Jit7 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 So the good news is turn me PINK got a case officer. The bad news they've asked for my ex husband to fill an extra form in giving permission for our son to go. They've already got a stat dec just concerned that I'm not gonna be able to get this done. He lives in south Africa, have no address or contact details for him. He's obstructive at the best of times. What should have been a happy day is turning out to be not so happy. :-( Jen x Hopefully I read correctly this time - so congrats on getting a CO I hope you are able to meet the CO's request. Is there any way that you can contact your CO and explain the situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you submit anything originally with your visa application from your son's father to move to Oz? We submitted a hand written letter from my son's father (my ex) saying that he would support him in whatever decision he makes. So far we haven't been asked from our CO to submit any additional proof or fill out any form. Mind you my son will be 16 this month (if this makes any difference as in Oz any children under 18 are classed as minors and need both parents permission). Good luck.

Sol2Oz Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Sol2Oz - any news yet? ack! No sort of news whatsoever! I'll probably be one of the ones left behind - I hear even some Octobers still don't have a CO :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpzante Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 now it looks to me as though prioritization of allocations are on a per skilled occupation within the category 4 for 175 visas. Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk 2 nah, I don't think so. Camilla is a programmer/developer - that's in the same closely related field as systems and ict analysts. (My underdegree has a major in programming). Anyway, if that were the case, then the application system would stop accepting 175's, *or* the SOL would be revamped. To have certain "non required" occupations on the current SOL while people are able to apply for 175's under these occupations would be misleading to the general public.

Yvonne Thank you, it's great news. Just concerned now really. My ex husband did a statutory declaration for submission with our application so he has already given his permission, why they asking for this further form is beyond me. I know i'm going to struggle just because of the logistics the fact that he lives somewhere in south Africa doesn't help, but just another hurdle I guess.:twitcy: And form 80:err: what is that about......jeezaloo, that'll take us forever!! Congratulations on your case officer too. Jen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to prove that we've done everything possible to get the information from him, our agent told us to try and not worry too much about it so I'm gonna try and enjoy getting a case officer for tonight at least!

Guest mandhani Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Just to share with you guys that I received an email from CO for further documents,form 80 , PCC & Medicals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol2Oz Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Just to share with you guys that I received an email from CO for further documents,form 80 , PCC & Medicals. That's great. It must have been torturous having ABPF since 7 April with no sort of CO contact whatsoever! :no: and.... in case anyone is wondering, nope - no sort of news for me whatsoever. :em4600: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still holding on to this week for you anyways. I was wondering the other day, in what numbers do COs get allocated cases? 10s? 100s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still holding on to this week for you anyways. I was wondering the other day, in what numbers do COs get allocated cases? 10s? 100s? It's 1000 cases a week divided by teams. (Not sure how many teams, tho) Officially, they're up to early October, so I can't really complain. But... I read on the other forums about a few early Novembers also not having CO's .. oh well.
