How come the document status shows "received" without CO?

I am a october '08 applicant , CSL, MODL, HR country. I was checking my document checklist and surprised to see all of them marked "received" but I was not expecting a CO so soon! However, My other status still remain unchanged and I didn't hear from any CO too! I thought the checklist is updated only when allocated a CO??!!

Did you send the documents via email, or did you upload them?

I think that if you email them, then because someone has to attach them to your file, they show received immediately, whereas if you upload they don't.

Sajid, I agree with cookiestar. I had troubles attaching documents to my application so I e-mailed them. They all show received (since 1 week after the application).

Documents 'received' not necessarily mean that you have a CO. When my visa was granted, most of the documents said "Required". Have you been contacted by your CO yet? May be you frontloaded everything. If not, rest assured that you will be contacted soon.
