Guest waitingtogotooz Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Wow! You applied on jan 2011 and got the march letter! That sure gives me hopes. Well, i havent heard of any 2011 app 175 getting CO, except for this guy from india that applied on march 2011 and got CO on july, got it from the website "update", link on the first page of this thread. But I still think it was a typo and meant 2010 hey no we applied Feb11 & got the letter, i heard some March applicants also got the letter. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest waitingtogotooz Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Hi waitingtogotooz, Not in Oz yet,still in South Africa. We applied for 175 in March '2011 but have decided to do medicals (even though we don't have CO yet) end Sept. Our agent advised us to book our medicals for around that time. I know a lot of people disagree on this but we are willing to take the risk of doing it before we have C.O because I'm trying to stay positive and just believe that we'll have visa before Sept 2012 when medicals expire. Thats also why I was trying to figure out how expensive medicals are in other countries because I'm sure that must have some kind of influence on the decision to do it before C.O asks for it. Converted to pounds,we pay about 340pounds for family of 4 in S.A. Have you decided yet if you're going to do medicals 3 Sept? A Hi, no havent decided what to do yet. I think we may put them back a couple of months, maybe Dec now as that way when we move our children can start school at the beginning of a new school year over there. also it gives us time to put our house on the market and sell up, move in with my parents and save. Unless we get a CO before then we will have to do the medicals in the 28 days they give us. ps - family of 5 cost us £945 :mask: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bj27 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 hey no we applied Feb11 & got the letter, i heard some March applicants also got the letter. xx we are feb11 applicants, did not get the 18March email.... :sad: on the other hand... , if we had, we'd probably be even more impatient by now so maybe it is a good thing we didn't get it :cute: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj27 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Just got a message back from our agent. He told us last May that, considering the speed at that time, there was a possibility for us to have a CO by September. Not any more: " The ASPC has been delayed, but is still assigning VE-175 applications to Case Officers, so there is progress. On the other hand, expecting a CO in September 2011 would not be realistic any more, in your case. " o well... October would be nice?

For example, if you're February 2011 applicant, you should have a CO in February 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj27 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 You have no idea how lucky you are... I cancelled all my plans after receiving that e-mail that I wish I had never received it. yes, that's what I meant. Seriously. I can see how unsettling it is when you get such a promise within days after applying, and then not to hear anything for over 5 months :-(.

I have cancelled our medicals. no, we did not get the March 18th email. I have no idea what would be realistic. Probably for us (feb2011) somewhere between Oct2011-Feb2012..... however http://skilledmigration.govspace.gov.au/ it says that they will process cat5 this financial year, which means (I think) they will do cat4 first.
