Guest Gollywobbler Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 HI Apples,This is how the system works. DIAC was waiting for the number of the visas for the financial to reach. As u must have noticed that they have not mentioned any link to the news on capping of Pre-September applicants. And there is no display of number of visas for the particular class mentioned in this article. So, they are moving very carefully on capping set for the particular class. Hey, VB The user name is Bossfishy, not Bossy Fish, though I've made the identical mistake in one of my own posts! Cheers Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bossfishy1 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hi Bossfishy I copied your post into this thread because this thread has become the "meeting point" for people who applied for visas prior to 1st September 2007. On 8th February 2010, the Minister announced that he intended to Cap & Terminate all the un-finalised applications for offshore visas that were received by DIAC prior to 1st September 2007: Migration reforms to deliver Australia's skills needs To do this, the Minister is using the "Cap & Kill" power given to him by Section 39 of the Migration Act 1958. No other power currently exists to enable the Minister to do as he is trying to do in the cases of people like yourself. I note that you are a General Electrician. Please could you tell me as follows: 1. How old are you at the moment, please? 2. Where do you live at the moment? 3. What formal qualifications do you currently hold? 4. If it is relevant, what was your score in the IELTS, please? 5. Have you been working as a General Electrician for at least 12 out of the last 24 months? 6. If you are eligible to apply again, under the much stricter rules that have come into force today, 1st July 2010, would you still be interested in moving to Australia? 7. Do you have any family members in Australia? If so, what relation are they to you, please? 8. I think you said on British Expats that you have applied for a subclass 136 visa? Please could you just either confirm that I'm right or tell me which visa you had applied for, please? Finally, I am expecting a legal challenge in the Courts in Australia. You probably won't be the visa applicant who sues the Minister for Immigration in the Courts in Australia but I will be very surprised if nobody sues him. Ever since the Minister first made his announcement, people have been asking Accredited Specialists in Immigration Law (the senior solicitors in this field) whether it is lawful for the Minister to carry out his threat? This group of solicitors (there are about 50 of them in total) have all said that they want to wait to see the letters that DIAC send to the affected applicants. Once the solicitors see the letters, they will analyse them closely to see (a) what DIAC have said; and (b) whether DIAC have made any legal mistakes with the letters. I assume that you have received an e-mail from DIAC, telling you that they have used Section 39 in order to Cap & Terminate your visa application? Could you copy the text of whatever they have sent you and post it into a reply in this thread, please? Many thanks :notworthy: Gill 1. 48 in August applied when 44 2.UK 3. City & Guilds 4.

Regards xxxxxx xxxxxxx Manager Team2 Program Delivery Branch General Skilled Migration - Adelaide Department of Immigration & Citizenship Thanks Gill:cool: Hi Bossfishy I have edited your post to delete the Manager's name because he has not been stalking the seat of DIAC's HQ in Canberra so he has had no say in Canberra's decision to dump your visa application. He is just the footsoldier on the coalface who has the dreadful task of having to cope with the visa applicants such as yourself. What the guy has said is admissible in evidence, though, so please keep hold of his e-mail. I don't know whether admitting to someone that their application was killed off some time ago - possibly PRIOR to the Capping Instrument being signed on 24th June 2010 - is a lawful use of S39. It is plain that the letters that the lawyers are waiting to examine are not ready as yet and the machinery for making refunds is not fully in place as yet either. I don't know, in short, whether or not the way that DIAC are going about this is lawful but I can ASSURE them that the lawyers on the outside are waiting to pounce on the Minister for the slightest mistake in the Minister's use of S39. Are you British, Bossfishy? I wonder whether the real reason for dumping you - when General Electricians are on the new SOL - is so that the Minister can (he hopes) wriggle out of allegations that his decisions and his use of S39 are racially motivated? He can't possibly argue that somebody from the UK is unable to speak reasonable English, when a supposed inability with English is one of his main claims for justifying his decision to ditch pre-September 2007 applicants..... It stinks. I suspect that your only hope of emigrating to Australia now will be if you can persuade an Australian employer to sponsor you for PR, probably via an RSMS visa. Please see this thread: http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/58791-rsms-nightmare.html When Linda started the thread, her main concern was that she had gotten into the clutches of a notorious cowboy by way of an UNregistered migration agent. The cowboy in question has been around for years, is very well known and he specialises in stinging people like the Irvines.The cowboy went bust in April 2009 but that is a regular occurrence with his companies as well. From your point of view though, Mr Irvine is a Plumber/gas fitter and the couple now have PR via their RSMS visa, despite the fact that they are quite a bit older than you. They live in Gympie in QLD. It is a small town which is about 2 hours north of where their son lives, closer to Brisbane. Gympie is in Regional Australia, which is why it is so important. The RSMS visa requires them to put up with living in Gympie for another year or two but after that they will be free to move to the centre of Brisbane or even Sydney is they so wish and Mr Irvine would be able to do whatever he likes for a living as well once the conditions come off his RSMS visa. So there is a way to do this if a willing employer can be found. The new Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has said that she realises that there is a tremendous shortage of skilled workers in the regional parts of Australia. From your own point of view it would be wrong to believe that it cannot be done, though it would be very difficult to find the magic employer who is desperate for some skilled help and is willing - and eligible - to back you for a visa for Australia. Mr Irvine proves that it is not impossible, though. From your point of view it is important that you should understand Section 39 and the fact that the Minister is simply using it to slide out of an immediate problem for himself, not because there is necessarily any lawful justification for using Section 39 in the way that he is trying to use it. Having understood why the present situation has arisen, it is also important that you should understand that there is another visa which would get you out of the problem, potentially: Employer Sponsored Workers - Workers - Visas & Immigration Employer Sponsored Migration Booklet - Australian Immigration I've given you the main link to employer sponsored visas but if you drill down, you will find the rest of the information. For the moment, my main question for you is to ask whether or not you are a British Citizen, please? Many thanks Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gollywobbler Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hi VB The e-mails that Bossfishy and Roselyn have received are merely letters informiing them that their applications will be capped and ceased. They are not the letters via which DIAC formally terminate the visa application and offer the refund. It sounds to me as if the formal end of the process is not ready to go ahead as yet. I think that staff at the ASPC have been placed in the appalling position whereby they cannot refuse to tell the truth if people ask them but they can't offer them anything formal - or any money - either. Which is typical of the crass insensitivity of DIAC's most senior staff in Canberra, frankly. Not only are "People Our Business" completely deaf and blind to the people who are supposed to be their business, but the fat cats in Canberra leave it to their footsoldiers on the coalface in Adelaide to do their dirty work for them.

Guest Gollywobbler Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Hi Amirpetrol I am so sorry that I did not read VB's liists properly before replying to you yesterday evening (I'm in the UK.) I was tired and sleepy as well, which was no help. The Minister and DIAC have both been killing themselves to avoid giving straight answers about what the Minister is really up to, but the gist seems to be as follows:- Under the existing legislation, the Minister's only Cap & Kill power is the one that he was given under Section 39 of the Migration Act 1958. I understand that S39 was introduced as a result of an amendment to the Migration Act, many years after 1958. S39 requires the Minister to set a Cap for the relevant Class or subclass of visa. Once he has set the Cap, he is allowed to terminate the remainder of the applications made under the relevant subclass and to treat them as if they had never been made. The significance of 1st September 2007 is that on that date, subclasses such as sc 136 were closed to new applicants and were replaced with the present sc 175, 176 and 475 visas instead. I know what the rules are for meeting the eligibility criteria for the current group of visas but I don't know what the rules were prior to 1st September 2007. On 8th February 2010, the Minister suddenly announced that he intended to Cap & Kill all the applications for offshore visas that people applied for prior to 1st September 2007. The only power that he could use in order to do this is the existing Section 39. His announcement is here: Migration reforms to deliver Australia's skills needs Before that, in November 2009, the Minister was interviewed by Peter Mares (his first interview with Peter Mares.) The transcript of that interview is here: Immigration Minister responds to backlog concerns - The National Interest - 13 November 2009 In that interview, the Minister said that there was a backlog of about 100,000 applications for offshore GSM (skilled independent) visas. He specifically said applications, not applicants. More recently (26th May 2010, to be exact) the Minister introduced his new Cap & Kill Bill to Parliament. Under the new Bill, the Minister says that he wants to repeal S39 and to replace it with his new (hoped for) Cap & Kill powers, as proposed in the new Bill. The Senate blocked the immediate progress of the new Bill. They have referred it to a Senate Committee for a Public Inquiry: Parliament of Australia: Senate: Committees: Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee: Migration Amendment (Visa Capping) Bill 2010 [Provisions] Loads of people and organisations have made Submissions to the Public Inquiry: Parliament of Australia: Senate: Committees: Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee: Migration Amendment (Visa Capping) Bill 2010 [Provisions]: Submissions Received Peter Mares promptly interviewed the Minister again on 4th June 2010: New immigration powers cause concern - The National Interest - 4 June 2010 The Minister claimed in that interview that the reason he had decided to chop off all the pre-1st September 2007 applicants at the knees is because the pre-Sept 2007 visas required a lower standard of English than the current group of skilled visas and/or less work-experience was required then than is required now. The MIA is the Migration Institute of Australia: http://mia.org.au/ They have been running a series of roadshows around Australia, in conjunction with DIAC, so that the DIAC staff can tell the assembled Registered Migration Agents all about the latest changes etc. In the early roadshows, the DIAC staff who were present claimed airily that "all" of the outstanding applications for GSM visas that were submitted prior to 1st September 2007 were "dodgy" applications. They were 'dodgy' because DIAC suspected that the visa applicants had been fibbing about their work experience and so on. The assembled RMAs roared, "Rubbish!" Many of the relevant visa applications were prepared and submitted by RMAs who know perfectly well that the applicant has not fibbed about anything. DIAC changed tack. They told different members of their staff to attend the roadshows from then on. The new staff weren't any better than the first lot imho. The new lot told the RMAs that using S39 would involve causing "collateral damage." I assume that "collateral damage" has been the particularly offensive (to my mind) term that has been bandied around the DIAC offices in memos, office meetings etc. God knows what "collateral damage" is supposed to mean in the WHOLLY inappropriate circumstances in which DIAC's staff have been bandying the term around with such glee. As you know, it is a term used in connection with armed hostilities only - normally - where it usually means, "killing your own personnel and/or killing innocent civilians by mistake." I think that DIAC's staff have been using the term to mean, "Killing visa applications from people where we didn't intend to kill the application but it has happened all the same." I suppose that the victims would be in a similar situation to innocent civilians. Personally, if I were Andrew Metcalfe (the boss of DIAC) I would have told all the staff that if I heard the term "collateral damage" even once more, whether within the DIAC offices or outside of them, I would cause some "collateral damage" to any staff members caught using the term, by sacking the staff member concerned for gross misconduct, whether the staff member was very senior, very junior or in between. It is quite disgusting to have the staff of "People Our Business" going around yapping about "collateral damage," imho. So if it were me, I'd have applied the boot really hard about this and the jackboot with which to boot offenders out of the door, frankly. Telling a visa applicant that she or he is "collateral damage" is totally unacceptable, totally irresponsible and in appallingly poor taste, in my view. So I assume that you are an example of - and an innocent victim of - this "collateral damage." I personally believe that the Minister's real aim is to reduce the size of the backlog and that he and his staff are obfuscating about the truth because admitting the truth is too unpalatable to their cowardly little selves. Please sing out if you have any other questions. Cheers Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gollywobbler Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Hi VB I have had an e-mail from Bossfishy1 He lives in the UK and he is a native English speaker by birth and from birth. He is a General Electrician, which is on the new SOL. He has City & Guilds qualifications. General Electricians don't come with better qualifications than that. He has 30 years experience in his occupation. Therefore there is nothing the matter with his English Language ability and there is nothing wrong with his qualifications or his work experience either - giving the lie to the Minister's claims about all this big-style if you ask me.

Guest amirpetrol Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Hi Gill I realy appreciate the time which you spent to answer my question in detail.but I really dont know that S39 gives the right to minister to withdraw application which submitted already? if they wanna control the migration,it is wisely to control from the time of decesion and it is pitty that they are going to use for as you said "innocent" applicant which were qualified at time of lodge.and even with changing the rules since 1 st July,I am qualified to try it one more time but it makes no sense to me.if they NEED our right now and we have application in line,whats the point to receive our money and lodge again. since we have not received any news about people who were ceased,I hope they dont use this killing law which is not good for their reputation.

Hi Amirpetrol if they NEED our right now and we have application in line,whats the point to receive our money and lodge again. You tell me and we'll both know, hun. since we have not received any news about people who were ceased,I hope they dont use this killing law which is not good for their reputation. We have already received news, hon, on this thread. Bossfishy1 and Roselyn have both been told that their applications have already been terminated and that only the formalities remain to be dealt with. The Minister announced his decision to do this on 8th February 2010. He didn't blinking well decide to do it on Sunday 7th Feb 2010, plainly, so the actual decision was not only made some time ago, but it was announced well before the formal Caps were applied. The legislative Instrument applying the Caps was not signed until 24th June 2010. I hope they dont use this killing law which is not good for their reputation It seems that they are already using it. I agree that it is absolutely terrible for Australia's reputation. Presumably the Minister does not mind that. but I really dont know that S39 gives the right to minister to withdraw application which submitted already? Dunno. Here is the text of S39: 39 Criterion limiting number of visas (1) In spite of section 14 of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003, a prescribed criterion for visas of a class, other than protection visas, may be the criterion that the grant of the visa would not cause the number of visas of that class granted in a particular financial year to exceed whatever number is fixed by the Minister, by legislative instrument, as the maximum number of such visas that may be granted in that year (however the criterion is expressed). (2) For the purposes of this Act, when a criterion allowed by subsection (1) prevents the grant in a financial year of any more visas of a particular class, any outstanding applications for the grant in that year of visas of that class are taken not to have been made. I am sure there will be litigation over the present Minister's present use of S39. I don't know what the detailed legal arguments will be and I don't know what the Aussie courts would decide. My personal opinion is that its current use represents an abuse of the due process of Law, but I am not an Aussie trained lawyer, so all that I am doing is expressing my personal, lay-woman's opinion. I believe that the present Minister's reasons for using S39 are a flagrant abuse by him of the power vested in him by Parliament, myself. I don't know which way it will go in the Courts in Australia. I think (hope) that it will turn into The Immigration Litigation Bungle, to go with the Homes Insulation Bungle and the Schools Improvement Bungle that the present Government has already made. I'm sorry that I can't offer you better news, but I think you deserve to know the truth. Hugs :hug: Gill :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Gill Pity on poor Bossfishy1 and Roselyn. In fact pity on every Pre - September applicant. I would go one step ahead and say that all this Capping and Ceasing is a big drama. Motive of this Cap and Cease is to kill all the Pre september application. Well guys, if an applicant like Bossfishy1 is capped, then I am afraid nobody will be speared from this. Well, may be next turn would be ours. Lot of things are talked and written about this unlawful act by Minister and submitted in front of parliament committee, but the ground reality is still same. Minister is slowly and slowly heading towards achieving his goal. What can we do nothing more than writing and writing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mirelle Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hello All, I am not very active on the forum in terms of posting comments and or replies though I read what other people are saying and almost every day (reading of this forum is kind of my morning ritual, cup of coffee and PomsInOZ :biggrin:). Below is the time line of our application and this morning we received the CAP and CEASE notification. Date of application: 20 August 2007 Nationality: Bosnia and Herzegovina Trade/profession: General electrician Visa type: Class BQ, Subclass 138 Skilled – Au Sponsored Visa CSL, MODL or SOL: used to be on CSL, removed, MODL TRA: March 2007 IELTS: March 2007, overall band 6 Date CO assigned: November 2008 Medicals submitted: December 2008, and additional X-ray check requested and submitted 11 May 2009. Police check submitted: YES, December 2008 Job verification: December 2008 Spouse IELTS: March 2009, overall band 8 June 2009 received letter that the application is no longer priority and will be reassessed in July 2010. CAP and CEASE notification letter received on July 05, 2010 And this is the letter we received, and along with it we got repayment info form. We are OK with it NOW since we kind of accepted the situation, but the true is that I feel nauseous. It is really hard to cope with the whole situation, and the whole feeling of how unfair we were treated. The good thing for us is that we are together and in good health :wubclub:. Thank you all, keep up the good spirit and good luck to you all applicants . Best, Mirelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi virtual_bajwa, The things is that they mismanaged/mishandled the immigration , They should have been calculate that how much applications and what category should be taken to fullfill Australian Market demand , But they didn't do that and now they are hammering on the applicants . You will see in up coming years ,People don't trust Because this is matter of good reputation , Honorable minister should have think about the reputation of the country that what will be impact of my decission in sense of reputation ? I assure you here that I am 100% candidate and I will fight till the last end & won't back off , I don't want my money back I want my aim/object . For this purpose I gonna to hire an Australian solicitor to review my case , Why they delay illogically my case ? Regards, Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tvita Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hello All,I am not very active on the forum in terms of posting comments and or replies though I read what other people are saying and almost every day (reading of this forum is kind of my morning ritual, cup of coffee and PomsInOZ :biggrin:). Below is the time line of our application and this morning we received the CAP and CEASE notification. Date of application: 20 August 2007 Nationality: Bosnia and Herzegovina Trade/profession: General electrician Visa type: Class BQ, Subclass 138 Skilled – Au Sponsored Visa CSL, MODL or SOL: used to be on CSL, removed, MODL TRA: March 2007 IELTS: March 2007, overall band 6 Date CO assigned: November 2008 Medicals submitted: December 2008, and additional X-ray check requested and submitted 11 May 2009. Police check submitted: YES, December 2008 Job verification: December 2008 Spouse IELTS: March 2009, overall band 8 June 2009 received letter that the application is no longer priority and will be reassessed in July 2010. CAP and CEASE notification letter received on July 05, 2010 And this is the letter we received, and along with it we got repayment info form. We are OK with it NOW since we kind of accepted the situation, but the true is that I feel nauseous. It is really hard to cope with the whole situation, and the whole feeling of how unfair we were treated. The good thing for us is that we are together and in good health :wubclub:. Thank you all, keep up the good spirit and good luck to you all applicants . Best, Mirelle Hi Mirelle, my condolences. Thank you for posting the email. Just wondering if you had relatives or state sponsorship. I thought that the sponsored applicants were safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtual_bajwa Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hi Mirelle, my condolences. Thank you for posting the email. Just wondering if you had relatives or state sponsorship. I thought that the sponsored applicants were safe. Hi tvita, 138 BQ are the family sponsored applicants. I am really sad for mirelle as this visa applications was one the safest way to immigrate to Australia. I was thinking of applying this visa but at last minute decided to go ahead with 496. But I am afraid if 138 BQ can be ceased then no visa application is safe guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
