General How to understand if CO is assigned or not?

That's not a guaranteed thing, it's just a tentative timeline. Many applicants needed to wait for more than that.
Hi,
I lodged my Visa application on 26 Sept, 2018 and was contacted by CO on 16 Dec, 2018 for my partner's additional documents. We replied to him on 21 Dec and haven't heard from him then. How much more time do you think he will take to grant Visa?

Hi Tejal C,
No one can predict when he/she will get grant after CO Contact.

So you have to wait for Grant. Because there are many peoples in the queue before you also.

How do we know if CO is assigned for the visa application?

It’s not possible until you have been contacted by the CO, many times status changes to visa grant without having any contact from CO.

Timeline missing
Hi mates!

I received an email from the DHA, stating that our form 80s are not properly filled and also Health Checks are missing. Sooo, does this contact mean Case officer is already assigned for our application?

Meantime, Immiaccount status changed from 'Received' to 'initial assessment'.



Hello,
Did the status change when they requested for the documents, or way before that?
I have applied 2 months ago, but it is still showing 'received'. I don't know if they allocated a CO or not.

You will not get any notification whether CO is assigned or not. CO wll only contact u in case they need further information or clarification.
For me status changed from received to initial assessment & then to finalized (direct grant). No CO contact.

If you don't have a direct contact of your CO, you have to go through the common channel (contact DHA hot line, let them know your query and they will forward that to CO if they deem it necessary.
 
Consider before posting:
  • Do not post the same thing in multiple places.
  • No personal contact and/or non-English phrase is allowed.
  • Always post in a relevant thread or open a new one.
  • Better to use the reactions in a post to congratulate/thank.
