Hi
I just got a CO

How can this be?!
My acknowledgement was on 13.12.2005.
I'm 136 non MODL. I expected to get a CO in about 2-3 months.

Oh well, I got lucky I guess
Maybe because my wife and I are a simple case (<30 years old, no children, 125 points etc.)

Anyway, I have a few questions.

I front loaded our police clearances (I thought then it had to be done) so I only got a request for medicals. Let's say the PCs' date is Dec. 1st 2005. If they are valid for a year, does that mean that should I get the visa, I'll have to arrive 01.12.2006 the latest? I mean if I got the visa 3 months before that it should be ok but still it would be nice to have more time.

Should I ask my CO if she wants me to do the PCs again (a pain in the ass, my wife is Bulgarian)?

Regards,
Emil

PS. My first post so be gentle

Yes, you will have to validate by 1st Decmber 2006.

It's up to you on whether you get your PC's done again or not. It depends on when you are wanting to go. If you decide to get them re-done, then just e-mail your CO and let her know that you are getting new ones and she will wait for them.

COngrats on getting this far

WOW that was fast
Thanx a lot for the info.

congrats mate!!!

Cheers for that! You lucky devil! It is great to hear they are moving though!
Ours was acknowledgeded end of October again Non MODL, we was advised in April by our agent, it would be another 4-8 weeks before we heard anything!

Gona give her a ring right now to chase this up!!!

I'm on a similar timeline as you and I got allocated a C/O today so you'll probably be next.

Good Luck

Things are moving now next stop ...visa!!

Congratulations!! By the way, any idea what region you are in?

Gives us all waiting a glimmer of hope!

Thanks Johnnyboy!
Rang our agent this afternoon and she advised not heard anything yet!
I have been the patient one up to now, hubby has driven me nuts! But I'm even gettin itchy feet now and just want to get things moving!
If one more person says 'thought you was going to Oz'........................

No specific region, my exact visa type is:
Skilled Independent (Class BN, Subclass 136)

My CO is from region 3 though.

Hope this helps,
Emil

we are also on a similar time line to you, going for our meds today at 11.40, I,ve put my best underpants on just in case, you never know it might be a female Doctor police checks in the post, we are hoping to be in oz for christmas but we do have a house to sell and the dogs to sort, it will be interesting to see if we get our visas at the same time.


steve

congrats , that is quick, bet you have a visa in the next week

hallidays, apparently the region thing is isignificant now since the new changes came into effect.

Hi debbiemc - sorry, what were the new changes? Quite new to all this!

i'm not quite sure to be honest, but if you take a look at the immi forum, george lombard put a thread up about time lines etc. my agent told me the region thing didnt matter now.

good luck with everything

debbie

Well how bizarre!
Received e-mail from agent today and a CO has been assigned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That phone call must have done something then!
A liddle step further!
