Hello Sharmaa, I have been through this grind. NDVO doesn't attach an AEO to an old application so easily. Especially for pre Nov. 2008 applicants it's a waste of time waiting for something to happen after submitting your AEO.
I would suggest you to submit a fresh application to CIO, Sydney under the new rules. Believe me it will be processed much faster & once CIO puts it's approval stamp on the application categorizing it FSW-2, then Visa Office processes it under FSW-2 & things move comparatively faster.
We wasted 7 months ourselves waiting for the VO to prioritize our pre Nov. 2008 application under AEO, but they never did. We put a new application in the C-50 rules & it has moved much faster & expecting medicals any day now.
