mlsdq Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 SA is quite mainly because they know we(ss holders) are all covered on SMP. it's like they say "you dont need to worry folks, all of you will lift up to cat 2 coz we included existing ss holders on the smp, u just need to wait kk" ... Unlike other states, they give out info about what will be on smp before they released them... But QLD was once like SA before too!!! ... Wasnt it??

Ezy Going Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 hey let's be positive. in His time every thing will fall into the right place. Well I think there is no problem in waiting ..... If SA tell us that smp will be announced in 15th Jan then be it.... we all will be in peace and wait patiently for 15th Jan .... Its the silent treatment from SA that hurts :dull: Hanging in the middle.... feeling of being led down by SA ... these feelings could have been easily avoided if SA give us a time line :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the coyne family Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 The only thing that bothers me is if WA release before SA we might have quite a wait for a CO as their quota is quite high or so I have seen on the WA thread. No disrespect intended for WA apps, it would have been fairer if they released them all and worked in date order. I wonder if DIAC might have certain teams for certain states, that would make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezy Going Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I am afraid your concern is true... and if SA does not beat WA we all are going to suffer.....:cry: Come on SA show some sympathy with us.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest china Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Oh my god, completely freaking out about the SA SMP - we are waiting to hear if we have been granted SS as secondary school teacher, and now waiting to see if we're evn going to be on the list. I know my panic is nothing compared to some of the poor WA people, but it's just so scary. Sorry, little panic, good to get it out. good luck to all x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezy Going Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Don't want to spread panic here but I emailed SA yesterday regarding my 2 concerns & today I saw a reply from them. My email & their reply are attached below in quotes. From their email what I understand is that even if I have been sponsored by SA as Telecommunications Engineer based on interim list (I was sponsored before Telecommunications Engineer reached its planning level) even then my occupation will not be in the SMP. And if my occupation is not in the SA smp then DIAC will not change me to priority 2. The other thing is that they stated that only 3 states have released their SMP. Although QLD & WA has also released so in total 5 states have released. Either they lied or they simply do not read the news paper. Hi Once we have reached quota for the program year, as is the case for Telecommunications Engineer, it will not be opened again as part of the SMP. It may return to the list in the new program year, sometime after July 2011. We are waiting DIAC approval of our SMP as are the majority of other states – only three have been approved to date. Regards Immigration SA Sent: Friday, 10 December 2010 2:13 AM To: DTED:ImmigrationSA Subject: Two queries regarding South Australia's SMP - Hide quoted text - Hello Concerned, I plan to immigrate to SA in near future. I already have the state sponsorship of SA under the interim list and I have launched my application with DIAC. But I am waiting for state migration plans from South Australia so that I can move up to priority 2. I will be grateful if you could address my two queries mentioned below: I want a confirmation that will my occupation "263311 - Telecommunications Engineer" which was part of the interim list be also part of the smpl. The FAQs on SA website mention that the smp will be released in December. We are already half way in December and we have no news when the smp for SA will be released. Every other state is announcing its smp. We (potential immigrants of SA) also want SA to announce its SMP so that we can also be processed in the fast lane. Can you kindly let me know if it will be announced before Christmas or later? Thanks in advance for the understanding. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AndyH78 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Looks like I'm waiting for SA SMP now, no new accountants needed in WA, so Adelaide is my second choice. Any clues as to whether they need accountants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
