08/09 Budget News

Had this emailed to me from an agent:

12 occupations added to the Migration Occupations in Demand List!
Almost 300,000 additional permanent and temporary visas announced in the 2008/09 Budget

Hopefully the extra places will speed up the process.

That's good and bad news really.

On the positive side, more occupations will mean that more people have the opportunity to live in Oz. On the downside, they don't have the capacity to process the current demand for visas so increasing the number of places is only going to slow things down even further. The backlog is already over 6 months long. They should increase the processing capacity before deciding to increase the demand. It astounds me that it takes 9-12 months to process a visa application.

Hi, If you want to know what occupations have been added to the new list see the post in Migrations Issues I made called Immigration Update, I did it a couple of days ago.
