Guest dragsterwish Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Hi All, So another 3 days left and hope that DIAC will start processing Cat 5 applications from 1st JUly onwards. There are no CSL from July 1st and till now SMP declaration not came as well. Then.... DIAC have to start process Category 5 applications!!!! Satish Hi Satish, i thot there would be no CSL from July 1st onwards until i realise there could still be backlog of CSL cases (those who have applied b4 1st July) to be processed after 1st July. Anyway, hope those CSL cases are cleared fast too & then they'll process Cat 5s! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nice to see that SA have not stopped giving out SS like some of the other states! Good luck with the next part of your application. I will update your info on the front page.

Guest VickyMel Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Hi VM Hope your hols are going well and you are enjoying yourself... you have not missed too much on here!!! Only the fact that Australia are now out of the World cup... oh and Kevin Rudd is no longer Prime Minister... :shocked: They now have a lady PM!!! Funny how things can change so quickly... was not expecting that sort of news! Not sure if it will be good or bad news at the moment... we shall soon see I am sure! With your comments on the ENS... would you not consider leaving your 176 running and apply with a new application if you do get your ENS??? I have heard others saying that they are doing this in case the ENS does not work out they have a back up plan of their 176 visa... I know it will cost you another application, but it could be worth thinking about! Back in internet land at home again part way through the hols... going off agian soon... So much... yet so very little has happened here! Not too many pages to look through. Bit upset to see the new PM Gillard is not so keen on immigrants coming to Oz - although ta the same time it also has some positives later down the line if we get our visa. I wonder if some of it is political words to please the people. Yep we would certainly consider keeping the 176 going and starting a separate ENS if we got lucky. The thought of it going wrong and being refused and then having to start all this again would make that worth the extra cost I think. I'm delighted to ask you to turn us purple woohoo! :jiggy: SS granted for South Australia this morning.At last we're officially cat 5er's well for the next 3 days anyway LOL.... who knows what will happen next. Maria.x Congrats on your SS Maria - really pleased to see it came through and they are still processing. Just looking at the recent comments on the SMPs I think you will be with us a bit longer than 3 days! VickyMel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest VickyMel Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 All Cat 5ers Hi, been away on hols again (we are moving around quite locally so far and it has made sense to come home in between), off again soon... but have updated the list as I went through the pages earlier. Although we have no visas again it is good to see a few people get their SS through and move to purple at last and join the Cat 5 thread. I and I imagine everyone else are impatiently waiting to see what the next set of changes will bring us all. Hopefully - assuming the changes happen soon??? there is not much time remaining if you want to become one of this thread. Ohhh unless we all move to the SMP - if only that could be...? Congratulations this week again go to noone Remember Tasha has the full details of everyone are listed on the front page. Taz has also updated the list which shows us all in the order of when SS was granted as opposed to the date we applied (link on first page). Want to Join us? If you have applied for a Category/Priority 5 Visa (e.g. 176 or 475) and want to join us take a look at the list on the front page of this thread and post your details including the date of your application to DIAC as well as your SS received date so that Tasha can add you. Seeing the movement of Visas and COs really helps us all work out what is happening - so any lurkers out there please do feel welcome to add your details and come and chat we'd love you to join us.

clickettuk Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hi, I received the Monthly ACT Newsletter today and in the email they said the announcement of the ACT SMP was delayed until August 1st. I've just emailed them to ask whether August 1st is when ACT will give their proposed SMP to the Minister or whether August 1st is when they expect the ACT SMP to be approved and 'go live'. I heard a few weeks ago that the ACT had been 'efficient' in putting together their SMP so I suspect its DIAC who have caused the delay rather than the ACT. I'm guessing that means the SMPs of the other states could get delayed too. Will let everyone know when I get a reply. :mad: Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bindog1uk Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 For those who haven't seen my seperate thread, I have spoken to lady at Queensland Immigration this morning who told me that Queensland are nearly on track with their SMP, should be out within the first two weeks and may have some tradies on it, couldn't give any specifics though:wink:Maybe good news for once:biggrin:Lesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi proview, I hope ur right re the trades but I reckon will just be a small list of specialised jobs, please let me be wrong but sooooooo depressed today can't face to go sainsburys!!! Was kidding myself we would all cat 2 next week and visas would be granted in next few months and in Oz by Xmas at the latest!! I just got bad feeling it gona be a continuous wait and our time is running out, daughter left college last year and next one is 18 in March, can't bare the thought of being stuck here forever! We have been in rented for months now but then again its our stupid faults for being optimistic! Sorry for the depressing comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
