Sol2Oz Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yes, same question I want to ask you.. Gosh... ideally, when I see my ABPF, I'd like to check and see that everything has been changed to "met". I reallyyyy hope that happens to me!! :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambos Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Just a quick update on our situation: We still havent received any communication from DIAC after changing to ABFP on Feb 24th ie No email from CO to our agent or us. We called the DIAC this morning to enquire how our case is going, the advisor on the other end confirmed that we HAVE been assigned a case officer around a month ago, our application is currently going through " routine checks" and we can be "rest assured" that our application is currently being worked on. Reassuring to know but still so frustrating!!!!!!!:wacko: The wait continues............................... Very frustrating. Have you been for medicals or are you waiting for your CO to request them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloomberg Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Just curious, does everything show as "met" for either one of you? Our medicals show ''finalised'' on 29/02/12 and PCCs are not shown at all.. not sure if it's something that we need to worry about but I was told that untill CO verifies that everything is ok it will show as ''required'' but sometimes even when people get their visa some documents still show as ''required''.. I guess it depends from CO to CO.. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends from CO to CO.. What do you guys think? Well, PCC's are easy - you either have them or you don't. The hardest parts I would assume are medicals and "further work experience required" - I think that's where many people have a valid point in getting anxious. Do all your other categories show as "met"? Looking at your timeline, I see that the time between your ABPF and today is very long! I doubt you're getting security checks since you've already been asked for medicals, so I wonder why you haven't gotten the grant yet. I hear that the longest wait now is not necessarily waiting for a CO but getting the actual grant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear that the longest wait now is not necessarily waiting for a CO but getting the actual grant! we frontloaded both PCCs and medicals and someone called my boss to check if I'm still working in that company.. so I guess, like Poerribo, we do have a CO but I guess he (CO) didn't need any other documents since we FL everything.. At least I hope so but this waiting is killing us.. and we cannot just call DIAC and ask why isn't anyone contacting us. Or can we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloomberg Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Bloomberg, maybe you should ask them. well we contacted our agent and he told us there's nothing he can do (we asked him to contact DIAC) so not quite sure if we're allowed to contact DIAC given that we specified in our online application that all contact should go through our agent.. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My medical is showing as finalised but my husbands and daughters are showing as required. Everything else is showing as required on the second page as well. So I think it is an individual thing with co's. :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the "Contact The Department" link once you have entered your information here, https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/inquiry/query/query.do?action=eVisa Or if you need to telephone them you can contact them via here, http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/overseas/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
