Looks like luck factor does contribute in the processing period

I've tried to add a signature with my timeline, haven't been allowed to add one until now.

It seems to be quite a lot of luck in the process; my boyfriend applied a week before me, works in the same industry with a similiar job and is from the same country, but I still got a CO before him. Not sure if it matters that we were in Australia on vacation during January, we informed DIAC, but I guess that should have affected both of our applications.

20% of them (10-15) are inactive as I tried to send them private message,
No of them replied and many don't have account in this forum they just added entry.

so don't worry..

Maybe the CO sent a mail using a standard template. Get the PCC done and keep fingers crossed for the grant soon after.

Hi Rakesh, I have a friend with same case as yours. Her medicals and PCC were uploaded months ago before she was assigned with case officer. When the CO contacted her, she was advised to take her medical. Glad that before she pursued her 2nd medical , the CO grant her visa. Maybe the CO did not notice that her medicals were uploaded already. I think it's better to reconfirm with your CO and if she/he is aware that you have already done your meds. Make sure that your med ical did not lapse the 1 year period.

Hi Guys,
Its been 2 months since a case officer has been assigned to my application. Does any one has any clue about the current trend of backgroud-checks for Pakistani applicants?

If I get a job offer in Australia while my background checks in progress will it help my application to be processed quicker?
