JoleneW Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hanlie please wave your wand on my application too.... Good2Go holding thumbs for both of us.

CyberJoe Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 @TracyAnne our originally assigned CO / VPO is listed as the contact person and processing officer, there is no team name. The processing office was located in Adelaide if that helps at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarpeDiem Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Congrats CyberJoe. That is awesome, also awesome because it means that Adelaide is also granting November applications 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracyAnne Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 It's interesting to see who is granting applications. I'm with the Brisbane processing office so not good for me but could be good for @Chips because she is also waiting on Adelaide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's so funny TracyAnne, because I have been of the opinion that Brisbane is granting more! Just goes to show there actually isn't really a trend and it is all quite random. Not sure if this is good or bad, but can only mean that it could be any day now for the rest of us waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweepea Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Congratulations @DavePE and @CyberJoe! looks like my CO is from Brisbane. Wow - loading PCCs and getting a visa grant on the same day! I hope we end up in the same position! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavePE Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Hi @JoleneW I lodged on the 26th of November. I had my first contact from my case officer on the 16th of December asking for my PCC. Uploaded my PCC yesterday at approximately 10am SA time and my visa was granted roughly 12 hours later. I just want to also point out that mine was a 190 (State Sponsored) so I think that makes a difference. There are no "invite rounds" for the 190, it's seems it's done on a more ad-hoc basis, and mine was obviously already checked and processed on the 16th of December, baring the PCC, so I guess it makes sense that it was approved so quickly. @CyberJoe hearty congratulations! It's just a massive relief knowing that you actually have the visas! Now the real work begins! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
