I understand that CO does not have updated info. Since we have few applicants from march got assigned CO and I am a 1st march applicant but no CO (after talking to INZ call center), my question is since we talk to INZ call center and provide our details to know whether we have a CO or not so the information which call center employees receive fortnightly is irrelevant because they are viewing our files real time. So it means the system takes time to reflect CO in your file.
My understanding that our SMC files are "physical" files and they are "picked" by officer or maybe some one puts them on CO's desk . Once the CO has had a look on it they may be updating that in system and that is what the call centre guys see.
So chances arte that your file may be on deskbut not yet picked by CO to update in system. This is just a speculation and my logic of how the system may be working.

Is there any update of what date they are allocating CO? Also, just a question what if I got CO for smc but my variation has no decision yet. What will happen?
965 applications waiting for CO between 1 Feb to 15 May.
975 applications were allocated in August and 601 in July
