And even if they don't give your money back, that's what we have chosen. The money we paid was the risk we TOOK for getting VISA

I don't need to add anything else.

Hey

Got may CO. I am 18th March email holder.


I am from a HR country ( September 2010 applicant ) and got my CO on 08/06/2011. Everything was met except Form 80 . Then I uploaded the form 80 which shows Met in online status.

Then my agent informed that my application is now in routine check by external agency . Itz may take several months.

I think no body knows How and what is executed by external agency for security. Caz itz top secret matter. If any body have any idea about external agency check please share.

Thanking you.

INCUDING that 'the number of slots simply filled up'. But that said, DIAC is a very customer oriented organization. I am simply concerned about the current delayed processing because of changes that are even beyond DIAC's control: ministrial decrees and suches.

I understand ur concern, but in today's call I asked her as whether there has been delay in past few weeks in CO allocation and she said yes there is. Then I asked what's the reason behind it, she said she is not allowed to discuss the internal working but be rest assured that ur application will no have a serious impact due to this. Max it might delay for couple of weeks from 18 June!

Hope this info helps!
