raymp Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Au emabssey assigned a case office to my wife. 2 Months after lodging the aplication. I have read 4 months is a normal time frame for a CO. Can anyone comment on the usual time frame ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 if in the title you used words instead of abbreviations you might get some replies. Should only use abbreviations if you are sure the others know what they mean. Also which Embassy should be in the title, this will help you get replies. the guys from the visa places will be online soon they can certainly help.

ThaiVisaExpress Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Are you talking about Australian visas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymp Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Well excuse me for abreviations. I presumed every one knows CO is Case Officer and AU is Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 My own personal opinion is that case officers are being allocated quicker to files than previously, but processing times have increased. Perhaps the Embassy has a new system in place where applications are allocated to CO's ASAP but standard operating times apply. Who knows??

canuckamuck Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I thought it was carbon monoxide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyoldman Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I thought it was carbon monoxide. Agreed, the OP shouldn't get snippy at the one poster who advised he shouldn't abbreviate in the subject line. Didn't know <deleted> he was on about.........

Will27 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Perhaps the OP should've gotten the message when nobody replied to his post on 8 July titled. "How Long To Wait For A Co?" And OP, even if somone knows what CO stands for, how about putting the country in the heading? Regards Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Well excuse me for abreviations. I presumed every one knows CO is Case Officer and AU is Australia CO could be anything, AU could be Austria. Perhaps you should have read PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE POSTING Which country? before posting. Topic titled amended to include Australia. I've also closed the OP's other topic to avoid duplication.

In the letter the CO did say 10 months so maybe we got in early enough in May with the application to avoid the longer processing times. Also when we lodged the spouse application we lodged a visitor app at the same time. Before the visitor was approved they asked for a medical and police clearance for the spouse visa before they would approve the visitor visa. Then they phoned and said only a 3 month visitor is approved because we want you back in 4 months for an interview. A lot of ifs and buts but at least now with the case officer it is moving forward. The only additional document asked for is a thai birth certificate for my wife, Another maybe is that she has had 2 visitor visas now since we married, so maybe that helps speed up the process of a spouse visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
