Guest Lori2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 omg our case officer has just rang my OH's boss asking questions. sh*tting it lol We are applying as a Carpenter but my OH does many other (supervisor etc) duties. I think i may pass out That is exactly what worries me, we all work in our claimed profession, however, many of us have extra duties, it worries me Diac wont like it. As an engineer, my work is technical, but I have project management duties included in my job. I think Diac has been making more job verifications than usual, so dont forget to let your bosses know what you are up to, otherwise, they might get surprised and might not know you specific details in the moment, as your entry date, years working there, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suandianbrown Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 All our docs are showing as met except our Meds.. I guess whatever we sent with our original application was evidence enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that although they have my new employment details on form 1022 for change of circumstances it will be my previous employers they will verify with as they are the ones who would count for my work experience requirements.

Bpremji Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I would think it may be the embassy in London who do the checks as your right, it would be late evening or the middle of the night over in OZ When did they ring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayzlet Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 When did they ring? Just so I know roughly how long they take to update online So they called on Friday and it was updated online today... so they updated it really quickly!

Guest waitingtogotooz Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hmmmm not sure it was lunchtime so would have been 9pm over there unless they take cases home to ring? Could have been over here x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lori2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Today im having a bad day, and on top of it, a visitor at my work place critizes my shoes openly! I wanted to shout "this is a factory girl! I wont be working in my stilettos" anyway, the only thing that could make this day better is having some news for my app, come on Diac, it is your chance for your good deed of the day!!!!

anlopa Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Help hold on......... I don't fancy them phoning the morons that I work for. 3 years i've kept this quite. oh well what will be will be, suppose they are gonna find out one day it might as well come from the horses mouth. Need a couple of more weekends overtime though. I'll prob end up with a warning for wanting to better my self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck too :biggrin: Yeah we have been waiting a long time, my Husbands occupation was taken off the SOL but re appeared in Jul this year, like a lot of the old applicants on this thread Tania, Anlopa TraxFM Mandyandmark to name a few, but our kids are growing up quickly as you saw at the clinic this morning, Sophie was just taking her GCSE's when we started this process, she is now at Uni. So we will wait until our eldest son has taken his A Levels now, which means we won't move out til Summer 2013. we are off to Melbourne, where are you hoping to settle down?

Guest Lori2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 OH just said it was the embassyWill they email the DIAC? I don't know how they work, i just know that embassies and consulates do research and somehow inform their findings to Diac. My agent warned me that a consulate agent might drop at my work some day, so I should warn my boss so he wouldn't be surprised or missunderstand the situation. I work in a high security facility, visitors need authorization to come in, so i hope this agent will call before coming, otherwise, it will be nearly impossible to have him/her in.....this is what worries me most....we also are a biiiiiiig company with many buildings, it also worries me that if they call to the central office they might not pass the call throug or to the wrong extension. Geez, i think i will go nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest waitingtogotooz Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Well I wish my agents would have warned us so we could have warned his employer. It's not that there is nothing untoward with his work it's just that he has been given extra duties since last year! I hope I'm worrying over nothing but now I'm going to spend however many days panicking and checking our online app! Swear I'm going grey lol!

We were just saying how much more difficult it would be if you also had children with their own minds to consider... and then being taken off the list and not knowing either way! But it all looks positive for you now which is good... and the children will definately love it! I wish my parents took me years ago! I think we are going to Sydney initially as we have a couple of friends there, but I'm not sure if we'll settle there permanently as we've heard it's expensive... so I think we'll take the time to look around and figure out where we want to be! We're just appreciating that we have this opportunity and we want to make the most out of it... just wish we could take all our friends and family too!
