am curious about what should the other officers do. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally you wont need a police check if you haven't left Au. But some CO ask for it, can't wait for tomorrow update, its gonna be disappointing for 886 and 885 applicants.

virtual_bajwa Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 You applied in 2007, how come you havent got a CO yet? My application falls in category 5 offshore,which is under suspension since last many year. Yes I did get the case officer in 2009, but my case officer was bit lazy in processing my application at that time, so my application put under suspension again.

I believe they stated this just in case they were not managing to process visas at the fast rate they are now doing. Anyway, this statement applies to ALL Cat 5's - and yet, they are processing onshores already. I believe come May we off-shores will hear something.

User Name Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Onshores get processed in Brisbane and the queue there is significantly smaller than offshore. Could be that Brisbane ones finished cat 4 and so are starting with cat 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers, toes and everything crossed.:cute:\ Actually, If we see it carefully, nothing is correct in this table. In case of category 4 they ARE saying that all the category 4 offshores will be processed in 18 months which is not correct according to this processing. They have already reached October 2011. So it means this service charter table is going to be changed in coming few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
