immediate cut of skilled migrants!

**Dawny** · 29-10-2008, 02:17 PM

Recieved email today from the casework manager, stating that the Australian government is to review the no of skilled migrants from july 2009-2010,however the opposition party in Australia are calling for immediate cut by 50,000 skilled migrants now!!

They then say we are advising that you pursue as quick a visa lodgement as soon as possible, in order to avoid any potential delays to your migration that could be caused by DIAC.

an official notification of whether any migration cuts will be made by DIAC in november. ( so she went on to advise that we fill in all forms ready to go as soon as practicle is hopefully passed so it can be lodged!!)

No not yet but she has sent us all the DIAC forms that she wants us to fill in ready to go, o/h hasn't done vetassess practicle yet, and we already have a c/o, so all seems really fast,

Hi - we got the same e-mail today but it said not to worry. My OH (electrician) is waiting to see whether he has passed his written assessment so that he can go on to do the practical in Feb 09. Our agent has e-mailed us all the appropriate visa forms so that we can get those filled in ready to submit once he has passed his practical. So fingers crossed the application is submitted before June 09 but like I say the agent said not to worry/panic.

They just want to get your application in so there is no disappointment like the pathway d
fiasco
although pathway d was instant and didnt matter if you had lodged it or not
they may cut numbers but not by many
