hmsmark Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 My guess is between 25 to 30 June....There are some guys in http://beupdate.co.uk/visa.php?month=Jun&year=2011 , who are still waiting for case officer. dates are 25 to 30 June 2011. And some of them are of pakistani origin. So be careful before asuming anything. I think it's too early to see July on the table. It will be june in this update.... But still fingers are crossed .. You never know which way things will turn. Beupdate is notoriously bad when it comes to updates. People get exceited when they apply, so they post there, and then forget about it when they get a CO almost a year later. If you go to Feburary 2011, for instance, you will notice there are several people who have not reported COs, but they are almost certainly Cat 4s going by their jobs. There is even one that looks to be a Cat 3 had no CO, and he/she probably got allocated a month or two after applying. Hopefully we are well into July...

hmsmark Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 So here's a question I will ask my CO when they contact me (I just have ABPF). When I was first applying, I did not read DIAC's warning about a memory limit on uploading documents. I'm a teacher, not an IT guy. So I don't really see much difference between 90 kilobites and 9000 kilobites So, when I scanned the docs, I left the resolution on photo quality and basically created really big files. They are beautiful, high-res scans, but apparently very big. Especially my color, anti-forgery paper, uni transcripts... REALLY big files. As I was uploading, DIAC told me that i had gone over the memory limits. I got most of the required files in, but some I had to email. DIAC doesn't let you go back and erase the files you have uploaded (otherwise I would have erased the big files and scanned them with lower resolution to be much smaller). I sent the un-uploaded files to the required email address and never heard anything. They never showed up on the document list, so I sent them again a month later. I got a confirmation email that they had been received, but they still never appeard in the doc list. So..., hopefully they have them, right? I won't have my application rejected because they never got the required work expereince docs, will I? If they don't have them, they will ask for them and not reject me out of hand, right? Hopefully.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poeribbo Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 29/03/12 ABPF No contact yet, but a good sign that someone is looking at the application... Hopefully should have some movement soon!

Poeribbo Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 hey guys, just one quick question if someone has time to reply.. I'm a June (21st),2011 applicant, all documents were submitted (PCCs & Medicals), ABPF since February 29th,2012, still not a single word from a CO and tomorrow will bring a new update.. so, my question is - do you think will I be contacted by CO soon?! If the update moves for just one day it would still mean that I was contacted by CO - but till now, I wasn't, nor our agent.. If no one contacts us till tomorrow late morning, should we contact DIAC? I'm not sure if this makes any scence, but I couldn't find here (PIO) if someone was in the similar situation as we are.. Thank you!! :wubclub: yes us and mattster155 are in a similar situation! we have both been ABPF for a while - i think they are working on us from " behind the scenes" so to speak - they will contact us when they need more info! According to what others have suggested to me on here (hi rocking adi!) its down to the CO and how they operate whether they mark "required" items as "met" and as and when they contact you if they need more info! all the best!

My CEO was contacted by them one week ago, they said they just wanted to check if I still work there and that's all.. Regarding to the status of uploaded documents, our agent told us that too. Some people even get grant letter and their documents still are shown as required. I hope to hear from CO soon, it's like I'm programmed to wake up in 3 or 4 am (european time) to check my emails to see if someone contacted us.. Crazy time while in this waiting room, can't get no sleep.. :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambos Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Just wanted to throw out a question. We have been contacted by our CO on 13/3 and have been asked to provide evidence of work experience (already submitted anyway) and PCC and medicals. We are waiting on the Co to come back to us re: work experience before we go for medicals but so far have heard nothing further. Has anyone else been asked to provide all this together? I would have thought that they would check out work stuff and then ask us to go for medicals as they have asked that everything is submitted in 28 days. Please help.:mad::confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camilla222 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hmsmark, Same happened to me. I lodged the applaication in November. And I found myself in the same situation, so I sent every file I could not upload by post Then I received an email from DIAC: "We have received your application for a General Skilled Migration visa Skilled - (VE 175) Independent on 21 November 2011 Our records show that you have made an online application on 11 November 2011 for the same visa subclass. Please confirm if the application you sent in by post were paper documents to be attached to your online lodged visa application OR if you were making a new visa application via post." I replied to confirm it was the same online lodged visa application. Keep me informed about your situation too plz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NatsB Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Jambos, I think you have to get it all done and submitted in the 28 days, especially as they asked for all three. I don't think they come back to you in interim stages. Are you worried they won't approve your experience and don't want to waste money on the meds just in case?

I would book meds and send them an e-mail with details of dates and location of medical examination(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks we have booked meds for 5/4 and let our agent know and just received back PCC but we would really like to know that everything else has been checked and OK. We just wondered if this was the usual way of requesting info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just wondered if this was the usual way of requesting info. I think that DIAC are flat out at the moment and are minimising contact with applicants. From what I can tell you have complied with their instructions which is all you can do for now. Are you happy with the employment evidence you submitted? Could there be anything ambiguous? If not then relax and submit your meds and PCCs when complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NatsB Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Jambos, our work experience is showing as received, whereas everything else (except pcc and meds and updated passports) is showing as 'met'. We were only asked for the meds, passports and pcc though, not for any further work experience. Just in case, I have submitted updated payslips and 9 yrs of p60 forms and our new passposts. Dispite this, nothing on my status has changed, but I don't feel I can chase them up on this until I have submitted the pcc and meds (also on the 5th!). Once those are in then I will send an email to make sure they have everything they need (and get them to look through it all again) I suspect that they wait to get all outstanding documents before reopening our applications - would be very ineffective if they kept going back to applications over and over again when they can just do it in one go when they have everything they need. Hope that reassures you a bit! Nats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NatsB Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Regarding PCC's.. Did anyone use the 10 working day service (hahaha.. Damn cheek... Just call it two weeks!)? I was wondering if the 10days is a worst case scenario, or if they tend to take this long regardless. Not really important... But I'm curious!

rahulpatel1969 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Very optimistic Rahul... I hope this comes true. But I do think so.. Because in coming few weeeks there will be easter holidays.. so there will be no work. You know what there were approximately between 23-25 CO grants in March in forums we both follow for updates. Now add the same number for April and you will see they finish of cat 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've applied for PCCs (they take around 6 weeks here in South Africa) and I'll book the medicals when we get back from holiday (we're going away until after Easter). DIAC - you guys rock! Thanks!!!
