I think its the new way since Jan 05 - very quick ack email with ref number, but still a wait for a case officer to be assigned.
Did the person above with the email ack get a 'case officer assigned' letter yet, and if so are these done by email or letter ?

I wouldn't worry. If your application was received just before xmas you can more or less discount the next week or 2 as holiday. Its taking approx 6-8 to process med requests and acknowledgements (post Jan 05) at the moment maybe even a little longer, I would leave it for at least another 4 weeks. You should receive it any day.

agents lodged application 24/12/04 and had acknowledgement and file number 26/01/2005, case officer not appointed at that time and no as yet. Sorry if you are waiting but looking through these threads there does seem to be a huge difference in the time it takes things to happen.

Application recieved ASPC 3rd feb 2005 - cc debited 3rd and e-mail sent 3rd detaling case number but no officer yet - it said we would be informed of that in the near future. the ref no was very helpful though as it allowed me to put it on my medicals/ x-rays (we frontloaded as i'm a nurse), so thanks to DIMIA for being so speedy
Lynn
p.s this does seem to be a new thing as another nurse 'ad4oz' never got anything, just had her cc debited but no e-mail until she e-mailed them. Her application was submitted mid December like you. I wouldn't worry if your cc has been debited - things will start moving soon.

As for Dec applicants, I think you have a couple more weeks to wait. I applied mid-November and the ack was dated mid-January, so about 8-10 weeks would be the norm right now. I haven't seen anyone who got the fast ack (post Jan 1) post anything regarding getting further info requested yet, so I expect that they are on the same schedule for Meds/PCC but only got the ack quickly.
Cheers,
Brian

I was told that it all depends on your case worker. Some contact you with receipt acknowledgement, some don't.
We are using an agent and they said they didn't have anything. I emailed the Oz Govt. direct (http://www.immi.gov.au - under contacts) and I got a reply in about 3 days stating our application had been received and giving our reference number and current processing times.
Good luck!
