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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!
Applications are now being allocated as follows:

State & Territory Nominated Applications:

Once the department has received valid nomination from a state or
territory, applications will be allocated to a case officer within 10
working days.

Applications with Occupations on the Critical Skills List (CSL):

Applications are being allocated in date of lodgement order. All CSL
applictions are expected to be allocated to case officers by end of May
2009.

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

So by now you should have a CO, and my guess is they didn't require any thing from you.
I would say be prepared for a grant ;)

I sent them PCC and Meds in dec '07, just when they requested. But now PCC's and Meds's lifetime is over, and i'm waiting a new request.

I think they will request PCC and Meds after they check all the documents first, To my understanding they always ask for PCC and Meds in the final stage after they have all the requirements met.

Good Luck

What do you mean 'just when they requested'? If you didn't and don't have a CO they can't have been requested so you shouldn't have sent them

I think he means the fact the PCC and MEDs usually being required at the time of application. Also agents had a common practice at that time (dec 2007) to request from the applicant to front load PCC and MEDs

The PCC and Meds were requested two days after lodgement by the Diac(they asked to complete it within 28 days, as usual). They(PCC and Meds) could be requested not only by CO. My agent say: there are a lot of common clerks, who requested different docs (e.g. 1022form, reference letters, another necessary docs), and inspected the case. And when case is proved, it is allocated to CO tomake a decision on visa. it was before priority changes.

By now the allocation to CO depends on priority.

DIAC ask you not to submit PCC and Meds unless specifically requested to by a CO. The description your agent has given doesn't seem to match with the process often described on this forum; nothing is requested until a CO is assigned as far as I understand it. In fact there was a thread yesterday saying the visas are normally provisionally approved with the final step being the meds and PCC, there is no point them being requested unless all the other paperwork has been checked. Your case seems to be very unusual.

The statement advising applicants to NOT complete their medicals & PCC's unless asked for, has only come up quite recentley - I think after December 17th.

Before that, DIAC would normally email you, along with the acknowledgement and fee reciept, a document checklist asking you to upload all the required documents (on the checklist) with in 28 days. The health requirements and form 47 overseas panel clearence would read 'required' .. So most of the applicants who didn't hire an agent, frontloaded their PCC's and Medicals just to be on the safe side.

An extract from some of my docs...

Health and Character Checking
Applicants can reduce the time taken to finalise the application by commencing health and character checking before their application is allocated to a case officer, however, applicants and migration agents should be aware that:
o Applicants are responsible for all costs associated with medical examinations and providing police clearances;
o Health examinations and police clearances have limited validity periods, generally for a period of 12 months;
o If clearances expire before the application is finalised they may be requested again, and must be provided at the applicant’s cost;
o The ASPC may need to undertake other checking in respect of the application that can delay a decision; and
o Undertaking health examinations and providing police clearances does not guarantee an application will be successful.
As advised above applicants and Agents can monitor which applications are currently being allocated for assessing when deciding when to undertake health and character procedures.
Important: Applicants are not required to undertake these checks now and can wait until requested to do so by the case officer assessing their application.
Non-migrating family members of SIR visa applicants do not need to undertake health and character checking.

when did you get the reply on your PLE? If you got 1-2 weeks ago chances are you have a CO now

I'm also a paper based 176 (family) applicant. When I tried to check via PLE I got a reply that my email address is not authorized. Did you submit a form or something to get your email authorised?

Have you notified DIAC that you are CSL.

As per their upates on first two weeks of March, they instructed IT professionals to inform DIAC that you are CSL.

Every IT professional has to advise DIAC that they are CSL.
