CO question....
 

ITA submitted on 2/3/09. When/how will I know who my case officer is?????:(
Sorry, you must all be mad with me for asking questions, I'm just in limbo land.... :unsure:

Re: CO question....
 

Oh NO!!! nobody knows......!!!:ohmy:

Re: CO question....
 

:lol: Sorry helenhoppy. I can't remember.

Ok. I went and found my old paperwork from August 2004:eek:

We were allocated our case officer when we were sent our letter of Invitation To Apply For Residence along with the ITA paperwork. There was a contact email addy for her along with a direct line phone number.

Of course it may well have changed since 2004.

Re: CO question....
 

Yes us too, we knew ours with our ITA letter.

Hang in there, good luck

Re: CO question....
 

we found out who our CO was on tuesday when she rang us... we submitted our ITA in november.

i wonder if the difference between teebrown and Bevs and us is that we don't have a job offer????

Re: CO question....
 

I too got the name of my CO when I received the ITA. I did get an email address for her & a direct line. However, I have never managed to speak to her by phone, & she never returned my calls. Apparently they do not like doing business over the phone as (& I quote) "applicants can misunderstand and misquote what they are told. We prefer doing business in writing". In other words, get used to emails, 'coz you won't get anything else.

(PS I did find my CO singularly unhelpful)

Thanks for all your comments. :)

It does seem that if you have a job offer, then you are assigned a CO straight away, if not, you have to wait, which is fair enough I suppose, (not that it feels fair while you're waiting). :(

Re: CO question....
 

Our timeline went like so:
EOI submitted: mid April 08

Case Officer allocated: 2nd March
Interview: 10th March
Approval in principle / PR Granted: 12th March

125 points no job offer.

Hurrah. Be patient. Your turn will come.
