Priority 3 (now Priority 4) Applicants club

[Achilles]

DIAC update dates difference :

Present: Applicants who lodged a GSM application before the following dates have been contacted by a case officer

Before: Applicants who lodged a GSM application before the following dates have been allocated a case officer. Please wait for at least 6 weeks for the CO to contact you.

That is a huge difference and today's update of september 9, 2010 is not too bad considering the above..

Boo hoo, I was thinking the same thing. I guess, I better stop my obsessive checking of the status of my application until at least January! My agent has also told me that it is unlikely that I will have an visa before early next year.

I'm applying for jobs in Oz though and managed to land an interview for a position in Oz and another for a position in New Zealand. Let's hope at least one of those transpires into a offer (I live in hope!).

Hi Lawrence. I sincerely hope that we'll get our case officers soon, but I'm slowly starting to doubt it... Let's hope I am wrong...
