2015DEC187 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I think they have reached the occupation ceilings and we will only see more grants in July. . . Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie Bedford Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I think that rule was before there that you need 2 year's experience if you have cert 3 but don't need experience if holding cert 4 Yeh my partner has 10 years experience but it's all offshore (in England) we got told that the new law that came in means all offshore experience no longer counts?? Confusing. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015DEC187 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 So did I but if they allow eg. 150 000 applicants a year and they have reached that limit. Will 187 still be approved? Isnt Employer sponosored included in that total of the migration planning? Really not sure how it works but it sure seems to be that way as there have hardly been any approvals on 186 either Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's defintely slowed down a lot which is disheartening. I hope it isn't this way for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming once it speeds up again there will be another backlog because of the financial year end. If only they could post correct time standards or at least explain how the processing works to prepare us. Everybody is living in limbo, employers are waiting for staff. Even the 457 seems to be delayed and there are people waiting 10+ weeks for this so this is not even an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpionix Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I just spoke to an MA about the slow down. She said that things are moving especially slowly and the reasons are as follows: 1) because we are coming to the end of the financial year and they will be meeting their quotas for the number of visas that can be granted - I asked if that applied even with visas like the 187 where we are in the transition stream etc and she was of the opinion that it does. Also that there are an influx of applications at the end of a financial year - people trying to get in done in this year, so that might also have an effect. So things should pick up after the beginning of July. However, she also said that the fact that we are about to have a general election will also be slowing things down, because there is no minister in charge of immigration and uncertainty about who is going to get in and what changes they will make will also be having a toll on speed.

QLD1872015 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Let's just be grateful for any grants we do see before July as it will reduce the amount to go when things pick up speed again ☺️ The influx of applications before the end of financial year shouldn't affect us, it should affect when june and July 2016 is processed.

Visa grants generally slow down at this time of year for two reasons: - as DIBP nears the planning levels (there's no legal cap on the number of most visas, but they do have quotas) they will slow down the processing. Then in July there is often a spurt of grants. - there is often a higher number of applications submitted in advance of any fee hike or change in visa criteria. I've never heard any credible source that suggested the election has anything to do with it. Peter Dutton is still the Immigration Minister, and while an election may impact who sits at his desk it wouldn't cause a change in the legislation or policy until after the election.
