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....

Oh NO!!! nobody knows......!!!

BEVS

Sorry helenhoppy. I can't remember.

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

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.

teebrown

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

Hang in there, good luck

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????

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).

Hurrah. Be patient. Your turn will come.
