Hi There,
The applicable legislation is the one that is enforced at the time of lodgement of the application. If the occupation was on the SOL when the application was lodged by the person, then the person has met that requirement regardless of whether or not a case officer is allocated. Thus, in this person's case you have mentioned, the processing will go as normal!
Hope this helps and thanks for the welcome
