That 12-month "promise" came recently on Sep23. I think that's why CSL folks get assigned COs so fast.
Considering non-CSL gets delayed till at least 2012, I'm not complaining, mate.

Hi Gopal:
You or your agent need to ask DIAC if they know you are on CSL (sometimes you need to confirm that). It's been too long if you applied in Aug 08 (2 yrs in a week).
I wonder if you need new PCCs or Medicals due to the time taken by DIAC.
