virtual_bajwa Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Hi Kazzarazza I think we need to stay positive...i'm sure the 10000 will be new Cat 5 applicants.. I have been waiting since Dec 08 so know how you feel honestly...I am so over it now, I think I have been cat 6, Cat 6a, Cat 4 and now Cat 5 and yes it is a joke...the whole system is a joke but unfortuantely we are stuck in the middle of it....at least people now know what they are letting themselves in for, we did not, as priority processing didn't really exist in 2008. But I am going to stay positive, they are racing through the applications (old cat 2/3's!!) so they have got to get to us and being 2008 applicants we must be near the front of the queue...most folks seem to have found a way out from the bottom category (SS, employers, spouse etc)... We must be close... take a deep breath in, and exhale slowly...they will not beat us!!:smile: I appreciate that you are still positive. I had also started with this roller coaster.From no priority to Priority 6(a),priority 4 and now priority 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leoj76 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 for RSMS and ENS. The rest shouldnt remain unchanged except group name. Perhaps this thread should rename to New Category 5 - where are you now? :daydreaming: thanks .. U make it clearer!!!... there nothing change exept the category name... the new cat 1,2,3 was cat 1 and 2 before and the cat 3 is now 4........ but i was a bit confuse by the ancien cat 3 .. thought it was for application with job was not listed on the new sol list..... i read some where..... that the new cat4 is only for people with a job listed on the new sol list... sorry if I got it wrong.. but I think the ancien cat 3 was for applicant who was not listed on the new sol ..... Occupations on the SOL—Schedule 1 in effect at 1 July 2011—priority group 4 All applicants with a nominated occupation on the SOL—Schedule 1 are included in priority group 4. This includes both independent applicants and applicants sponsored by an Australian family member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluecatcollectables Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Hi Guys, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!!! I have just read the announcement very, very carefully and all they have actually done is to highlight the REGIONAL SPONSORED EMPLOYER SPONSORED section by giving it a category number of its own. It used to be part of Category 1! Australia is highlighting the need for Regional Settlement - Recently I read a news item that the Australian Government have awarded a couple of thousand dollars to anyone willing to move out of Sydney into Rural Surrounding Areas. I think Australia is increasingly facing resources problems, ie. travel, housing etc in inner cities. So this is all that has happened. When DIAC announced they are going to process some 10,000 applicants from Cat 4, this is what they meant at the time of the announcement. These will now be coming out of Cat 5! The new Cat 4 is the old Cat 3 and lets face it they are already up to July 2010 with the backlog. DIAC have increased the overall intake of applicants for the new financial year. Where will they take the 10,000 applications from? Surely not from CAT 1 or 2 or 3, as these are top priority and DIAC would not make a special announcement for these categories. Cat 4 is the normal way in for applicants - ie. independent. If you are say a Doctor of a certain speciality you are welcome to come to Australia and live where you want. So you would not necessarily want to be, nor can't be state sponsored. They will still need a category (new cat 4) for those applicants where their occupation is on the new SOL, but who will to apply independently. All the 'lucky' bunch who are in the pipeline - ie. the previous Cat 4 (the common lot ) will be processed in date order and some 10,000 applications will be allocated to them. So hopefully 2007 & 2008 will get a look in. Maybe some 2009 ones too! As somebody here has already mentioned, most applicants who could, moved into cat 3 or higher already. They will then clear the backlog in the comming financial year 2012/13. Basically saying, be prepared for a 2-3 year wait if you are not on the SOL. So therefore, I honestly believe nothing has really changed. Please don't panic! I sitll believe the first Cat 4,...errr... sorry the new Cat 5's will be looked at from August/ Sept onwards.

Here's to Progress! I do agree with your assessment about the categories and priority processing. What i dont agree with is that cat 5 or former cat 4 will be looked at in August September. The will process all categories till cat 4 before they start looking at cat 5 which should mean a wait of quite a few months before the cat 5 are looked at.

gokichan Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 folks, but then even new cat 4 has to wait 18 months !!! for their apps to be completed. Therefore, within that 18 months, some cat 5 apps will be processed. Hope is eternal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat4er Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 WAKE UP GUYS!!! NO ONE EVER PROMISED ANY 10.000 APPLICATIONS TO ANY CATEGORY 4!!!!! There is no single evidence of this apart from some migration agent posted it here that he heard it or he thinks or whatever. No single bit of any verifiable evidence. GOOD news is that nothing really changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
