Guest juandelacruz Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hi Tasha/Vicky, I am just really confused about the "schedules". I have read the FAQ, and I understand that I am under Priority 4. My occupation is on the new SOL, but I would have to reassess my occupation, and reaply for the visa again (and pay the fee again! :mad:). So, what schedule am I today? Number 1, right? I will have to wait for the SMPs, and if my occupation is on NSW SMP, I can consider Schedule 4? Thanks again....really confused... Hi Carolina, I think if your occupation is on Schedule 3, you are categorised as Priority # 3. I also think that this is one of the reasons why they came up with the mapping of ASCO and ANZSCO codes - for them to process the skills that are in the new SOL (Schedule 3). Logically, doing this will address the current needs of Australian employers especially at this point where the migration process is in total chaos. In addition, I have seen a number of visa grants from a couple of threads who nominated occupations/skills in the new SOL (Schedule 3). There was a Civil Engineer, Accountant and Nurse who have recently been granted visas (lodged their visas in 2008). They were no longer required by their COs to have their skills reassessed to ANZSCO but were told to re-do their medical and police checks. Hope this info helps. Cheers! :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazhoney Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hello Juan, my occupation is on the new SOL. I am an Environmental engineer. But my ASCO code is for Building engineers NEC. And through the arrangements from ASCO to ANZCO, I can´t have my occupation converted automatically.... I will have to have my skills reassessed, to be able to aply as an Environmental engineer....

cazhoney Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Thanks Juan. Since I have a SS from NSW as an engineer, I will wait until the SMP is out....if engineers are not there, then I will have to decide wether I willl aply again or not.... thanks again!

I will have to wait for the SMPs, and if my occupation is on NSW SMP, I can consider Schedule 4? Thanks again....really confused... In my opinion, the Schedules 1-4 exist only to determine on which of them your nominated occupation has or had or will have to be at time of your application. Priority processing has nothing to do with that, it "only" gets in lane the existing applications. (Please don't forget DIAC always speaks about nominated occupations and never about ASCO or ANZSCO codes.) So Schedule 3 is of course for new applicants only who want to lodge an application now or did this after 1st July 2010. Existing applicants, whose application was accepted and confirmed by DIAC prior to 01/07/2010 fall into priority group 3 if their nominated application is among the occupations listed on Schedule 3, irrespectively of that on which Schedule their occupation had to be at time of application. It is also irrelevant if DIAC identified the nominated occupation with ASCO or with ANZSCO code at time when the application was lodged, they prioritise now by occupations.

I have seen a couple of other originally 2008 applicants hit Cat 3 & get COs. Maybe they are doing it in date order (hurray) - or are saying lets clear everyone in 2008 first?

Guest pinal Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 t If they are processing by date, you should get a CO in two weeks or less. Hi eric, I not agree with you look at my time line and many other then me are waiting for a long. I am guessing there is only a limited number of Cat 3 applications:biglaugh::biggrin: As on 23rd Sep there was 3500 applicant was in category 5 and among of that only small number of applications has been processed last year. Category 3 = Remaining applications + more new + some from category 6 + some of category 6 (ii) applications. That means category 3 now became large group so, 2009 applicants can not processed faster then 2008 applications. After September 2009 still I have been waiting for CO. I will have trust, when some one among of us being contacted by CO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuching Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Hi all, I'm really confused with the current processing priority. Can you please help me? My nominated occupation is Graphic Designer, and we are sponsored by ACT I can find my occupation on Schedule 1, 2, and 4 On Schedule 2, 4 I can see that my occupation ANZSCO is 232411 Since the SMP of ACT is not out yet, so I am in Priority Category 4. Unless, my occupation is listed on SMP of ACT then I am in Priority Category 2. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats been happening to the Cat 5's since I was last on, hope there's been lots of grants specially you lot just above. Hi Stig Wonderful news to hear that you are now all set up in Oz and are back online again. We have not had many Cat 5 visas recently just a few trickly through from a while back - I will be puting the weekly update on shortly. The latest set of changes have just hit and the SMPs are still not out yet. Effectively we have now been split in two on this thread (until the SMPs come out when it will change again). There are 4 priorities now 1) ENS, 2) SMP 3) new SOL list 4) everyone else With there being no SMP lists yet those who are on the new SOL list are starting to see movement (we are eagerly awaiting the first Cat 3 CO for someone on this thread!) and the rest of us are down to Cat 4 Hopefully the SMPs will bring some more joy (but are unlikely until after the elections and then who knows when...). The good news for some is that some cat 6 & 7 guys have finally seen the light of day. I think that is about it VickyMel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VickyMel Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 All Cat 5ers Congratulations this week to Rhodieboy!!!! Probably the last Cat 5 Visa grant we will see as I don't think anyone esle was waiting under the old priorities and imagine the next batch will be under the new priorities. After that came the new Priority listing and Cat 5 is no more (although we are still here). The SMPs are still up in the air but it sounds like they won't be out until at least after the elections... the date keeps going back all the time. My second favorite thread this week (this is first of course!) is from libbysmum "who do you think will first release their smp when competition" which I can highly recommend for a bit of fun - check the front page and pick a date you think the SMPs might be released. http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/91135-who-do-you-think-will-first-release-their-smp-when-competition.html So the folks on this thread have effectively been split in two - those with SOL who are now Cat 3 and those without SOL who are now Cat 4. YET all of us are waiting for the SMPs when if we are on the SMP list we become Cat 2s... It would be great if we could all switch to Cat 2 Taz put a comment in about potentially ceasing and capping this list (sorry couldn't help but use the term!). We have smiled sweetly at her and suggested it continue a while at least until things get clearer (thanks Tasha). Remember Tasha lists the full details of everyone are listed on the front page. Key: Purple: Waiting for grant (I have highlighted in bold people who attached SS prior to 23rd Sept) Red: Visa granted & bold = granted this week Black people lost to capping and ceasing (bought in July 2010) Brown: People who have not been active in 2010- please let me know if you are in brown and I will re-activate you!

Guest icehorizon Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Hi all, I posted this one on another thread but i m not hearing back anything from anyone. I really hope someone from this thread can help me out. My nominated occupation seems to be on the new sol but its under a differerent name. This is the correlation between the two that i found from ASCO-ANSZCO correlation chart. ASCO 3122-11 Civil Engineering Associate ANSZCO 312211 Civil Engineering Draftsperson I'm not sure if it means my application will fall under cat 3 now automatically or not as the two names are different. It sounds really confusing to me. Can someone please share me what your thoughts are? Cheers, Chan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VickyMel Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Hi Chan Maybe someone will come and help - sorry I don't know for sure myself. Why not set up a new thread on the migration issues page - maybe include the word engineer in the thread title so that other people of a similar occupation might be more likely to look at your post. Good luck Vickymel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
