Australia NZ Migration Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Thanks Mona, I appreciate the reply. So just to confirm if the occupation is removed then the person will not drop down to a lower priority group? No, it would be processed as normal !

CaptainC Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 DIBP official Twitter account says that the SOL will be available AFTER 1st July. Doesn't specify how long after though :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainC Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 From the Immi Gov website: Planned System Outage – from 9pm Friday 26 June until 8am Saturday 27 June 2015 AEST (GMT +10). The current time in Canberra is: 13:52 PM, 23 June. I guess they will be doing essential maintenance and possibly updating the SOL over this period, too. The site and immiaccount etc is back up and running.....sadly no update to SOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indianinoz Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 So the wait continues!!! When is the first invitation round for the next year? Is it 3rd July Friday? Surely they have to release the SOL before the first invitation round!!! Question: Has the immigration policy for 15-16 been released? Or is that also expected to release with the SOL? For example the new SOL will tell me whether or not accountants continue to be a source of skilled migration and no. of vacancies for accountants. But the immigration policy will tell me whether the criteria is still minimum of 60 points and what is the break up of these points....

I expect that we will all just have to be patient and wait for 1st July. I know it's frustrating but it might help to try to forget about it for a week!
