Guest amitsoft7 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 If you are State Sponsored, you are Cat 3. If your occupation appears on ACT SMP, you'll move to Cat 2 Hi Stayer But my occupation is not there in the new SOL list for which i got sponsorship from ACT(Systems Manager) in may 2009 neither it is in now in the baseline list of ACT skill list.

cazhoney Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hi Shanon7, oh god, it´s so hard to explain.....I am en Environmental Engieneer, but my ASCO was 2129-79, and through the transitional arrangements, they converted me still as a Building Engineer NEC. So I complained to DIAC and EA, and they made a special arrangement for Building Engineers NEC. Engineers Australia sent me a new acessment letter, atesting that I am an Environmental Engineer under the ANZSCO, and I sent it to DIAC..... Building Engineers are not on the new SOL, but Environmental engineers are..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cazhoney Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hi newguy, have you already tried complaining? I have sent at leats 20 emails to EA, plus I have contacted other environmental engineers to do so too... Try to find other in the same situation as you, so you can work together....

The type who does not say, "Well I can't help because I'm not the right type of engineer" when the building is falling down but the type who says, "Right. Unless somebody has a better idea, I think we should do XYZ." Well done you for standing up to EA and DIAC until some proper justice was done.

cazhoney Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Hi Gill, thanks! I see a lot of people here complaining about how unfair the world is, but don´t have any attitude to change it. I am not happy about all these changes, but going to Australia is still a dream. So, until I have a nother dream, I will pursue this one.... I hope my case will inspire others in the same situation, and that they can fight together, because only calling DIAC every single day won´t change anything.... Cheers!

Hi cahoney, I've complained many times, and if you have checked this thread http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/91106-2231-79-computing-professional-ict-recent-graduate-new-priority.html you will find tons of people are in the same situation as me. But nothing has changed so far. It's been 3 months. I don't think ACS will change anything in the short term. I just can't wait any longer so I was forced to apply for a new assessment like many others which cost me another 400 bucks.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazhoney Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Hi newguy, yes, I have seen this thread....your situation is exactly the same as mine....My Asco was 2129-29 (Building engineers NEC), which includes all engineering courses that don´t have a code for their own...environmental, naval, textile, food and so on....That seemed ok, until the new SOL was out, and they have created a specific code for environmental engineers...so that´s when I thought they should separate the different kinds of engineers...... I guess ACS is not very interested in helping you guys, right? We started making pressure on Engineers Australia....it worked.... But if this havent had worked out, I would have withdrawled my application, and started over again, if I had to. Cheers, Carolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alejandro Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Sorry to say but they won't even touch Cat4 applicants. Try calling the aspc helpline. +61 1300 364 613 (outside Australia) 1300 364 613 (in Australia) I feel that the 'Cap and Cease Bill' is the ultimate fate for many if not all applications in this category.

Guest stayer Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I called IMMIGRATION today and I learned absolutely NOTHING new. I think this number 1300 364 613 will soon be redirected to India (no offence) to some cheap call centre. They did not have a clue what they were reading out to me.

Thanks for sharing and this definitely means there are some opportunities to jump to Cat3 queue which would have better chances of visa approval within 12 months:spinny:.
