[cherhan]

wonder should I call them or what and I am afraid that might affect my progress. But I really need to know the ETA as I need to inform my uni and plan for my travel to renew my passport. Or I need to apply for Bridge B, etc.

[QUOTE=mau;1935877248]hi kk so you apply for tr first so how long are u in australia did they take long time for your tr for me i applied in 2008 and received it in may 2010 so terified for the decision tomorrow hopefully as you said no big changes cheers

Dont worry man I don't think there will be many changes.Even if they change rules it will not going to implement on current applicants who have already lodged PR.The only barrier we might face is time period of processing which doesn't really matter because at the moment it's still the same.An average Cat 5 has to wait for 3 years.I reckon we will hear positive news especially for off shore applicants.Time period for Priority 5 applicants will most probably be much quicker from this month.I think they will start offshore family sponsored in August 2012.lets see just hope for the best

is anyone have any idea?

if any one get co officer allocated, and their application on final stage (Just waiting for AFP). it that effect to new priority group application
like they introduce new sol and csol list and instroduce skillselect which get highest priority in all group.

what happen with the application with priority group 5, who get co already?

Nothing will happen mate.It apparently looks like a big drama with new financial year but you will see inside there won't be many changes.We will hear good news regarding cat 5 family sponsored offshore.As I said before even if there are changes it will not affect current applicants.I am sure in your case as soon as your CO will receive your AFP ,you will get your grant...
