Contacting DIMIA
#1

I have seen on here that some have contacted DIMIA to see where abouts their application is in the queue.
We sent our pc's off about 4 weeks ago and meds about 3 weeks ago. Do they send email acknowledgement of these or not. Although the meds got couriered the pc's were sent royal mail (yeh i know, but we sent the application royal mail no probs) and we worried they not got them. Does anyone know the number we can call? We are 136 MODL.

Other than that, I guess it's just a case of sitting tight....

When did you sent the app off?? I assume you got an acknowledgement for that??

I phoned DIMIA this morning and after holding for about 16 mins spoke to thiis lovely guy called Mark who looked up my application when I gave him my file reference number. The telephone number is on your acknowledgement letter, he explained that there were a lot of applications being processes this time of year and that as a MODL applicant on a skilled visa the current time for completed visa applications is 6-9 months.
I was expecting a version of our public sector 'computer says no' dreary people but was pleasantly surprised with how helpful he was - I reckon you should give them a call and put your mind at rest - that is if you dont mind listening to Men at Works " I come from a land down under" for 20 minutes while holding!!!!
Good luck
