I'm not sure but our agent emailed our CO Monday and we got the grant
letter today so sometimes I think it can be worth a go if all the docs
have been with them for a while. I think you just don't need to do it
too often.

My situation might be different, because I applied inside Australia. But
in my case, I had called my CO 3x in the last six months and each time,
he was friendly and accommodating. I never got a sense that my calls
were unwelcome. He was always helpful.
