Re: No Acknowledgement
Hi
I've not recieived an acknowledgement either or any requests for further docs and my cc was charged on the 8th Sept - I don't think we're the only ones still waiting who applied in September, it seems to have slowed back down again. I'll let you know if I hear anything but in the meantime I'm still getting up early every morning to check my email and racing home for the post every night! BTW, has anyone been notified of a PR visa grant by email? I did check the email box on the form but everyone else seems to be getting postal acknowledgements/notifications.
Have a good day!

Re: No Acknowledgement
Right B72, you guessed right the system seems to have slowed down again.i will be really grateful if you will let me know about your status periodically and i will do the same for u as well. i was advised by an administrator of another forum to ask for the confirmation of application receipt through email. just now i have sent a fax for the purpose. you may choose email for further inquiry.
if you paid by cc - send an email to Adelaide - quote your DOB and the credit card transaction date / amount and ask for confirmation of receipt of the application.
i think PR visa grant used to be sent via email notification followed by a postal mail.

Re: No Acknowledgement
Not getting an acknowledgement is par for the course. DIMIA are useless!!
Don't worry about it - as long as your card has been charged, cheque cashed etc then you have a lodgement date which should suffice for now.
Don't panic!!

Re: No Acknowledgement
Sorry to buck the trend here, and not trying to be a smart ass 
. But I have found DIMIA (so far) to be very helpful and reasonably efficient.
We sent our application on 13th Aug, CC debited a week later, confirmation recieved first week of September. Had our meds this week and requested police checks about 2 weeks ago.
Sent an email to our case officer letting him know what was going on and he replied the replied the following day.
I wonder if it is case officer related
Best of luck to those waiting and hope you all get replies soon.

Re: No Acknowledgement
Hi Arham, we are one of the September applicants who have received an acknowledgement. Took one month but felt like a year ... getting used to limbo now though. Hang in there.
Our timeline looks a bit like this....
Doc's arrived ASPC on 6th Sept, credit card charged 8th Sept, letter from ASPC requesting more info (as I work through my own co re employment etc), meds and police checks recd last Tues, 12th Oct, dated 6th Oct.
The letter from ASPC states that "Fast Tracking can be achieved by returning all of the requested documentation....at the same time by [15th December]" - I have no idea how fast "Fast Tracking" means though
We've done meds and got police checks and have sign off with my accountant next Friday for requested employment info so we should certainly have all docs with ASPC by mid Nov at the latest. And then we wait...

We did not receive any acknowledgement too.,.The first mail we got from DIMIA was asking for Medical checks.

Hiya Arham
As you might have seen in another thread, I got my acknowledgement and PCC request on Friday (15th). My PCCs have already been sent a week or so ago, so I'm really hoping I may hear something soon. Anyone have any idea how long the case is decided after meds and PCCs are sent?
