Guest Wannabeoz Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I feel terribly disgusted at the Government's attitude to having absolutely no remorse for those people who possess the skills that they desperately need. Bossfishy1 was well within the parameters of a skilled worker that is even prevalent right now. If they think that he is too old, because I see no other reason, then why don't they change the age criteria ? Why don't they just reveal to us their minds on what exactly they want so that people don't go around investing hard earned money and their precious lives (which unfortunately will never be returned) on something that will never happen. This is, imo, open 'Day Light Robbery' and someone should be answerable for this. Totally agree - I feel terrible for all of you who have been capped and ceased, and I have a feeling that's what the minister has in mind for a lot of us eventually. Why don't they just tell us what they want, so we can apply with a good chance of getting a visa? If we weren't eligable, we wouldn't bother, and we would get on with our lives without the half hope we might one day move to Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 68Jose Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 very interesting, indeed. Today, after I got my letter my thought was the same. Should I get a refund or should I wait? I hope tommorrow I will have an answer from the immigration lawyer I have contacted in NSW. I'll let you know. But I wouldn't be surpriesd that this refund if accepted ...to put an end to any future opportunity to challange the decision if it will be the case. the Department played dirty and they have to get rid of so many applications. It was their defective management and negligence and now they try to "charge" offshore applicants to pay for this because they are not Australians ant this makes things easier. I am outraged at their reason to capp this appliations."easier english standardds". It was in fact their defective list. After putting my wife's and my own life on hold for 3 of my most productive years I also received my cease letter. Needless to say I feel terribly disappointed, but that's not the worst thing. I realize I'm more fortunate than others, as I'm still at the same age range I was when I applied and will remain there for one more year, my occupation is still in the new SOL, I was validated in '07 by Engineers Australia as a professional engineer and I'm confident I can score the necessary IELTS level and claim the necessary points. So I'm as sure as I was back in '07 I can gain PR under the new rules. The only difference is I'm not as naive as I was back then. After all this mess, I no longer have faith in the Australian government's ability to manage the skilled migration program in an efficient or fair way. If I get my refund money back and apply this or next year, what's to stop DIMIA from retracting on their word and changing policies all over again? Keeping my rant aside, what is currently the timespan a plain SOL applicant has to wait to gain a PR GSM visa? What options are there?

Guest Gollywobbler Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hi All I don't think the Minister for Immi realises just how much harm this nonsense will cause to his adopted country. Everybody now knows that assurances from DIAC are totally hollow because DIAC's staff are employed by a Government which is a two-faced turncoat. In 5 years' time, Australia will be whingeing that it needs to attract more skilled immigrants. It will serve them right if their pleas fall upon deaf ears. It is a shabby, shabby way for any Government to behave. Shame on Australia for behaving like one of the banana republics in the third world. Australia should be capable of far better than the present Aussie Government has shown itself to be capable of, in my view. Cheers Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As things are going out of control. Today in the morning I met a guy who applied 134 visa way back in July 2007. He was told to submit his medical and PCC two months back. And 10 days back he called DIAC and they gave him reply that processing on his file is still going on. I am totally surprised to hear this as on one hand DIAC has confirmed that they have started ceasing all these applications. Either that poor guys is lying to me or he does not know anything . And one more possibility is there that his agent is fooling him. Well, if this is true then I think the people who has been told to submit his medical and PCC in last few months will get the their visas sooner or later even if they are under the categories which will be ceased. If this is the story I am afraid this is a bad news for me at least because I did not hear anything since last one year.And adding to that guys case. one thing is that his job verification has not been done as yet.... :shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virtual_bajwa Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yes guys, DIAC has changed the look of the Capping and ceasing of specified offshore GSM applications lodged before 1 September 2007 – 1 July 2010 under What's new section... They have provided the PDF file under the name of VACrepay.pdf. And under the file they have clearly mentioned that If you believe that you may be eligible for a repayment and have not received any notification from the department by 31 August 2010 please contact us. See: General Skilled Migration Enquiry Forms - Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs Here is the link to the new changes under this heading ..... What's New?

virtual_bajwa Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Well Guys, I had noticed from above mentioned Client Service charter table that the top portion of table for Pre September applicants will be completely removed. And they will be left with only one row of offshore Pre September applicants. And that will be of Skilled – Independent Regional Subclass 495 and Skilled – Designated Area – Sponsored Subclass 496.......I do not think there are many left under this column of applicants. So they might be finished with the backlog of Pre-September applicants if they start processing provisional applications under this category in August. And for this Minister might be waiting for the Visa capping bill... Here is the link to the client service charter table..
