Guest chevalfou101 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I am tempted to buy a chris evans voodoo doll and stick pins in it. That septic tank has put so many people in uncertainty. We've all put our lives on hold because of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taniaholmes Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hi in black at the bottom is a email i sent to QLD in blue is my reply, can anyone comment on what this means i am a liitle confused i do understand my OH occupation will not be on the SMP but as for the rest Dear XXXX Thank you for your email. Your occupation is not included on our draft State Migration Plan. As our nominations are only valid for 12 months you need to ask your agent whether he intends to lodge your 176 application using the Queensland nomination or is he hoping to obtain nomination from a state who may ultimately have the occupation included on their SMP. Regards Dear Sir or Madame, I Paul Holmes was successful in receiving a sponsor 176 from you in December 2009 thank you for this , i would like to inquire about your Simple Migration Plan is it possible to give any indication to if my Occupation as A fitter would be on the new SMP and if not is it possible it could go on in time to come, also if their is a chance if the SMP will be released before Christmas, Regards XXXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taniaholmes Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Does it mean they are dumping people they already sponsored if their occupation is not on the new SMP list ???? I am not sure if QLD think that i have not already lodged my sponsor with Diac this i have done back in DEC 09, also when i have read it again i think it means i will still have my sponsor but really it doesn't mean any thing as my oh trade is not on the SMP.

Guest JK2510 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Reza, If the priority processing remains the same, there will always be applicants sat in cat 2 and cat 3. So when would DIAC get around to processing the cat 4s?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I think they did not read your email properly and did not recognised you have already lodged your SS. But darn (would prefer to use other words!) it does sound as if your occupation is not on their SMP list. Can you write back and explain this and ask if given they have already provided you with SS, and you really want to be there etc..., would they consider you for an off-list nomination...? Yes thats what i think so it looks like the State sponsor doesn't count for anything as we had already lodged 175 back in Nov 08 the ss was only to speed things up, looks like i am in for a very long wait. :hug: Tania - we have not heard yet but I am sure that there are plenty of us that will be hearing similar news very soon. This really is a bum deal they are giving out to people. Yes indeed. Is this a sign if things to come??Tania,I'm sorry for your news. :hug: I'm sure it is. You get use to it we have been doing this 2 years now, the amount of changes that have happend in this time just got to be positive and think that one day it will change to again to benefit us one day!! It was a really positive thing for me - that when we dropped to Cat 4 at the same time there were some people from the lowest category at that time moving up to Cat 3 with the new SOL. Must mean that Oz keep making mistakes on what they need as skills and sooner or later they may run out of us and move up again? We can but hope :unsure: I will never give up its just my son is 18 in Dec but still in college for 2 years and if we don't hear in that time then he cant come on our visa and that then will be the time when we will have to give up . No don't give up - go over validate and find another way to get him in - they change the rules so often you will get him in one way or another - he will be younger - more options. :hug: Tania - really sorry you didn't get good news on this. Keep pushing and maybe keep an eye out on the other states. Two years in another state then moving where you want is another option. Good luck whatever you decide and keep at it Tania we will get there one day. VickyMel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gollywobbler Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hi Tania I'm sorry that you have had disappointing news from QLD but to be honest, I'm not surprised. QLD seem to have copied NSW in deciding that they will no longer offer SS to tradies. However, I think that it is 100% commendable of QLD that they are telling people the truth and are not keeping them in limbo & suspense any longer. I think that the way that the Federal Government has behaved and is continuing to behave shows nothing except the utter amateurism of the Aussie pollies in charge of the show, frankly. (Plus the power of the Trades Unions, without whose money there would not be an Australian Labor Party.) Let us hope that the wretched SMPs will be released fairly soon, along with the criteria via which each State will decide who is to benefit from that State's SMP and who won't. This is NOT over yet, so just hang on to the reins and keep your feet in the stirrups for a while longer, hon. Hugs :hug: Gill xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
