Here's a link to DIAC's advice on allocation times for anyone who isn't aware of it.  It's updated quite regularly http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/estimated-....

 

Cheers

Hi Susan,

I am a May 2008 category 5 onshore applicant. 'I was allocated a case officer on 25th of January. Inspite of submitting all the documents about 6 weeks ago we haven't had the PR granted.
Is there a time within which the case officer needs to respond? We have called him a few times and he says he is busy!
What can I do? I'm due to have a baby in 10 days and would like to put this behind me before the baby comes.

Thanks.

Hey Tapan!

If you are an 8th Nov 2008, offshore applicant, and your physical job verification is done, this would mean that you have been assigned a CO. Does this mean that DIAC is currently proccessing Cat 5 offshore applicants?

I was under the impression that there are still some cat 4 and onshore cat 5 pending before they start offshore. Would be great if you could clarify.

Thanks,

Nisha

Hey Tapan!!

Tanks for replying so soon :) I guess that explains it. Ultimately there's not much we can do but wait.

My husband and I applied for our visas in May 2010, (offshore - India). With the changes that were introduced our application was pushed to Cat 5, so now we are anticipating a really long wait as well. 

Hope you hear something soon.

Tanks a ton,

Nisha
