Default CO Assigned - How Long Now ???

Hi all......

Submitted visa application (STNI for ACT) on 24th August. Weekly checks of the ASPC processing times indicated that our visa would not be getting processed until about March time (yesterday's weekly email said that applications submitted on 20th-28th May were being processed).

So imagine my surprise when we received an email from our agent this morning with a letter asking for our medicals and police checks from our Case Officer............

Because we decided to leave the meds until requested, we are booked in for early January (the letter asks for everything to be back by 17th Jan).

How soon/long will the decision (visa grant hopefully) be made ?????


Thanks for listening

Hi there, and first off congrats on the co. Its hard to tell with holidays and all we got a co one day and a visa 2 days later, but we frontloaded. Remember it takes 10 from medicals until they are sent off sometimes depends on the clinic you are using, so you might have a little bit of a wait.
Best wishes.

Hi there, our CO was assigned on 11th October, we had our meds done 2nd Nov and sent police checks on 10th Nov. It looks like our visa has been granted today so that's 10 weeks.

Good luck!
