@Heprex | Guys, baka lang makatulong and base po ito sa isa sa mga nagrant kanina na 04/2016 pa naglodge. Cinopy and paste ko lang dito para mabasa ng lahat. Something to know lang po.
"Hi Guys... received grant today..did not hear about any EV.. the updated timeline is as follows,
ANZSCO Code : 221111 – Accountant General
PCC : 01/Sep/15

Info provided : 17/Aug/16
Application put on hold : May 2017 - wife pregnant
3rd CO contact : 31/Aug/17 - New born birth certificate... new medicals and PCC for everyone
Info provided : 05/Nov/17
4th CO contact : 16/Jan/18 - New PCC (already provided)
Called them : 12/Feb/17 - <b class="Bold">The operator was very helpful.. I explained to him that due to oversight the case officer requested the same information again and it is causing delay.. the operator put the call on hold and called the CO.. later the operator clarified that the application will be reviewed today
Grant : 12/Feb/17
</b>
My opinion:
Will calling them work?
Absolutely... but not all the time..it depends on the operator.. some operators give standard reply and refuse to go any further.. some take that extra effort to help.. I have them 6 times...twice I got very good response.. Once when I called them in Aug 2017 the operator sent an reminder email to the CO and I got a CO contact immediately there after...
Some time lines based on my experience:
> If CO asks to redo PCC.. getting grant is certain but timelines can vary from 1 day to couple of months..
>Addition of newborn - timeline ranges from 2 months to 5 months... This also depends on how much time has passed before the application has been put on hold.. For example in my case .. I was already waiting for 8 months before putting my case on hold.. so it is safe to assume that security checks would be nearing completion..
The operator also mentioned that there is an internal system that each application will be reviewed every 28 days once... For example if the CO contact is on Jan 16th ... the next review will be around mid Feb..."
For the benefit of everyone lang.
