Donāt listen to people who just want to spread false info. Thanks for that screenshot Alex, however as you can see this is a general document from DIBP and does not address whether the changes affect undecided applications. The "Who is affected?" simply designates the target audience of the circular. I don't think you can rely on one word (prospective) to make a presumptive claim. Technically anyone who currently has an application pending is "prospective". As I have previously posted, their internal documents as of now state that if the nominated list (legislative instrument) changes, the application cannot be approved. We need to wait for updated information to see how they will proceed. I'm not spreading false information, rather to the contrary. People need to be aware of all the issues so they can be prepared for any contingencies that arise.

Leo RMA Brisbane Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 On 05/11/2017 at 13:38, barker said: Once again, I think that saying that the rules do not apply without an official update from the department is misguided. Here's my post from last month that seems to have been ignored, keep in mind this is from the PAM3 which the department decision makers use as their "brain". The thing is if nothing changes this is their current line of thinking. I have underlined and bolded the most important part which is "If the nominated occupation is not listed on the current legislative instrument at the time of making the decision, the nomination cannot be approved." Ā Hello Barker, Thank you for sharing the updated PI with us. Please note that the most current PI (previously called 'PAM 3' ) was issued onĀ 27 July 2017, which means all applications lodged on or after 27 July 2017 will be affected by this new instruction, but the previous ones will not. Please correct me if any faults. Ā Cheers Ā Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So once again, it's all up to the person interpreting the law and making policy. The dates don't make a huge difference if they decide to change something.Ā Several MA's have commented that there is some disagreement about the policy vs. law, but to be honest no one really knows for sure how the department will interpret the law until they announce it. The best guess I've heard is people "should" be unaffected but this is just a guess.Ā Ā Edited November 10, 2017 by barker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guriboparai01 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hello Barker, Thanks for some really informative posts. If there is not such a thing that if new rules will affect the the ongoing applicants then there is noĀ point of giving the march 2018 for change . One thing more if they will approve if the nominated occupation needs to be on legislative instrument at the time of decision then what measure should the applicant follow to apply visas? Because if your occupation in not in list you can't apply and if you appliedĀ Ā then you are not sure that at the time of decision your occupations stays in sol or not..... very unfair.......
