July 16, 2010

Hi Guys, I just got the repsonse from WA regard query about SMP. I have posted the response the below,it is quite standard answer but I still hope it would give us some hope....Good luck to our Cat 5 appls!

The Government of Western Australia would like to advise the following;

The Off-list nominations for the 2009/2010 program year have been allocated. Allocations for the 2010/2011 off-list have not yet been finalised.

The signed agreement with the form 1100 can be scanned and emailed to migration@dtwd.wa.gov.au clearly marked “Signed Agreement and 1100 – Applicant Name and SMT/R reference number “ in the subject line of the email. If you have already done this please do not send it again.

The six-monthly survey process required as part of state sponsorship approval is currently suspended. You will be contacted when the surveys resume in late August 2010. Change of address details can be emailed to migration@dtwd.wa.gov.au clearly marked with “Applicant Name, SMT/R reference number and DoB.” If you have already done this please do not send it again.

All Cat 5ers

Congratulations this week to lp1664

Looks like lp1664 had a CO prior to Sept 09 - congratulations lyndon and thanks for letting us know - it is wonderful to see even these few visas trickle out.

Hurray all the May 2010 applicants now have got their SS... Phew!

I will include a new category in the details below highlighting anyone with a CO after 1st July probably in italics and maybe a new colour (I don't think anyone waiting has a CO at the moment?). Who will be the first?

Just seen the latest priority timeframes from ASPC (14 July) and it suggests that the previous categories and time frames still hold ie"unlikely that your application will be finalised within 3 years of the date of the application."

Hi Tash, can you update our details.

Finally after a 16 week long wait we finally got our ACT SS email to grant our sponsorship.

Looks like today is gonna be a good day. It is OH's birthday, we both have the day off work and we are going for a scan at the hospital to meet our new little baby who's is due in Jan 2011.

Now we just need to work out how we switch from 176 family to 176 ss with DIAC so we can be officially Cat5 from family. Can anyone let me know how to do this? We lost our agent a few weeks back to liquidation so now going it alone.

Cheers

Claire

Congratulations !!! Finally the long wait is over and now you can wait in peace for the best thing to happen in Jan 2011 :biggrin:

Also, good luck for the rest of the process.

claireg · July 16, 2010

Hi

Does anyone know if I have to advise DIAC of change of circumstances that I am pregnant or do I just wait until the baby is born and then add to the visa? Very much doubt we will get the visa or even get meds requested before Jan 2011 so our new addition can be added to our app.

Did start a separate thread the other day, had 108 views but not one response so hoping that someone on this thread can advise me.

Hi Claireg

We had a baby after submitting our Visa, we didn't tell DIAC but when our little bundle turned up we had to get a passport done for him (very funny taking a passport piccie of a bubba) then we could add him to our application ...we couldn't add him until he had a passport number.

Hope this helps a little

Hey all,

Has anyone read George's post on the sub-forum - seems like another wait may be in store.....

"Bad news for those waiting for their SMP to be finalised, the Prime Minister is said to be calling the election for 28 August - Gillard tipped to call election tomorrow - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) and http://www.smh.com.au/national/gilla...ml?autostart=1 . Starting dates may now be closer to 1 October unless some sort of State/Federal consensus emerges urgently."

It's one thing after the other at the moment.....1st July......15th July.......1st August....1st October......two weeks.....2-4 weeks......keep an eye on this website....keep an eye on that website....will the information we need EVER come out???

It's so upsetting and hard to keep up.... 3yrs on and guess what.....still waiting!! I am now 'The Master' at waiting!! :SLEEP:

It's rubbish how they keep pushing the dates back and back.

I think though for those of you who have now been waiting on Cat5 or 2/3 years this will give the DIAC people perhaps more time to process Cat5 queue and you won't be getting shoved further down the queue with lots of new Cat2 SMP apps being lodged. Perhaps some of you will get your visas in the coming months before SMP is brought out. Good luck to all those waiting so long

Claire

July 17, 2010

Mmmm

Not sure if this is positive or negative for us guys...

Hopefully it will give DIAC more time to process through some of the Cat 5 visas. It would be really good to see some of the dinosaurs move off the waiting list.

Lets hope someone gives DIAC the OK to process a load more Cat 5s in the meantime.

Come on DIAC we could do with a few more dinosaurs becoming extinct!

I doubt they would get through all of us as imagine the states will be screaming if they are told all their work was in vein and the SMPs will not come out for ages due to the election. The SMPs were hoped to be out August-ish maybe they will get them signed off earlier rather than later and before the election??

We wait again to see how we will be affected...

I really hope so too but I think that they are trying to finish processing the max CSL applications before the SMPs are in effect. This is also probably the reason for the SMP delay.

I think this is good news for some and not so good news for ther others.

Hi Claire according to the official line you have to notify of all changes in circumstances, it won't hurt you to send a quick email to let them know. I recently did the same thing to tell them my wife was pregnant, they did respond, which was nice:biggrin:.

Thanks for the advice, did you just send an email to aspc or via the PLE form online?

Thanks

Claire

July 18, 2010

Yes just filled the PLE form in, the reply was along these lines

Thank you for your email in relation to your visa application under Australia's General Skilled Migration program. Once granted permanent residence, if you were to have your baby in Australia, the baby would automatically be an Australian Citizen at birth and is entitled to an Australian passport.

Yours sincerely
