Guest dragsterwish Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I just login now and cud get time to read thoroughly, Can anybody shed some light that where i am standing now amid of these changes??????????? My occupation is on the new SOL list and have victorian SS. Waiting since Dec 2007....when these changes come into affect???????????????? and wat priority i shall get????????????? When the SMP is released & your occupation is in the SMP, you'll be in Cat. 2. Otherwise, you'll be in Cat. 3 as your occupation is in the new SOL. Hope the SMP brings you luck!:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dragsterwish Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hey All subscribers to the Category 5 thread, the Category 5 doesn't exist!! You'll only be transported to category 2 upon release of the State Migration Plans. (You still have a chance to get into the priority if your occupation is on the SOL). Very true.... Cat 5 has been divided into Cat. 3 & 4...... until the release of the SMP. Then some will be in Cat. 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi i thought you can only become prority 2 from 3 or 4 if you start a new application and pay a new fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GemandJay Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 but won't us oldies have to re-apply to get bumped up to Cat 2?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JK2510 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 yes i think thats what it say and you have to pay a new application fee and meet all the new requirments Our agent said perhaps it will be a short form but not have to go to the state and reapply again.

taniaholmes Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Our agent said perhaps it will be a short form but not have to go to the state and reapply again. That would be good but i am sure you have to pay a new application fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JK2510 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 That would be good but i am sure you have to pay a new application fee Another fee!!! Are we paying for their xmas night out!!!

Guest rupani Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 That would be good but i am sure you have to pay a new application fee You mean fee to DIAC? No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VickyMel Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I hope at least current 176 applicants on SS won't have to pay a fee to become 176 SMP. I think that is bad form all round that anyone who has applied for a visa cannot switch. If DIAC can keep changing the priorities surely the very minimum they should permit is applicants who are eligible to jump hoops to be able to show that they meet the new criteria as well as the old ones without having to pay yet another fee. I imagine its to try and put people off switching - because that probably cause DIAC problems with the amount of people switching to SS in the past - unlikely to work again as we are all desperate to be there we are likely to pay. Problem is we paid once - we pay again to get through the next hoop - problem is will we get the visa before the hoops go higher again (as they probably will as people who can apply and fill all the spaces, or when the points system or whatever other changes they still have in mind) and we have to pay again to be considered in the next top priority? Yep looks like we are paying for parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
