Guest jaffas1 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Sorry Clerk85, Didnt get time this morning before I had to rush off to work, my status has been changed to ABPF, but my agent has rxed an e-mail from a CO:biggrin: Congratulations!

Poeribbo Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 6 days since status changed to ABPF and still no email from CO or my agent...... Same here, our status changed on 24/02/12 to ABPF. We havent received any email and as far as we are aware neither has our agent (he said he would inform us). As I mentioned on here a couple of days ago, there has been some 'behind the scenes' stuff happening or at least someone has taken the time to look at our application - my employer had a call from someone at DIAC verifying my duties etc..... so its not much but at least its something......?

Guest sadupops Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Does this mean I have been allocated a CO but they do not require any additional information hence the reason i have not heard from the yet? :twitcy::skeptical: "Dear Client, Thank you for your email in relation to your visa application under Australia's General Skilled Migration program. Once allocated a case officer you will be contacted if they require any additional information. I refer you to the following website to find the answer to your question re your occupation. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/sol/ Yours sincerely, J.

Guest The6OfUs Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Has anyone else had to provide additional proof of work experience as requested by their case officer?......And is this this a standard thing or is it just us!!!! :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The6OfUs Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Guys I can really appreciate the tension and stress everyone must go through when they finally hit the "final" waiting room!!!!!!

Guest muirzoid Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 We've not been asked for work experience, we have only been asked for medicals, police checks and form 80. But thats not say that they won't ask for anything else. When i checked application online everything says met, so i have my fingers crossed that they don't require anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zippie Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Congrats! As per spreadsheet you have already front loaded everything including medicals & pcc. What else asked to you from CO? Hi clerk85 Interestingly we were only asked for police checks which I thought I'd already uploaded - obviously I hadn't done it right!! I emailed them off this morning so fingers crossed they will be happy now :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hurls10802 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hi Muirzoid, I teach PE, over the years I have also had the opportunity to teach ICT, Geography, History, RE and a few other subjects. I am currently head of PE so just specialising in that. both my wife and I teach. We both recently handed in our resignations so we can head out to Oz in Sept. our lives are crazy here. The work/family life balance is way out . I only get to see my kids about 15% of my normal school day. Thankfully my wife is a superstar and puts up with me. however the whole idea of Oz for us is to cut back and for at least one of us to spend more time with our 3 kids. I really hope I can secure a job teaching because I love it, but am not convinced I will get a PE job. I am petrified in one way, giving up a very good position and doing well, for the possibility of a better life down under. I've always been safe and sensible, but this feels so right moving to Oz. If it all goes well- Excellent, if it backfires, we can always hold our heads high and say we gave it a good shot. As the say fortune favours the brave. best of luck to you and yours in your application and plans for a new life down under. Damo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hurls10802 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Congrats! Did you frontload/ get asked for the Form80? We didn't.. So just wondering if it's not required by everyone? Nats Double checked everything, the email just asks for police check and medicals. The attached documents do not mention form 80, and just looked at our application status - it says everything is met apart from medicals - so no mention of form 80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmsmark Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 While I'm happy for all the people who got their COs over the past week, it makes me worried/sad. I'm seeing August and September applicants getting COs and my 13 July application is still collecting dust! Ah well, I've been on these threads long enough to know this happens. Hopefully I'll be pink soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
