wow that is a long time, hope you will hear something soon:)
what does your current status say? "Further Accessment"?
so you have not received any S56(request for more information)? and you have not even contacted once since you submitted your application?

I have submitted the documents required by them in September 2019 ( includes medicals)
It says Further Assessment

Hey any ideas how long before a case officer is allocated.
Applied 20th May 2020
Status - Received as of 7th August
Medical done on 4th August.
Status - Medical cleared and now with the department

Does it take long for the case officer to be allocated.

The status of my application is "received' since 25th May, got my medical done 4th August. Doe the status stay change from "received' to a new status only after a CO is assigned or can it change before that.

Hi Ujo,

I applied on 20/01/2020. I got a case officer on 19/05/2020. (asking for other documents and request ot do medical etc).
 
Hey guys! Don't lose your hopes! I must admit I started to become a bit paranoid, so I kinda let it go and try to focus in something else and not think about it too much!

My kiwi partner applied July 2018
He did the medicals September 2018
Add me as a partner (I am from Brazil) in March 2019
They asked my medicals and other stuff May 2019
They asked another police clearance for my partner (because they consider a year only) - September 2019
We heard from them in JULY 14th 2020 (after 10 months!! - I was expecting them to ask for medicals again but luckily they didn't, so they asked me another police clearance from my side because there was a mistake on my last names! - my fault tho, so it was sent a week after.
And August 18th at 11:20am they sent the invoice VAC2 to pay
We paid at 4:30pm, and 30 minutes later we received grant!

I am still in tears and so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep thinking positive, if you are paranoid just let it go cause it will happen BEFORE you know it!

Thank you guys for everything, this forum HELPED me A LOT with all the docs and process!!!

And also congratulations Liliy!!!

The processing time has shot up to 14-22 months. Bit surprised when the news was that they trying to bring it down.

Yup, I'd say definitely lose hope and forget you applied. It saves worrying about it only to not hear for two years.
