Re: August 2008 Applications
If it were my intention to move as soon as physically possible, then I would have front-loaded the meds & PCCs. Not everybody has that agenda.

Re: August 2008 Applications
Why would I want to do that? I'm deliberately waiting for my CO to instruct me to provide the meds and PCCs. That way, I'll have the most amount of time (read: flexibility) to arrange a validation trip.

Re: August 2008 Applications
There are a lot of us that aren't.
I've been sweating the last couple of months as my existing 457 is due to expire next Feb, and it is likely that the job that I am doing would be repatriated back to the UK. Added to that, we need to pay my daughters school fees here in Sydney in the next couple of months for her to start next January. I had asked for clarification from the company, and got some very woolly answers back.
Fortunately, I've managed to find another job here in Sydney with a company who were happy to take out a new 4 year 457, which should be plenty to get the PR sorted one way or the other. Shame I couldn't convince them that ENS was the way forward.....

Re: August 2008 Applications
In my Electronic Application Status Inquiry Page, since yesterday 21st April it shows that some documents are "met". I am early August 2008 applicant still on CSL. Do you think that I have a CO? I have not yet received any email from DIAC regarding this.
Another issue is that the "pages of passports containing personal details" scans for all applicants are still showing "Requested" although they have been successfully uploaded. What could be the problem? Have anyone faced similarsituation?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

application being processed sucessfully doesnt necessarily mean that u have a CO...u have to wait for a mail...
Regarding the passport pages, you neednt worry because once a CO is allocated, he will go through your documents and update it

Re: August 2008 Applications
If his documents are changed to MET then it means that he has CO, no one except CO has authority to mark it as MET.

I have CO!!! He sent me a letter.
Thanks Lord, I have got CO.
Sorry yesterday I could not share this with you as I was still "recovering" from the shock.
The valuable CO is asking some additional documents and gave me 28 days to satisfy his request.
I am very worried because he is asking me for Form 1100 (State Sponsorship Confirmation) but I have applied only for 175 Visa and I do not intend to be sponsored. Can someone help to shed a light on what this could be?
He is asking my 2 dependents and me to sign an attached character statutory declaration and no word regarding PCC. Does it mean that we are not required to show it?
The rest is asking for Birth Certificates that I could not attach on time, but I will attach it today.
Last question is, do you think that these additional documents are definitive or my Dear CO will come with another batch of requests?

Re: August 2008 Applications
So, time to kick this tread back to the top of the list.
We got our visa yesterday.
Finally after a pretty exited time, medicals got lost, than our sons medicals got lost. In February we applied for SS and after 9 days we got our first CO. After sending additional information no response, than we discovered our CO was out of office till june 30.
We requested for an other CO which we got and from than it took just 2 weeks for the grant.
Cheers,
Axel

MSGUY,
You do this yet?
What state you looking at?
The reason I ask is I have considered it, also being a System Manager, but (agent says Canberra is the only place accepting System Managers for State Sponsor)
