Hi I had the same email from a PLE I sent on 13th Feb, and yes we have a case officer so I would definitely say you have a case officer.

Guest Alibajwa Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Waooo.......... Another good news ................. confirm you people when I will actually have officail mail from CO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bokkiegirl Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 HUGE congrats to those that got grants! SO happy for you!! Our agent emailed our CO to ask if anything is still outstanding and he replied saying that our application is still undergoing routine checks and this can take another couple of weeks as different departments deal with different checks etc.. So we will just hurry up and wait... Going to try and stay clear of the internet for a little bit (not sure if I will be able to).. Hope that we will have some great news soon!!

Guest steffijones Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Well my patience has run out now with waiting for a CO so hubby is going to phone DIAC tonight to see when we might get one and why we missed out on the first round as we were within the date range to get one, agent keeps telling me to relax and chill out, which I think might actually be making me worse!! I really didn't have OCD before this, but now I feel it is getting out of control!!! :arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't have OCD before this, but now I feel it is getting out of control!!! :arghh: Hi steffijones its a good idea to ring and just check also that they have your Form 1100 from SA!! quite a few peeps havent had this attached to their application, just like us, so something to watch for :wideeyed: also, when i spoke to DIAC the man told me that new CO get allocated at the beginning of every new week, so hopefully you will hear something soon, let us know how you go Jill x :hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't have OCD before this, but now I feel it is getting out of control!!! :arghh: Did we have the same agent, because this is the attitude they had with me, AAARRGGHHH i am the one applying, i am the one paying, please do as we ask and contact DIAC. Well that is what i felt like saying, it was within the 24 hour deadline we had set when we received notice of a Case Officer so they got away with it. Best of luck on the phone, try to remain calm, if its not what you want to hear try not to feel too down. We called two weeks ago, hoping we had a CO, to be told nope, we were in the next round of applications and should wait 4 weeks before calling back, a few days later we heard.

Kyto Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thanks to all for the kind words :smile: We hope to be in South Australia by the middle of the year. Our current plan is to sell house, quit job, buy plane tickets, fly over then begin our new lives and start living our dreams. But the emotions cut a bit deep when you tell family and friends because it is real now, its no longer just a discussion that we have been talking about for two and a half years. So far we are lucky everyone is "Happy" for us that we got our visa grant but at the same time sad because now the clock is counting down and our time together is few. We also get emotional when we start sorting our stuff, this is for so and so, this is for selling, this is for taking over and then you realise that you have to shred your life apart just so that you can put it all together again on the other side with no clue how or where to begin. You know and prepare yourself for this moment but the emotions don’t understand Not for sissies definitely not for sissies.......... good thing we are not sissies :biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren82 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Congrats Kyto I am very happy for you. :biggrin: Steffijones you defo should ring DIAC. I rang on Monday and found they had not attached my the form 1100. Said I would be waiting at least a year unless I got it resent. :eek: So I rang SA straight away, they confirmed it had been sent on 7th Oct but have sent it again for me now. Hopefully they will get things in order now and get things moving. ... In other news, we managed to get a last minute appointment and had our medicals yesterday.

ThistleandRose Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hi everyone.. been off here a few days. These medicals have really taken it out of us.. Have had to distract myself elsewhere! Just want to get on, make lists, pack.... what's more it really looks like I am going to be made redundant at work in the early summer. This could all work out so well... or be a complete disaster!!! Can't stand it. Anyway. Good news is that my specific work experience has been met, and quickly too. One more step done. Today we went back to the infamous docs in London with all our extra medical stuff and they were pretty good, going through it all with us to make sure it's enough. Of course we still don't know but at least the meds are now off to Australia. Well done Gaz - really pleased the meds bit is over for you. Well done for spotting his recommendation! Police checks, well according to the timeline they should be back Friday or Saturday. Only went for the normal service as we sent off before the CO came. Will be straight on that phone come Monday if nothing's arrived... or maybe tomorrow!!!! Anyone thinking that the police checks are taking a while to come through? Just want to be there.. Mind you. We've started a list of all the things we want to do before we leave Britain. It'll take about 6 months to do it all...!! Good job I might be out of work, I might just have time ha ha. Though I think I need a lot of time to sort out the loft.. I reckon I could write a book on the twists and turns. :arghh::arghh::arghh::arghh: Well done to everyone who has got COs and grants in the last week. Roll on the golden sands.. Hands up everyone who has to sort out the loft.....:yes: LOL Don't know why I took a break from here.. it feels great to be writing it all out, PIO Therapy...
