Hi barker could you please advice on that if you have any info.?

 I'm not a MA, but this is the information the DIBP has put out as of November 2017, in which they state they have not stopped processing at any time. 

RSMS and ENS processing

RSMS and ENS processing times are currently being affected by a number of factors – including:

  • the high on-hand RSMS/ENS caseload, which is further exacerbated by a particularly high number of lodgements in recent months (note: more than 16,000 applications were lodged in June 2017 alone, which is equivalent to approximately four months of average application lodgements)
  • there are increased levels of non-genuine applications or applications with integrity concerns which require a higher level of scrutiny and
  • incomplete visa application lodgements.

At no point in time has processing stopped on these cases and the Department is continuing to work through the on-hand caseload as fast as possible.

Note: Applications lodged more recently may be allocated for assessment ahead of older applications to facilitate more efficient processing of the pipeline and reduce processing times.

So I have some not so great news from my agent.....

DE and Nom Oct 2016, Office Manager, QLD. Here's what he said. 

In relation to your email, we have many people emailing us concerned about the changes in March 2018 (and rightly so).

 

We are unsure what is going to happen at this stage or what occupations will and will not be on the RSMS list.

 

There have been recent changes to the postcodes for Regional Areas (which is a time of decision requirement). This recently happened with pending Perth applications which was a regional area until 17 November 2017. However, the Immigration Department has provided that people with an RCB approval and who lodged prior to 17 November 2017 will not be affected by this change. Therefore, these people have been grandfathered. The reason I use this example is that I hope Immigration will do the same for people who may have their occupation removed in March 2018 and who have lodged their visa prior. However, I do not know if this can or will be done.

 

To answer you question direct - you may be affected if Office Manger is removed and Immigration do not grandfather prior lodged applications. However, we will only know the changed once informed by Immigration or once the changes take place.

 

Unfortunately, I cannot assist any more that this L

 

I am hoping your application will be assessed prior to March 2017 based on our current applications being processed.

They should also allow to complete the 2 year work requirement for DE from date of application if the applicant is already working for the employer... otherwise 2 years to wait for the application process and then 2 other years to work for the same employer... not fair!
