> The approximate processing time for Skilled Migration applications is

> regional categories. For all other categories the approximate
> processing time is 9 months.

> Just hope the timescales are realistic and glad we know someone

Dont think it is a case officer. My acknowledgement was from a lady,
with no job title, but I have just received a CO today and it
specifically shows her title, i.e case officer.
