      Post QLD State Sponsor - update - where are you now?

      Queensland State Sponsor 176 Visa - Application Timelines


      - QLD Migration website: Skilled migration to Queensland, Australia

      Everyone who wishes to add their details to the QLD SS queue can do so by adding the details of their application to the last page. I will then take this information and place it on this first page in date order, from when QLD received your application, so you can easily see who is next in line for their application to be looked at by QLD! The list of everyone is kept on the first page at all times so that it is easy to find and track.

      You can aslo check out the sticky for a new timeline monitor by grant6607. This is another great way to track what other peoples visa's are doing and well worth a look; http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/65328-new-timeline-monitor-site.html or go direct to; aussietimeline.com | Australian Visa Application Timeline Tracker


      There is also the "Final" MINI UPDATE from this thread on page 291... (updated: 04/03/10)

      04/03/10: NOTE: I HAVE NOW CLOSED THIS THREAD AS ALL QLD SS PEEPS HAVE RECD THEIR SS NOW AND HAVE MOVED ONTO THE NEXT STAGE IN THEIR PROCESS!

      __________________________________________________ ___________________
      Since the Priority Changes on 23rd September 2009 we now have two other threads for either Priority 1-4 CSL or Priority 5+ Non-CSL which you can add your details to once you gain your SS;
      Priority 1-4 for CSL'ers http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migrat...tml#post603606
      Priority 5+ Non-CSL'ers http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/70633-176-ss-non-csl-where-you-now.html

      You can also read about all the September Priority Changes and how it may affect your application here:
