I applied in LATE November 2007 (175 CSL) PAPER APPLICATION and no case officer yet

we have to wait, but there are positive signs that they are processing November 2007 paper based applications.

but What I noticed the situation is different for IT applicants, their processing is much more quick, I guess

Good Luck

bakalola ..i don't think that there is preferential processing speed up for some of the CSL like IT while other jobs on the list still wait.....i wish u good luck ...may be the will be processing u very soon... so be ready

Actually it is interesting how several 175 people were allocated COs around then, and two say that they have been given visas.

If you are on the CSL, it will be soon, if you are not, forget it! That seems to be how it is going at the moment.[/QUOTE]



Hi

I have seen that i am on the CSL list Electrician. Does the case officer need to informed by myself about this or do they just look at your documents.

Thanks Again

No, you don't need to inform them.

Hat Scott,

You do not have to do anything. If you get a CO and he or she needs anything, you will be informed!! Good luck!

Cheers,

Hi,

I have applied my visa (skilled independent - category 175, IT professional) on 2008 May 8 th, My job is there is on MODL. And according to recent announcement with CSL list, its there also. I have sent my Police clearance and medicals too. My agent lodged as paper based application

However the sad part is that I HAVENT assigned a CO till now, Its almost 10 months over since I lodged my application. I'm from high risk country.

So anyone in this forum has got CO who applied after May 2008 ? I would appreciate your comments back,

Good luck to all,

imaxx

patience dukeslaw, i'm dec 2007 applicant, subclass 175 in CSL/MODL, paper based from HR country, lodged thru agent too. frontloaded meds and pcc in oct 2008. no sign of CO until now and it's 14 months going on 15th month of waiting...you're not alone

Hi All,

Submitted application: 06/02/09. CO allocated 11/02/09. Meds and x-rays submitted: 27/02/09 . How long will it take to hear from the CO?

Nyambipo

Help from agent. Visa type e457

what is the type of VISA>?

ARE you job listed on CSL or even MODL?

Nyambipo

My visa type is e457 (Employer sponsered visa) . I'm a nurse and my profession is listed on the CSL.

Just wondering - I was under the impression that meds and police check were only valid for a year - and if you weren't granted the visa within the year you would have to get them redone. Also I heard that when you are granted the visa, you have a certain amount of time to come into Australia and activate it - this time being either one year or whenever the medicals/police check expire - whichever is soonest (although since the meds are only valid one year this means that it is dependent on the med date, not the one year date)

Any thoughts?

That was what i thought and have learnt from on here.
Although i have recently read somewhere that the case officer can extend the validation date under some circumstances but i would think they are extreme circumstances. Must have read that on here somewhere...

e457's are usually just a few weeks to sort., don't think the CSL and modl are relevant as it is a temporary visa not a PR one.
