Anybody got CO assigned in 2-3 months?
I am not answering your question but by the looks of your signature it seems your IELTS result of 2010 may not be valid in 2012 (the day you applied your visa) since they normally have a 12 month validity.

IELTS is valid for 24 months...I applied within this time frame.

I didn't say it never gets requested, but it is more often requested from High Risk countries.
If the OP wants to fill it in just in case thats up to them, but with the length and detail of it these days in their shoes I would wait till requested - personally speaking
Back in the days when I got my visa everyone had to do it as a matter of course; I came on a Spouse Visa and had to do it three times!!! Now though we get a fair few reports on here of people not being asked for it at all.

Your CO may never update your status.
Your visa may be granted while your status still says "Required" for some things.
If you have frontloaded police checks and medicals you are unlikely to ever hear from your CO except when they send you the result of the application.

Soooooo chill out, relax, and remember how lucky you are -some people have been waiting 2,3,4 years for their 175 visas.

I do not like being addressed as "man" any more than I enjoy being addressed as "mate" or "dear" by people who do not know me. Nor is it good English or acceptable to the majority of people in Australia.

That means no more than that someone at DIAC has changed the status to say "Application being processed further",
