Bluecatcollectables replied to yc1ten's topic in Visa Chat
Hi Without_Logic (like your username ;o) I too have filed for a 'Refund', not that we will receive all our money back. Nothing up to now. My agent says it will take a while (why am I not surprised?!) I'll let everyone know when I have more news. A very disappointed ex Cat 5'er who had been waiting since December 2008 (Marketing Executive, Fluent in both German and English, sponsored by my sister in Oz, IELTS pass rate = 8 in academic English, BA (Hons) Degree and Btec Diploma qualified- but apparently not good enough for Australia ....) Sigh! -

Thank you very much for this valuable information George. I personally feel that after a year or so DIAC might even start relaxing their tight immigration laws, because they will find the number of migrants declining. This is due to a) their strict requirements b) their extraordinary high house prices and c) the high Australian Dollar Exchange rate. It is all a great disadvantage to any prospective migrant. Anyway, we will see. Let us hope all Cat 5's will get allocation and visas in the end.

Hi, I've been in the visa queue for 3.5 years plus, due to the constant changes DIAC imposed. I believe this was mainly due to political input etc. Anyway, during all this time I've had fantastic support from my Migration Agent - MIGRATION EXPERT. You have one initial consultation telephone call in which they recommend the best visa for you etc. If I remember rightly our initial call lasted over 1 hour. After that they have a website and you log in to ask questions. You normally get answers within 1 day. So definitely worth choosing them. The cost they charge is comparative to others. Their website is: http://www.migrationexpert.com. Good Luck with your application (no doubt you will not have the wait I had :cute:

Always the eternal optimist - (remember me VB all the way back, when I predicted that we will get our day :cute:) I recon the next update will be 20 November ! Good Luck to All!

Glad to see people still have their sense of humor! Nice one:laugh:

my guess, if I may, is 14 July

Totally agree with you. Keep the STATUS QUO! Please, please, please NO MORE CHANGES!!!!!!!! - after 3 1/2 years of waiting and all the ups and downs, I, quite frankly, am sick to the back teeth of them! As everybody on here, I am a quite legit applicant and all I've ever asked for is a FAIR DEAL! Come on DIAC, keep up the good work and to all you politicians reading this forum, please, please, please let them carry on with their jobs and the good progress they are making.:realmad:

Not that OLD HAT again.... plllleeeeaaaaaseee!!!! Cat 5 off-shores will be processed, and not too far off either I recon! They are currently processing Cat 5 onshore, and I've got to know on Cat 5 forum that one on-shore Cat 5 has got his CO and he is from Sept 08! DIAC are moving very fast indeed. Anyway the queue keeps getting smaller - just look at their allocation tables on their website!!! Come on All Cat 5's!!!!! Good Luck to us all :hug:

Totally agree with what you've said Sekena. Why would they give new cat 4 applicants an estimated time-slot of 18 months otherwise. It is in DIAC's interest to get rid of ALL the backlog, that includes Cat 5!! There was quite a big initiative by Cat 5 applicants to take DIAC to court and they had already engaged lawyers. So I really think that DIAC believe it is actually easier to deal with the back log than to face court action and bad publicity, which would be portrayed politically by some newspapers. But in any event, I think DIAC have done wonders in dealing with the backlog. Keep up the good work DIAC and let's hope all us Cat 5 will eventually be processed.

Thank you Tania for your good work on updating us! .... Sorry I looked for the Thanks button, but that also seems to have disappeared. Do we really have to be like Facebook? (new site look) I really thought we were made of better stuff!

Always the case Tania. As soon as something works perfectly, the powers that be tend to throw a spanner into the works... Sound familiar?.... I don't like it either! The look and feel of the site has just gotten a lot gloomier. I much preferred the light and bright orange. Oh well,...
