Jambos Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hi Folks,After waiting for more than 6 months... I got CO on 06/01/2012. Bharat, Can you please turn me PINK???? Well done Shrikant great news! Also good news that the CO allocation has re-started. I suspect June will take that much longer due to the shear number of applicants. I would imagine it will take aleast until the end of Jan-12. Good luck everyone for next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SHRIKANT Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hi Bharat, Thanks for your wishes! Yeah, I front loaded everything and the email sent by them must have my agent's inbox. I tried to call her but could not got hold of her yet. BTW, my daughter's name has been added in my application status now, she was born the day after I lodged my application ie. 22 Jun. So I filled in the change of circumstances form. And one more thing I noticed is that self, wife and daughter had Med tests together..So , Health requirements were finalized for me and wife in Nov 2011 but it shows Health requirements outstanding for my daughter. I do not know how long will take to update ?? Or the Med results of my daughter is misplaced ??? Let s see how it goes.. I am sure all the remaining June applicants would get the CO next week and you are the first to one to get one ,Bharat!! All the best everyone! Cheeers, Shrikant Huge congratulations mate....well done I just checked mine online and no change but as Mummy Mann says we can't be far away now....hopefully some time next week.

Guest SHRIKANT Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Folks, Finally I got hold of my Agent and she replied back. She received an email from CO (Team2) and DIAC has requested to provide PCC of self and wife + IELTS TRN no. for secondary applicant (my wife) coz it was not legible to verify. I think my agent did not upload the PCC which I sent to her in last week of December!! anyways.. Let 's see how we get on with this! I do not know why I am worried/tensed for unknown reasons... All the best to everyone for the CO allocation and Visa grants.. Cheers, Shrikant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll on Monday morning :0D Good luck for those waiting a case officer/visa. Let's hope they are back up to speed this week x I suspect that with Christmas and New Year's Day, there were a lot of people at DIAC who took extended holidays over that time (as people do in many offices throughout the western world), and they might now be returning to the office this Monday. Hopefully we will see them allocate the rest of June over the next couple of weeks and move onto those of us waiting for July to come up!

twister292 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 My status now shows "application being processed further"...DIAC lady on the phone told me my application is allocated to a CO team already, and it will narrow down to a single CO once the current bunch already with that team is cleared out. She won't tell me which team the CO is going to be from though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol2Oz Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 wow, congrats to everyone who has a CO now. Question - did anyone notice if the DIAC usually processes 10 days of applications in 14 days? I know it sounds confusing, but in other words, the last priority list that was updated on December 23rd shows the following table: They have processed 10 days of applicatins for priority 4 since 23rd December. A jump from May 5 to May 15. Is this the norm? Applicants who lodged a GSM application before the following dates have been contacted by a case officer.
