Guest tyasawa Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Just released on DIAC's website; Processing priority groups Client Service Charter Cat 4 = timeline infinity oh gosh.. that's it then. I have no hope whatsoever to be processed under Cat 4. Dear DIAC, I succumbed to you money hunger rule and apply for new visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dragsterwish Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Cat 4 is officially relegated to the bin centre..... far worse than asylum seeker's timeline. ********** On the optimistic side, if we are on Cat. 2(SMP) 176 subclass, estimated timeline is 12 months from date of lodgement! That would be very fast for many of us who have lodged last year! For us, we lodged in Feb 2010 and that may mean getting visa grant around Feb 2011! Wow! Just wanna keep the hope burning while we eagerly await the release of SMP to be bumped to Cat. 2! Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Manj Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Just released on DIAC's website; Processing priority groups Client Service Charter Cat 4 = timeline infinity So that means Cat 4 will never be processed!!! :arghh: Where the hell is our MONEY DIAC?????? __________________________________________ CAT (4), 885 applied 2008 AUG, ICT - Recent graduate NEC, IELTS 8.0, NAATI qualified, Currently employed as a ICT Project Officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stream of applicant for higher Cat. would keep flowing in and out.... However, miracle can happen..... just that we are still waiting for one to happen after all these years....

John Gilfillan Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Looks like Cat 4 are pretty well stuffed. I just hope from a personal point that if you have SS you might get some sort of lifeline. Or wait and see what happens when the SMP's come out. I bet Canada is starting to look appealling for a few people on here.

Guest jumbojet Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I wish I could sue DIAC for my application money as well as monies paid to migration agents, IELTS tests and other related costs. I would be happy to look at Canada then....but don't see why I should walk away from Aus just because I am dumped in a lower category... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender776 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Am I being daft or will Cat 4 never be processed? I mean, Cat 1-3 are never going to stop coming in and I can't picture people in DIAC offices suddenly saying, 'oh, we've got nothing to do, let's dust off some Cat 4s'. I haven't been waiting anywhere near as long as some people, but it's really starting to do my head in now. I know there's no guarantee of a visa when you start the process, but now I've broken up from work (and have actually got time to think about it for once), I'm becoming more and more p***ed off at the unscrupulous way that people's money is being sat upon!

matjones Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 and you have to reside in that state to get that priority bump? Yes, you have to live in the state for 2 years. Let me clarify something though, to get moved up to Priority 2 SMP, you have to file a State Sponsorship application with the state you would like to move to, you can't just move up to Priority 2 if your occupation is on their SMP and you don't have sponsorship from them.

Which means some of them have to give up thier current job and move to which ever state they can get sponsor from .. Risky move for ppl already have a full time relavant job !

Guest ben1980 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 In my view, applicants in Group 4 have little chance to get processed. Reserving many occupations in Group 4 maybe aim to let overseas student stay longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh I see, well lets hope we all get some positive news after the election then. If My other halfs occupation isn't on the SMP ( Cook ) , then I will be joining the rest of the unlucky ones.

Guest Gollywobbler Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Cat 4 is mainly composed of schedule 1 applicants. SMP are based on schedule 3 I believe. So that rules it out. Hi User Name The States can choose any of the occupations in the new Schedule 4 and include those occupations in the State's new SMP. The States are NOT confined to including the occupations in Sch 3 only in their new SMPs. However, DIAC have to approve the lists of occupations in the new SMPs. The rumour is that if, for example, SA insists that they need Botanists, DIAC will ask SA to prove why they need Botanists and to prove how many Botanists they need to attract during the next couple of years. Botanist is in the new Schedule 4 but it is not also in Schedule 3. I suspect that DIAC will be more difficult about approving inclusion of occupations in Sch 4 only than they will be about approving the occupations that are within Sch 3 and Sch 4.
