How about if you have a question you want to ask the department ?
It's little bit complicated and misinterpreted by most us and then spread like a rumour that DIAC will record a negative point against you if you contact them frequently that why he/she is so desperate and blah blah blah!!!
Friends that's all a myth, the truth is that you can contact DIAC as and when required as DIAC itself supports a clear channel of communication and transparency, in saying that please do not forget that if the reason for your call is a repetitive question that has been answered for you in the past, you are not doing any good for yourself rather than having a little bit of relief that "yessss i spoke to Immigration today and i am still in it", and whatever feeling that comes to your mind after you speak to them.
During my application process I too was very keen to speak to an officer every now and then but initially I too was scared for n number of reasons but THE BOTTOM LINE IS "IF THERE WAS NOTHING TO HID THEN THERE IS NOTHING TO BE SCARED OF",
On the contrary if there was something to hide then just pray to god because they will sooner or later find out and you may get deported. I am not trying scare the sheet out of you but all I am saying is SPEAK TRUTH AND FORGET EVERYTHING.
Now coming back to the "contacting the department", point, so as per my IQ you can and you must call the department if : (For the reasons mentioned below it's advisable that you use the forms I have mentioned but in the end it's your discretion if listening the same information form a living person after waiting for few hours on hold, then call them)
1. You think you may have made a mistake in your application and now you want to rectify it, there could be things like your marital status, any piece of information that you may incorrectly provided and you are aware of it now and want to do the right thing then go for it, DIAC loves to have correct information coming from the applicants rather than turning it in to an investigation that may be used against you. Use the form 1022 for it the link is http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1022.pdf.
2. Change in your address or passport details
If you need to change your address, contact details or passport details then use http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/929.pdf
3. Also see this form: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1193.pdf
All in all, please remember that DIAC has a sheet loads of application to catch up with and your application is most important for you only but for DIAC they have to follow a fair policy and allocate files as per their directives and ministerial instructions. Also in the past there is history of immigrants coming on a skilled visa that was in shortage but the moment people were granted the visa they opt out and do something else.
RESIULT: The skill remained in shortage and DIAC was shocked that what the hell just happened, we have thrown in millions of visas and why the fruck the skills are still in shortage, so there you go.
Anyone reading this blog, I can guarantee, will have some questions to ask themselves. But by all means I am not here to judge individual circumstances as we all go through different phases of life and each situation is different and I value and respect all of them.
Moral of this post is that be transparent and don't be scared of calling DIAC if you have a valid reason and that cannot be resolved or addressed by writing to them via a method of genuine form system in place.
PLEASE DO NOT CALL THEM TO ASK WHEN WILL MY FILE BE ALLOCATED AS THE ANSWER WILL BE THE SAME and that please log in online and keep a track of your application, you will be notified if gets allocated.
Cheers and good luck to all
