Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS)
The RSMS outcome in 2017–18 was 6221 places, a 39.0 per cent decrease on the 2016–17 outcome of 10,198 places – with this visa program particularly impacted by the integrity issues outlined in the executive summary.
The RSMS enables employers in regional and low population growth areas of Australia to sponsor skilled employees. The majority of persons granted an RSMS visa in 2017–18 indicated they would reside in:
• Western Australia (31.5 per cent);
• Queensland (20.1 per cent); or
• Victoria (11.2 per cent).
Demand for places in the RSMS category decreased in 2017–18, with 17,003 applications received compared to 20,236 applications in 2016–17.
The RSMS pipeline was 22,661 applicants as at 30 June 2018, an increase of 21.2 per cent (3965 applicants) compared to the pipeline as at 30 June 2017.

That is terrible acoording to your reference

Let's calculate the approval rate for both 187&186 which is 47.71% and 74.15% respectively !  Sooooo bad situation about 187

I will give how to get this terrible number above

187 approval rate calculation

firstly, we can know how many applications pipeline leaved at 30 June 2017 which is 22661-3965=18696

Also, application pipeline leaved at 30 June 2018 is 22661

finally, Demand for places in the RSMS category in 2017-18, with 17003 application received

we can get how many applications Co dealed with totally in 2017-18 which is (applications pipeline leaved at 30 June 2017 + application received in 2017-18 - application pipeline leaved at 30 June 2018)=18696+17003-22661=13038

Approval rate=The RSMS outcome in 2017–18 /applications Co dealed with totally in 2017-18=6221/13038=47.71%

Same calculate with 186

Cases pipeline in 30 June 2017 is 29842+4556=34398

Cases pipeline in 30 June 2018 is 29842

Cases received in 2017-18 is 34966

Cases dealed in 2017-18 is 34398+34966-29842=39522

Approval rate about 186=29307/39522=74.15%

I thought that they said on their announcement last week that the processing time of RSMS will be more faster now, but what happen, it all goes backwards again..

It was announced but it could start in March. Keep in mind that immigration has a big backlog to sort out and they're in the process to allocate more staff to process applications so it'll take time to start speeding up the processing

I agree with u. just believe them and people will get their visa soon.

Hi everybody, Did you hear the Immigration minister announcement last Friday? About reducing the processing time for Regional Visas and DAMA agreements between States and Federal Government with immigration officers... Here's the link with the announcement on Seven News:

LOL

They just said that they will accelerate processing time several days ago.
