True

however, if you are really tight on time and have to submit a 175 before you receive your ACS PASA letter, you can lodge your 175 and supply the reference number you received online from ACS, keep in mind you are gambling away 2600$ AUD...

I wont do so unless I am 99% sure I will get a positive PASA, AND I am really desperate on submitting my 175 now.

otherwise just wait and play it right

 

Dear buddy,

 

Thank you very much, Yes I'm very desperate on submitting 175 as I'm loosing hope on all the states :( and given the uncertainty of the new point test. Many congrats on your Victoria SS as its something worth than platinum, I have no choice than lodging a 175. :hug:

avioz,

 

Sorry to hear that mate :wacko:

 

Would you mind sharing your years of exp., technology, F500/MNC, Vic relatives/friends, etc.

 

You got any back up plans?

Go for ACT. Good luck for the future! :hug:

Sorry about the rejection.

 

I have a sinking feeling now with my SS application...

I don't have as good experience as you have...:cry:

Surely wish you to do better than me. If you have projected your experience well in your resume you will surely do well.

obelixous,

 

Sorry to hear that :wacko:

 

 

 

Gosh, your profile is out of ordinary and I have no freaking clue how can the Industry Panel reject you. This is something I can't get my head around :err:

 

Don't be heart-broken and good luck for the future! :hug:

 

armandra!

 

Maybe I did not keep your resume tips in mind :) All the best to you too...

mate, you have 8 IELTS, this is 20 points on the new system

>8 years experience, this is 15 points.

 

I think you will have enough points for a 175

my best wishes to you.

 

Yes I have enough points for the 175 on the new system, but fall short in the current point system. All the best to you too.

Thanks buddy.

6 years of exp in wireless protocol developement (telcom) on embedded platform (only on C/C++, linux). Worked with MNC clients in South Korea and US (but missed to mentioned on my CV though). No relatives or friends in Vic.

No backup plans as such, need to resit for IELTS.

For ACT i dont have enough IELTS score.

Almost all of the torch-bearers of this thread were from Nov 1st or 2nd week. So, it kinda leaves me with pretty much nothing to post these days :err: I miss all that nonsense talk which made perfect sense back then, but now when I go back to previous pages, feel it was all kinda silly just to make ourselves feel that we are actually doing something worthwhile by coming up with various analytical theories about Vic's processing priority and acceptance/rejection logic.

 

Awwwwwwwww, those were the days ......... :cute:

 

Not that I expect to jump the queue (applied on Jan 6th), but then wish I had done that earlier. If only wishes were horses...... :wink:

I'm here, I'm here.... I would never leave my troops in the face of danger.. I always check here and hope to read some good news! Yoyo is with you all

Oh oh ... VIC's grant/refusal rate has now become pretty poor again. For ICT it's even a lot poorer than for tradies. We're still waiting for a lot of results and some of the posters probably just forgot to post their result but I'm afraid the rate won't change that much. However, all those who have their details on our page: Please come forward and let us know your outcome. It helps us all to see what's going on in VIC.

 

Thanks a lot

May be they are running apps in parallel, if at all there are few undecided ones from Nov still waiting. Just my thought, though.

 

armandra!

 

Yes and in addition, maybe we have been assigned to different COs who do not have same efficiency. Some diligent COs have moved to Dec while others still hesitate in Nov.

My guess is there are no COs assigned at all.

 

Our CVs are forwarded to a group of recruitment companies/agents or internal recruiters from well established organisations and asked them to provide feedback if the CV sounds employable.

 

I say recruitment companies/agents because they are the best ones to judge a CV by the looks of it since the recruitment process is heavily managed by agents/companies in Australia.

 

And I've come across many a specialised recruitment agent catering to an area of industry (e.g., Business Intelligence/Data Warehousing, Business/Process Analysts, etc.) so it makes sense to forward only those CVs which pertain to that particular area.

 

This solves the mystery as to why some people with extensive experience get rejected whereas someone from the same technology background but with less experience gets approved. Hence, the "no demand" reason for rejection provided the recruitment agents tend to feel like tossing the CV aside for some reason.

 

This is what constitutes an "Industry Panel" as Vic likes to call it.

 

armandra!

Here is what I think. Since SMP applications were closed till Nov 10, when it opened, a lot of people would have applied in first three weeks of Nov. The flow would then have tapered down in Dec '10 and Jan '10.

 

Given that they have cleared most Early to Mid Nov '10 applicants - the ones remaining in total should be approx equal to the ones who have got results by now. Hopefully the rest should be anytime now and (hopefully) before Easter.

 

See the Google search timeline of number of hits on word "liveinvictoria" in last quarter of 2010 - almost confirms the theory above :)

Yes, your guess is quite reasonable. That's can well explain why VIC differ from other states in processing SS, and thereby costing more time.
