Yes, I don't want our precious thread to be left behind either. We have sent our medicals to Sydney unrequested. Guess it made us feel a bit better, like we were doing something. Still it will be a month or so until we get any sort of request or communication from DIMIA, it seems. And we are 138 so still have to do the AOS bit. I assure myself we'll get some sort of news before the festive season. Winter is setting in here while over there it is Spring and that's hard. Mind you, a tornado touched down in Perth where my sister lives so for once I was glad to be here rather than there. Yikes!

Anne I see you are also in Surrey. We are in the Richmond area.

Fingers crossed for all other June applicants out there.

Hi,

My application was acknowledged on 8th June (CC charged on 6th). Medicals & PCCs have been also sent recently. I expect a 1022 request in 3-4 weeks.
It seems that they start requesting things after 19 weeks.
There is a recent update at austimeline http://www.austimeline.com/austime/a...pp.jsp?id=2602
, she got it in 4 months and 6 days. If we are lucky we could get it soon

Cheers,

TB

Hi,

Try to get employment references according to the ASCO codes. There is a detailed description about occupations at:

http://www.abs.gov.au/Ausstats/free....%2E1997&Latest

Your CO checks in order to compare your references against the standard.

I hope it helps,

Cheers,

TB

Hi happymum. I am in Farnham and I also have a sister out in Perth. Well Rockingham to be more precise. Looks like we will be following a similar trail. We were originally going 138 before they put plumbers on the MODL.

happymum

Ah, that's you, me and Shaz&Dee all with sisters in Perth! Wow what luck to get plumbers on the MODL, you must have been elated! Yours will go much quicker than ours I imagine, being 136 and MODL. You could even be there for Christmas, lucky things!

Fingers crossed we should ALL hear something in October for sure.

Pauline & Iain

Hi All,

I've also got sisters in Perth, two of them!!!!

We are also 136 and MODL, do you really think we could be there for Crimbo!!!
That would be fantastic. I suppose it depends on how long it takes to sell the house. After all the horror stories I've read on here, I'm dreading that bit!!!

Good luck to everyone.

I've been waiting for a June 05 thread, I'm begining of June but not heard anything other than acknowledgement. Its a waiting game!

The A Team

Just got in this evening to find an email...................
....................we've been assigned a CO and she has requested our medicals!!!

We were only acknowledged on 20 June so its 13 weeks today. Typical isn't it, we weren't expecting to hear anything for ages so have only just sent off for our police checks and booked the meds for 5 October thinking we had plenty of time. I'm in a state of shock to be honest!

Anne4Terry

Ooo well done Looks like you will be quicker than us then as we have still to get extra info into them. You must have been very good and ticked all the boxes, crossed all the t's and dotted all the i's. Have they asked for the form 1022 as well? That's the one for no change of circumstances. Our co has asked for that to be sent off with our extra info. Does that mean he is being in a positive frame of mind?

The A Team

Yes they have asked for the form 1022 and the latest set of accounts for our business! Luckily I got on to our accountants last week in the light of your CO requesting yours and they should be ready in 2 weeks. I'm just shocked that they're seems to be absolutely no way of second guessing when you're going to be assigned a CO. There seems no pattern at all!! Aaarrgghh I wish I'd front loaded now!!!

purple rain

Great news, I wish our were requested today we have the same ack date as you,
hope everything goes well for you
