SMC Applications submitted in [ February 2019 ]( 02 -2019) :cheers

I've been informed by call center (I really needed to drill this out of him or he wasn't going to tell me), that my application has been sent to a medical assessor for my partner's health concerns. After so long again waiting now this. It makes us so anxious. I wonder if we are looking at days, weeks or even months delay because of this?

I just wonder why the call center officers are so unhelpful lately. Why couldn't he tell me this straight away. He kept saying with co for processing. It takes 24 months for applications to be processed etc... But I just felt there was something off with my application so I kept asking. Then he started to say "well it depends from application to application for example yours has been sent to a medical assessor.." Well it would have been nice if he would have told me that immediately when I asked for an update.

Even when I specifically asked if my co was waiting on something before she could proceed he didn't want to tell me about the medical assessor.

Yanco,
You ll hear postive things soon. Do you think INZ call center has access to every detail about your application? Like if it’s with CO and under process , what CO is looking for or is waiting for some stuff / verification?

That all depends on what the CO has or has not already entered on the computer, and how much looking the call answer does, of course - obviously some are better than others.

Agreed, I just posted personal experience of my friend who struggled to get update from INZ but INZ provided irrelevant/ old information
