Still No CO Assignment Three (3) Months After Lodgement

biboy329 · May 2017

Hello. I've lodged our application last February 10 but we still were not assigned a CO even though it has been 3 months. Does this usually happen?

Is there any way to follow up or check the status of the application kahit walang CO?

jiomariano · May 2017

Nangyayari pala to, I just lodged an application last April 22 and saw other applicants who lodged at a later date get COs kaya nakakatakot nga. Makes me wonder kung may correlation ba yung length between ITA and application lodging since almost 2 mos before you applied Sir.

I'll be following this thread, sana may mga experts na makakapagbigay ng inputs nila. Good luck! Sana DG kayo para sulit ang paghihintay

meron akong nakikita sa immitracker na sobrang tagal naghintay tapos no CO contact pero DG naman in the end.

May nabasa ako sa expatforum na may mga applicants na nasusubject sa random employment verification. Baka nasample ka sa random checking kaya nagtagal ng ganito?

@biboy329 You can try to call or email immi kung lampas sa standard processing time tapos wala ka pang CO contact. Kung tatawag ka make sure to have your passport number ready and dapat on the dot na 8Am (Au time) para di ka matagal sa queue. All the best.

@jiomariano Hindi ko sure kung factor yun e. Pero ang nangyari kasi sakin sakto pinapunta din ako ng company namin sa Sydney; hindi muna ako nag-lodge para hindi magka-conflict sa visa applications. Turns out ok lng nman pala naka-lodge na yung Skilled Independent Visa at the same time apply ng Business Visitor visa ung company.

@Cassey Thank you! Yan actually yung isa kong question; kung saang number ba tatawag or anong address mag-eemail. I tried yung mga local numbers kaso pagka-select mo ng option na application is submitted online, sasabihin na na they are unable to assist daw kasi direct yung submission sa DIBP.

To give you more info - My wife gave birth last March and kelangan ko mai-add yung new baby namin sa application para makapag-proceed siya sa medical nya. Nag-submit na ako ng form for Change in Circumstances pero kelangan daw ata mapansin yun ng CO muna para mai-add niya manually si baby.

Cassey · May 2017

@biboy329 With your case, try to send a private message to @kholoudmanlucu ganyan din yung case nila dahil may newborn din sila. If you're in Au, you can call 131 881. They've been having problems with their Call Center lately so habaan na lang ang pasensiya. If you're outside Australia, hindi masasagot yun ng embassy sa Phil kasi outside na yun ng jurisdiction nila even if you call them.. You can try calling this number if you're overseas +61 02 6264 1111. Just saw this number in a website. Unfortunately, triny ko sa webform kaso wala akong makitang 189/190. You can probably try to contact them through facebook but I don't think it would be of help kasi they only give generic answer...but you can try...

biboy329 · May 2017

Thank you, @Cassey ! Yup sinubukan ko din yung webform hehe. I think call na lang talaga ang pwede kong gawin.

Also sent message to @kholoudmanlucu although nakita ko sa signature niya, she got a CO the month after lodgement. Yung sa case ko kasi as in wala.

Cassey · May 2017

@biboy329 Just pray and hopefully you'll get a CO contact soon. Have you checked the status of your application thru immi account? As long as its submitted, i think it should be fine. Medyo maraming changes sa immigration policies kasi lately kaya siguro may delay. Marami pa rin naman akong nakitang Feb applicants na wala pa ring CO contact.

kholoudmanlucu · May 2017

@biboy329 Hi. I sent you a pm.

biboy329 · May 2017

Thank you for all your help especially ma'ams @Cassey and @kholoudmanlucu !

I was able to contact them this morning after several tries (grabe ang queue!) and ayun sabi nga kung Received ang status, it means hindi pa talaga allocated and well within sa service standard nila yung sakin dahil 5 to 7 months daw ang allocation ngayon.

I guess walang ibang choice kundi mag-wait and pray. And sabi nila no need to add the new baby basta makita ng CO (once assigned) na naka-upload yung docs niya.

Cassey · May 2017

@biboy329 You're welcome. Oo tiyaga lang talaga at dasal. For all you know, baka mas maaga pa yung CO contact kesa diyan sa binigay nilang timeframe. Anyway, all the best!

kholoudmanlucu · May 2017

@biboy329 You're welcome. Hope magkaroon ka na ng CO contact soon.

kisses1417 · May 2017

Me too, more than 1 month since lodgement without CO allocation. Iniisip ko nga baka di priority kasi 489 Skilled Regional yung application ko instead of 189 and 190. Pero i keep myself busy na lang, though everyday i check my email. Thanks @biboy329 , atleast pag Received Status alam ko na yan nag answer nila.

Xiaomau82 · May 2017

you may refer to the allocation dates https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work/Allocation-dates-for-General-Skilled-Migration-applications

why are you waiting for CO to be assigned? pwede ka na magmedical and submit the police clearance para waiting na lng nmafinalise ung application mo instead of CO.

kisses1417 · May 2017

Done na din pi ako medicals and nbi lahat uploaded na para DG na. Yung iba kasi nakakareceive na assessment has commenced mga ganun, bakit kami wala? @Xiaomau82

biboy329 · May 2017

@Xiaomau82 Meron po kasi kaming baby na gusto namin ipa-add (2 months old) para ma-upload na din namin yung birth cert & passport niya under his name. Pero sabi nung nakausap ko sa phone, pwede naman daw upload kasama nung mga documents ko (principal applicant).

Au_Vic · June 2017

@biboy329 I am surprised that immi is taking so long to process your applic. majority of the cases I know, they got their visas in 1-2 weeks after lodging a complete application.

Yes, you can upload documents for your baby so the CO can process the application all in one go.

biboy329 · June 2017

@Au_Vic Finally we were contacted by a case officer (4 months after lodgement)! My baby is also already added to my immiAccount so all good for now.

Thank you for all the help!

jiomariano · June 2017

@biboy329 Hope all goes well and quick from here on out! Congrats Sir!

tarajen · June 2017

@ulan889, palagay ko nga, kung sa iba random ang security at employment verification, sa atin yata nataon na compulsory... kaya tayo natatagalan, anyway, hanggang walang decision we're still on the game.... kaya hope for the best and live each day as it is, focus sa work and other things ang application natin anjan lang yan, hehe

biboy329 · June 2017

Thank you @jiomariano @tarajen ! Assessment in Progress na din yung status nung sa amin; sana nga tuloy-tuloy na!

Ganyan na lng din ginagawa ko @MikeYanbu hehe. Hindi na lng namin iniisip kasi if it's meant for us, then yun ang mangyayari hehe.

Good luck and God bless sa ating lahat!

EverythingisAUsome · June 2017

Good Evening,

I have a question lang. Sa Record of Responses ko sa Application Form for lodgement, nailagay ko less than 3 years work experience sa Duration of Employment in Nominated Occupation. Pero sa Employment History and evidences, complete naman prinovide ko to support na more than 3 years ako. Kailangan ko ba magsubmit ng Form 1023.

Also, if may job na ginamit ka for assessment, dapat mo ba siya isama sa pagclaim points for employment outside Aus?

Help guys. Para makapagsbumit ako ng Form 1023 agad. Thank you.

jiomariano · August 2017

@biboy329 Sir parang kelan lang nung nagaalala tayo sa lack of CO contact nyo pero ngayon may grant na kayo! Sana kami din! All the best!

biboy329 · August 2017

thank you @jiomariano and sa lahat ng tumulong! i guess wala talagang pattern or system sa pag-process and pagbigay ng grants kaya talagang maghihintay lang. napansin ko iba din yung unang CO ko doon sa nakalagay sa grant letters.
