I would like to know if we have a CO we just have not heard of and also if we can expext a visa grant before 1 July. My question is: have any of you tried to call DIMIA to ask these questions? If yes, how did they react? Were they friendly and informative and what did they tell you? Also, do you think it could "hurt" our case if we do this? TIA Cheers, Janni I rang to find out the same information, infact I have rung a couple of times, always been extreamly polite to them and received the same back. All I would say is dont ring them until your 4 months is up as stated in your letter or they probably will get funny, and they wont commit to telling you when you visa will be granted. All they said to me about a CO was that I would hear within a week!! And sure enough I did!! Exactly the same with regards to getting the visa I emailed our CO and she replied saying we would get our visa within a week and we did!! Dont think it does affect your case as long as you dont hound them, after all the more emails/calls they have to deal with the longer it takes for them to deal with the paperwork!! |

Our medicals got sent to Canadian Immigration instead of Oz. Then the people in Ottawa sent them to Adelaide instead of Sydney. If they say our medicals have been looked at then I can assume they are working on our file. |

Thanks, reading your story made me feel good :D
They received our application 1 February, i.e. 4½ months now. We have decided to call them this Monday, 19 June. I would be thrilled to know we could have a CO within a week!! Or maybe even our visas.... :)

Re: Should I call DIMIA???
Hi TC,
Yes, it did... at least a little... although I don't think you can compare migrating to Canada and Oz. Anyway, how are YOU feeling about playing the waiting game? You always write "relax" and "don't worry, it'll come soon". Are you REALLY that relaxed???? Cheers, Janni

I guess once I get the Police checks back,,,..and still no sign of a CO...then I suppose I'll become a serial email checker!!!!!! Why don't you do other things for prepartion in the meantime?..such as open fx trading account...open oz bank account...etc TC |
Re: Should I call DIMIA???
OK... just couldn't understand why you seem so relaxed :)
I AM doing other things - and I am, seriously, not trying to stress but I cannot help it... We are about to put our house on the market (mid July) and we are looking at Adelaide suburbs, schools, job market etc. I will turn 30 next Monday thus being busy arranging my birthday party etc. etc. Lots of things do do :D Good luck all!
