KirstyS Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Just wondering if any who lodged for a 189 in July have a case officer yet or a visa granted yet. I think they are still busy with June lodgements but just wondering ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepFriedMatt Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hey KirstyWe lodged on 23 June and have uploaded everything including medicals and PCCs. No sign of any activity at all on our application yet! Starting to get really frustrating now. Good luck with the wait, it's definitely been the toughest part for us so far. Hope you get a case officer soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirstyS Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 thanks. yes this is the toughest part..besides the one unabridged birth certificate that gave me a bit of grief everything was uploaded from the outset, so it's not even like I can keep myself busy with documentation ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazzn Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Jaxbell82, if you don't mind me asking. Are all your docs (PCC, medical) already loaded or do you still need to do those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxBell82 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Agent hasn't load any docs yet. We have our PCC, booking for medicals (haven't gone yet). They have requested proof of employment so we just gathering pay slips, bank statements etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazzn Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks Just aking sure I don't need everything loaded before we get a case officer. Busy getting our PCC's and form 90 together. Medicals maybe at the end of the month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepFriedMatt Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 @JaxBell82 congrats on getting a case officer!Can anybody who better understands more about how case officer allocation works enlighten me? We submitted on 23 June with 65 points. We have already uploaded all docs including medicals and PCCs. I've seen a few people who lodged after us that have already been allocated a case officer. We're becoming quite despondent now! Any input would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggle Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Can anybody who better understands more about how case officer allocation works enlighten me?See: https://www.immi.gov.au/about/charters/client-services-charter/visas/8.0.htmAlso see: https://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/estimated-allocation-times.htm - note "This information was last updated on 29 August 2014 and the next update will occur in late September 2014" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepFriedMatt Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 @greggleThanks. I've read the processing standards before but those are quite vague as for a 189 it just says the standard processing time is 3 months and there's no mention of CO allocations.The "allocation dates" page also does not make sense to me. For 189 it says people who lodged on 8 May are currently being processed. However there are a number of people on the forum who lodged a lot later and already have a CO. So it all seems like a mystery to me still.Oh well guess we just have to keep on waiting and hoping ! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurferMan Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I wish they would just bloody be honest and give us our number of where we are in the queue! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
