Dear bro,

If some of your documents have the status Met then you have a CO and he will soon contact you. Congrats :D

Re: May 2009 Visa Applicants
 
Still no contact from CO.

I just realized one change in my application. Few months ago, the landline telecommunication company has updated the area code of my city. Now the landline number using the old area code is not valid any more. My current employer belongs to my city. May be the "further checking required" status for my work experience documents is because they are unable to contact my employer. But the employer reference letters also contains the mobile number which is still the same.

Should I wait for response from CO or should I sent a PLE to DIAC/Change of circumstances form ?

Yes do that. You can even color-scan the filled and signed form and email it to GSM email address.

How do I submit this form ? Is there any online copy of this form or should I send it on the email mentioned for sending documents ?

Print the form and fill it manually. Scan it and upload on the online link.

There is no option on online documents regarding change of circumstances form. Should I sent it via email to DIAC which they have provided for sending documents or should i just intimate the new numbers via PLE ?

Ofcourse there is an option to upload change in circumstances form. You can upload any document in the category "Others" and give a proper description regarding that document.

Then, if you wish to, you can send a PLE saying that you have uploaded a document to the application regarding the change. but, in my case, i didnt send any PLE. and it worked fine.

Hey guys...

My document checklist shows "Met", medicals finalized.. since today morning. :blink:

But, a new link is arrived "Complete character assessment" !:frown:

Re: May 2009 Visa Applicants
 
Hi mohodhaka,

Although I have filled the online form for character assessment the time I havd lodged my application but my CO contacted me to fill Form 80 and submit.

So I suggest you to fill form 80 and submit to DIAC as I assume you had not done this before.

I had applied for my pcc's start of Sept, and booked meds then too so when I got the CO, I had uploaded my pcc's and sent meds on 2/10, they were finalised yesterday and visa granted today!

The case officer must be working overtime, as I checked it earlier and saw nothing then checked again and saw it, which would be about 7pm their time.

Hope it gives hope to everyone that they're moving fast now on CSL applications. That was just under 5 months from application.

Good luck everyone,

Shaz

So many Congrats!!!
From which country you applied?

I am going bit slow, booked MEds now, and will be done after a week from now.

I just checked that in GSM 175 application there was no information asked regarding the telephone numbers of current and previous employers. Also in form 1221, which i submitted after my application, only the address of all employers was asked and no telephone number was mentioned there. In the employer reference letters which i uploaded, there was mobile number mentioned for further contact which is still valid. However, in company letter head the old telephone numbers are specified.

Now should i sent the Change of Circumstances form for new telephone numbers or should i wait for any reply from CO?

though changing employer contact number shouldnt be a matter, but for the applicants HR countries, COs might be suspicious and motivated in wrong direction!
i would say, u better upload a 1022 form. It may not be useful for them but you will be safe and obviously harmless!

I just uploaded the 1022 form. I still haven't got any email from CO. Its been already 3 days since the status of my documents was updated.

Why do you think uploading Form 1022 would make your CO contact you? :confused:

If your CO needs something from you they will contact you, they are not going to contact you to say thanks for the Form 1022. ;)

If you have been following then you would have known that these were two different things which i have said in different contextes.

1) First thing was that I uploaded 1022 form because there was change in circumstances. The landline telephone area code of my city is updated by the telecommunication company which resulted in change in my home telephone number and also in my current employer's telephone numbers.

2) Second thing was that the online status of one of my document is shown "Requested" whereas i havent received any email from CO in which i was asked to provide any further documents.

I hope u r not confused now.

If they are uploaded correctly, you can take it for granted that your records have been updated. Many times CO don't update the "Requested", "Received" status.

Bermuda is correct. Officers are too busy to send you acknowledgements for each of your action.. If you have any doubt, PLE is always at your disposal.

Re: May 2009 Visa Applicants
 
Question is still there, as i previoulsy asked the IOM for medical appointment and according to them they need a specific letter or email from "Case Officer" or "DIAC" for appointment to conduct medical. I have seen many people here on fourms who have managed the medical without assignment of CO. Kindly guide me. My contact No. is 03215861469.



For all applicants from Paksistn "IOM the panel doctor in Pakistan are closed till furhter notice". is it correct ??


I shall be thankful for any help in this regard.

khdmah Oct 17th 2009 7:22 am

Re: May 2009 Visa Applicants
 
Hi Javed,

Different countries had different procedure of medicals ..... So dont compare with others
Secondly, Yes you need a email or letter which CO sent to you as request for medical to submit and that one you had to submit to IOM office as proof that you need to undergo for medicals for specific visa which ever you had applied for

N from where you read this statement that

"For all applicants from Paksistn "IOM the panel doctor in Pakistan are closed till furhter notice"

As their is no like that statement on the DIAC website

Thanks

In Pakistan you must have a CO letter to get an appointment in IOM.

In Bangladesh there is no need to notify DIAC for having medical done.

Yes this is very true, rather this is explicitly asked by the front officer (attending the call) for fixing the appointment.

Yes, it is very inconvenient for us. I got CO on 25 September, submitted all additional documents with in days but IOM Islamabad appointment given was on 10 October. Now the only formality remaining in my case is Medical Reports outstanding.

As a side note for others, the email from CO is not only inquired while making the telephonic appointment at IOM but a copy of it has to be presented on the day of the exam.

I have a question friends.
I have been asked to submit form 80. I am going to fill-up, scan and upload the form 80 in the "Document Upload" section.

Do I need to inform DIAC or CO through email that I have uploaded the form, or just uploading the form will serve the purpose?

you should inform your CO whenever you upload any document. Inform him using the PLE.

I uploaded the documents to the online application on the same day and replied to that mail informing the uploaded documents.

You got a CO on 09Oct09 and a CO requested docs on 14Sep09. How did this happen? I think uploading the documents online and a PLE are good enough to notify them.
