Debabrown Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hi DebaWelcome to PIO - on a brilliant day on which you get your SS! Congrats. Your SS doesn't have a great big smiley :biggrin: with and this is on the SMP list as well does it - how great would that be! Vickymel Thank you Vickymel I'm a little new to this so don't understand all the terminology on here of how to do things. Have been told we will be priority 2 as soon as the doors open again so am really excited. Does anyone know time scales we should be looking at, we still have to do our medicals?

libbysmum Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hi libbysmum,my guess was 1st october in VIC but I notice it has been put on the 10th!

Guest VickyMel Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Thank you VickymelI'm a little new to this so don't understand all the terminology on here of how to do things. Have been told we will be priority 2 as soon as the doors open again so am really excited. Does anyone know time scales we should be looking at, we still have to do our medicals? We don't know the time scales at all for priority 2 - we were told 1st July - now we are looking at Sept..? What we are doing here on this thread is having a bit of fun and guessing - as you can see by the first page we have no idea realy. Plus if a new government gets in who knows! I would not advise you to get your Meds done at the moment until at least something looks stable for a while or that you are getting closer. We nearly got them done in Sept 2009 as we thought we were close - but then everything flipped and has continued to do so. The run out after 1 year and you then need to do them again... Here is a link to a thread that discusses news & rumours about the State Migration Plan http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/89372-state-migration-plans-state-sponsorship.html You should also keep an eye on the state you are going to - as far as we are aware you should automatically move to priority 2 if your occupation is on the list they put out then... Although it sounds like most states are going to try and honour the SS they have given out and get them included as well even if not on the list. Till then we rumour and play guess the date games :laugh: so we don't go nuts. Vickymel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libbysmum Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Just seen this post by George Lombard http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/90927-priority-processing-gsm-28.html#post815912 "Philippe Ramssamy The Sponsored Skilled Migration Policy Section, Labour Market Branch, DIAC, has given the MIA the following advice: Edit: ...... I have removed the advise The MIA Queensland Branch President Sharon Harris has been advised that SMPs will not be released by anyone now until after the Federal Election." Question? are people who have put down a date allowed to select a new date after their first choice has come and gone? VM Hmmm?????? I think it would be a bit unfair for people to be able to have 2 guesses, just because their initial chosen date comes and goes. I think in order to keep this competition fair, it is your first choice only that counts. Sorry Vicky:wubclub: I do see that newcomers may have an unfair advantage seeing as new developments may have come to light as above. To try to minimise this I will set a cut off date for entries - I think seeing as its most likely nothing will happen till after the election, the final date I am going to take entries for this competition will be 20th August, day before the Ozzy election.

ashleymhale Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Oops Sorry :embarrassed: Corrected now :wubclub: Thanks for changing it! It's a great idea to have this competition. Thanks for bringing some fun into the forum whereas before its all been doom and gloom about the set backs. :spinny: I think if the expat community is as nice as the people in here we are all set for a good time when we get to oz. oh btw, everyone seems to be a little bit more optimistic than us!

Guest Aivaanho Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 You all know that there are a lot of stories about 2012.(May be the last year of the world). I think aussi govt wanna pass this time by hook or crook and want to start a new day and new plan in the new world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libbysmum Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Are you a betting man/woman?? I thought it might be a fun idea to hold a sort of competition about the release date of the first SMP. There won't be any prize per se, other than the winner will get to bask in the glory that they were right!! :spinny: Respond to this thread stating which state you think will release their SMP first and on which date. You don't have to name a particular state if you think that the release will be synchronised - ie all states being released on the same day, just reply "synchronised release" Only one person can nominate any particular state on any particular date, so first come first served. (more than one state can be nominated per date, so for example somebody might say VIC on the 21st August and somebody else might say WA on 21st August - thats fine) :policeman: I'll go first and say synchronised release - December 1st, reason being it'll be our 1st anniversary since lodging our visa, and have no other way of predicting :goofy: I'll try to keep the list updated as often as I can on the front page so people know whats still available. Ill use a colour key as shown below to identify which state any particular person has chosen. So come on peeps guess away, cos lets face it, thats what this whole charade is just lately a guessing game!! Final date for entries: 20th August 2010 Colour Key: Synchronised Release ACT NSW WA SA VIC QLD NT TAS July 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th 27th 28th 29th John gilfilan 30th 31st August 2010 1st matjones 2nd CharmedP3 3rd Ozzieland 4th Wolla Bolla Bing Bong 5th 6th 7th garynhelen 8th 9th 10th dennisfamily hellsbells 11th kevin jc 12th 13th nick and sez 14th 15th 16th 17th cazhoney 18th 19th 20th 21st 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th 27th 28th 29th 30th Janie101 31st spongebob September 2010 1st chriscarina janice1uk 2nd dragsterwish 3rd 4th 5th bug family 6th littlem kazzarazza Houciaus2010 HoriFTC 7th universal17 8th clicketteuk 9th msldq 10th JK2510 11th 12th 13th clayer 14th bindog1uk 15th rooperman 16th 17th GemandJay 18th proud2beaussie 19th 20th 21st 22nd 23rd VickyMel 24th 25th 26th 27th 28th 29th 30th gmac jules37 October 2010 1st ashleymhale 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th 21st 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th 27th 28th 29th 30th 31st November 2010 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th 21st 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th 27th 28th 29th 30th December 2010 1st Libbysmum 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th 21st 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th 27th 28th 29th 30th 31st January 2011 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th 21st 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th 27th 28th 29th 30th 31st Come on peeps, loads of combinations left to choose from! The more participants, the more interesting the competition, so If your just a lurker, having a quick read and the thread not being what you first expected, just have a quickie guess, it'll only take a couple of minutes of your time.
