Revival Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 i RARELY hear of anyone getting a 475 visa grant anymore. It has become a thing of the past. Evans is probably cooking up some evil plans to announce this month as usual:no: Show me the visa or the money ) whichever works !! You would think 1st of July will bring some clarity, it is as dull as expected. I honestly will not recommend the australia visa in the future. It is a rip off , waste of time with no clear expectations. ------------------------------------------------ A sarcastic 2008 475 Applicant :goofy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest izephyr Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Another 475 guys. I've applied on April 2009. Holding my breath (and my life) since then. Waiting for the big game..... Hope DIAC will change the Processing Priorities, hopefully, NOT RETROSPECTIVELY or at least given lodged applications a greater priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Choksy Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Hi All, I'm too waiting for last 10months.......no luck. It looks like 475 applicants whose occupations are not on SMP needs to wait for 3years. After that God forbid, if minister caps & cease the application then we are finished. In DIAC nobody understands what we are going through, to file our application. time, money and mental pressure…u have it all. (DIAC should change their motto: People our headache (not business) I have a strong feeling, since CSL is no more, SMP occupations will be very few critical occupations needed in those states/territories. So those applicants with current priority no.5 will remain there for next few months until they issue visas for all CSL applicants. Afterwards, may be priority list will be changed again without giving priority to 475 pending applications. However, there is one probability due to new SOL with only 183 occupations and revoking of MODL/CSL etc and may/June suspension of 175/176 and 475 offshore visa applications, no. of visa applications DIAC may receive in future will be definitely less than what is expected. This will result in reduced wait time for all old applicants. Hope and pray that (Revival said) minister doesn’t cook up some evil plans to eliminate old applicants in future. Cheer up and have peaceful waiting......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revival Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 if it wasn't for this forum, i don't know what one would do. We are all left guessing and wondering what is next. i can't believe at some point in Sept 2009 i had a CO and i could have been out of this mess and in Oz by now building a future. I keep telling myself everything happens for a reason. But i know the reason is an unreliable visa system. I don't care much for what he says about choosing applicants for Australia's needs.That's an ill explanation for bad decisions and wrong judgement OTHERWISE: Don't take my money in the first place and put me in the queue. Don't let your regional state sponsor me cos they are in desperate need of applicants to live there. Don't correct your own wrong stupid decisions by back firing on the past applicants. You should apply rules from the day you realised you messed up Don't turn it into a lottery system where you end losing money, time and no visa Don't insult our intelligence and keep us guessing. the least you can do is keep us informed and updated of all changes and keep a fair queue running like it used to be. Don't deal with us as applications, we are humans with lives and responsbilities that are put on hold pending your mood swings and internal politics. BOY !!! That felt good!!!!!!!!!:yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wensmal Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Hi all 475 's Its a good feeling that I see so many of us out there.Yeah, it seems everything is going through a big change.Was of for a couple of weeks and just today got on my computer .I'm really disappointed with all the changes as I was in my final stage just waiting for my visa when everything just took a turn.I'm hoping that there is some light out there for all of us.Loged my visa on the 21-9-09 waiting .................for the good news.

Guest zaman475 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I also applied june 2009. CO assigned on 1 Sept 2009. No online update for the last six months, really frustrating and annoying . I already have reached in summit of my patience. Now I am going to loose my patience. Surely I am frustrated and concern about my future as I already have invested entire savings.

Guest Aivaanho Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Hi all, I am another 475 patient who is affected by "waiting for SMP" virus. Every morning my first duty is to check the website of SA & DIAC if any update regarding SMP. Like others, we should also count ourselves and get together in one forum (Forum 475) to share all news, update and discussions. May be it will not influence to get our visa, but we can at least get relief from inevitable stress. Thanks, Emon ……………………..

SMPs are not yet out, may end of this month it will be out. By the way it seems that SMPs too will have very limited critical occupations only. If your occupation is on SMP then you might get better priorirty processing than current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
