Ok guys, here is an update from my end. First piece of advice, try and avoid calling them. I don't think they like it very much. Technically, it's a call center and its not that we are disturbing any VO officer and they are bound to answer a query but going by my experience today, I don't think it works that way!
So I call them up since I am on day 98 and I am still on NA and get this agent on the phone and the first thing this curt, borderline rude agent asks me is when I called last? I said i called about 3 weeks back. He asked me, what I was told last time? I said I was told my application is in background check. He then verifies my name, phone number and email and then asks me what I want to know? I said, I want to know the status of my application and if I have passed eligibility.
- He puts me on hold and then comes back after a minute and says my criminality and medical has passed.
- They are yet to do my eligibility and security.
So I was like, its day 98 and would you know why its delayed so much? He doesnt know.
I asked him which visa office is my case being processed? He says its at CIO Sydney.
I asked him, wow, its day 98. Will it take a long time then at this pace?
Killer Answer in Rude and Curt manner - Yes, it will take a long time!
Gulp.
I think I am going to forget about this and no more calls! Let it come when it has to come!
