Priority 3 (now Priority 4) Applicants club

And there are very few applicants in category 1,2 and 3. And if we see the table carefully, all the applicants in category 1,2 and 3 were given a fixed time of 4 weeks processing period, which I think is not a big time.

Awesome news jclem. Congrats.

[jclem]

When we received the email from our CO, it has 4 attachments. These are:

1) Request Documents or Info
2) Request for information - Detailed Information
3) Form Character reqs penal clearance certificates
4) Form 1071i Health Requirements(permanent entry)

My questions are:
1) Our online status has changed to ABPF but documents still reflect as "Required". Based on the file Request for information - Detailed Information, our CO is only requesting for medicals and PCC. Does this mean that we have already met the document requirements? It's just that CO forgot to change it to "Met".

2) In the Request Documents or Info, CO has written, "I have begun considering your application for this visa and require additional information or
documents. A summary of the information required for each applicant is provided in the attached Request Checklist. More detailed information about each of the requirements is included in the Request for Information - Detailed Information attachment."

But in his email there is no attached Request Checklist though as mentioned above, the detailed information about each of the requirements is included in the Request for Information - Detailed Information attachment. Is the checklist he's referring to the checklist in the online status of application? Or did he just forget to attach it?

3) All applicants included in the application should undergo medicals and PCC even if our CO did not specifically mention the names of those secondary applicants in his email or mention something about it? Is that correct? Because if you read his email, it sounds like only the primary applicant is required to undertake medicals and PCC for now. I hope I'm wrong.

4) Another question in the online checklist, why is it only the primary application has a passport number in the checklist? Secondary applicant has no passport number. Example:

Person 1 Name: Juan Dela Cruz
Date of birth: 01 January 1880 Passport No: AB1234567

Person 2 Name: Maria Dela Cruz
Date of birth: 01 February 1880

Is our view of the onlie checklist the same?

Sorry for the numerous questions. I will really appreciate your responses.

Hi jclem,

Even I had a similar issue. Only few additional docs where requested by the CO but all docs were shown as required. Even after giving the requested docs now, the online status of all the docs still shows as required. As mentioned by others in the forum (people who already have the grant), looks like it is up to the CO to update the online status or not and the online updates has no bearing on your grant.

As for the docs required by the CO, it would have been mentioned in the attachment "Request for information - Detailed Information" . If only the PCC / Meds are mentioned, you can assume that the rest of the docs are met and proceed to provide your meds/pcc for self and all dependents included in your application. If the CO requires any additional docs, I am sure they would get in touch with you separately.

The passport details, shown online, would also be updated only for the principal applicant and not for the dependents.

In short, your status is normal. Don't worry. Congrats and All the very best !!!

congrats! it's about time to get yourself busy with medicals & PCCs of yourself & secondary applicants. good luck!

btw, take extra time scrutinizing your checklist. all along i thought all my docs submitted were enough for proofs. to my surprise more is still being requested but it's not included on the Request for Info. only after 3 or 4 days i happened to have read it. and to think one of the docs to be included became the hardest struggle bec the bank (BPI) does not seem to realize the urgency of SOA request of my dependent. acc to them it will take 15 days to process & another 7 days to deliver to the assigned branch. most likely i will have to request for an extension from DIAC. but i am hoping i will not. phew! (this goes to everyone too. don't commit the same mistake by overlooking the checklist. is it bec of over excitement? )

oh well, nothing to be scared of as long as every doc submitted and circumstances are factual. so help me, God.

Thanks, han solo! Really appreciate your response! There are only 4 attached documents when our CO emailed us. These are:

1) Request Documents or Info
2) Request for information - Detailed Information
3) Form Character reqs penal clearance certificates
4) Form 1071i Health Requirements(permanent entry)

In his email he mentioned that a summary of the information required for each applicant is provided in the attached Request Checklist but there is no attached checklist in his email. Do you think he just forgot to attach the Requirements Checklist or he's referring to our online checklist where we check our application status?

He also said that a more detailed information about each of the requirements is included in the Request for Information - Detailed Information attachment, where only the PCC and medicals have detailed information. No other documents are explained so I assume only the PCC and medicals are the lacking documents but I want to make sure. Like you said, I did really take the time to read/scrutinize the email word per word. Hehe!
