Great speed DIAC of allocation of CO for CSL
 

Hi,

DIAC has reached till March-2008 of allocation of CO for CSL application in just 9 days.

This is really a great speed that they have finished up the cases of 6 months in just 9 days.

If they going with this speed, they will finish all CSL cases well before May-2009.

Just browse through this forum and your will get the answer. What visa have you applied for. Are you CSL. You are from HR or LR

My friend who is 175 MODL dec '07 HR country applicant got case office in sep 2008.

Re: Great speed DIAC of allocation of CO for CSL
 

I am from a high risk country, CSl but non MODL. Had applied early march 2008 and have just been assigned a case officer. Your case officer only contacts you if he/she has additional information requests.
I've known people who have been granted their visa when they didn't even know they had a case officer!

Congrats, when did CO contacted you?

Re: Great speed DIAC of allocation of CO for CSL
 

You should note that many of the applicants between sep 2007 and march 2008 where assigned a CO before Jan 2009. However, after march 2008 there will be more applicants still to be assigned a CO, so the rate might get a bit lower. Anyway, everyone of us has been waiting for at least 6 months and some even more than a year, so we already got used to the waiting game and one or two months more won't make much difference.
Good luck

Hi Mehr,
How can anyone be on CSL but not on MODL? :confused: I think CSL is a subset of MODL.

Re: Great speed DIAC of allocation of CO for CSL
 

I'm a dec '07 applicant too. My agent requested DIAC about CO. They answered: Dear Mr. sco! You haven't been allocated yet.... I'm from HR country.

Re: Great speed DIAC of allocation of CO for CSL
 

You are CSL? there must be a mistake somewhere. What is your occupation?

Re: Great speed DIAC of allocation of CO for CSL
 

Thanks :) I submitted my application on 4th of march last year. I was contacted by my assigned case officer 2 days ago! after a year and a week !

Re: Great speed DIAC of allocation of CO for CSL
 

Yeah that's what I thought so I didn't even check the CSL until a few weeks after I heard it was released! But to my surprise, I found out that my occupation is in CSL. I am an urban planner.

Re: Great speed DIAC of allocation of CO for CSL
 

it looks like your agent inquiry is old, when ASPC was still processing pre Sep 2007 applications. Now they shifted to post Sep 2007, So I guess your agent had the answer say 2 weeks ago and he informed you only now? could that be the answer?
Good luck

the following text quoted below is extracted from ASPC auto reply email that I recieved on 2 March 2009. You can see that they already passed the Pre-Sep 2007 applications!!

Re: Great speed DIAC of allocation of CO for CSL
 

DIAC's answer - 3 March. You are right, 2 weeks. And I'm still waiting a CO and request(PCC, medicine).
