Update on Priority Processing

[SOMV]

Hello,

 

We have received some further clarification about the processing of some applications which may not be on the CLS, MODL or State Sponsored, but may nevertheless be prioritised. Apologies if this has already been posted and I am repeating things, but I thought it may be useful to know:

 

 

"DIAC has advised that there are three exceptions to the GSM priority processing:

 

1. Application remitted by the MRT;

 

2. Offshore GSM applications where the applicant is in Australia and has been sent a letter advising that a decision is about to be made and they should go offshore;

 

3. Applications where the applicant is claiming the $100,000 designated investment bonus points.

 

[There would probably be few cases in these last two categories.]

 

In these three situations, even if the applications are not in the priority processing categories, (that is, they are not State Sponsored, CSL or MODL), they will be processed quickly. They will not be put in the non-priority category.

"

 

Cheers,

Veronika
