grada Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi We applied for 475 Visa in December 09 with SS from Queensland with wifes occupation as Pre-Primary School Teacher. This was not on CSL/MODL and had resigned ourselves for the 2-3 yr wait while those on CSL took priority. Just checked the new SOL list and Pre-Primary Teacher is still on there, does this mean that they will continue to process those applications in the pipeline that are on the new SOL as normal? Hope someone may be able to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope someone may be able to help! The new SOL does not play much of a role in priority processing. If your profession is on the new SOL, it means that you can apply for PR (if you have already not done so) and if you meet the other requirements. However, if your occupation is on the SMP and if you have applied to the state who has your occupation on their SMP, then we are hoping that you will have priority processing. So, you have to look out for the SMPs since you have already applied for your visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grada Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Cheers, that makes sense. I'll keep an eye on the SMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lindyverm04 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi Just a quick question, does anyone know when the SMPs are due to be released? :frown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grada Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Not sure, but the new SOL comes into effect 1st July, so not sure how long it will take for SMP's to follow. We were told by QLD government that our Sponsorship application was assessed on the list when we submitted or SS application (April 09), we did not recieve SS till Dec 09 which is when we submitted visa app, so they were OK sponsoring us even though the occupation had been taken off the list while we were waiting. I guess when our visa application is assessed it will be under current SMP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jane1991 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi Just a quick question, does anyone know when the SMPs are due to be released? :frown: They become operative from 1st July but going by the past record you could expect a few days delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
