tazmania Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 "forthcoming weeks"..... AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!:arghh: That's all the information they can give to all WA sponsored applicants! I'm tired of this B***@#$$T reply from WA. Got a reply from WA Migration this morning: "It is anticipated that the State Migration plan (SMP) may be published in the forthcoming weeks. You may lodge an online application if your occupation is listed in the SMP and if you meet the eligibility criteria. I hope this is of assistance." At least it was a different automated one than the previous three :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JK2510 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I think even if it did get released this week they would still send you the familiar auto reply we have been hearing for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ivyc10 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hi~all I think that WA`s SMP will be released next year. Case officers of DIAC cann`t handle with all priority 2. WA might have an appointment with DIAC to release their SMP. However, WA might receive a big quota from DIAC. If WA`s smp will be released more later,it may be good for all applicants who have already got sponsorship. WA doesn`t have officers enought to handle a big quota. We should just wait and pray to be included on the WA`s SMP all applicants who have already got sponsorship unless you aren`t going to Australia on tomorrow. No news is good news.

tikbalang Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Sorry, but i don't share ur view. We can't go on like this forever. It's like hoping for something that is not to come. There should be no more excuses. I'm hoping for the immediate release of the SMP, some of us can't put our lives on indefinite hjold forever. So, WA please don't disappoint us and issue the long awaited SMP already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q4 When are the state and territory Migration Plans being introduced? The department expects that all Plans will have commenced by the end of the 2010 calendar year, however, Plans for each state and territory will not all commence at the same time. I think QLD, SA and WA will release their smp's within the first half of december . :biggrin:Tasmania and NSW would be the last as they don't have a big number of applications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jasonh Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 All SMP will be released by the end of December as per DIMA SMP FAQ. Lets see when will they release it. We have been waiting for last 1 year so lets wait little more. Best thing to do is PCC & Medical if you think your trade will be on WA SMP. As i reckon lot of occupation which other states put on their list will be on WA SMP list and it will be broader like NT SMP. Hi Arun123, My wife and I are in the same situation as many others on PIO. Approved WA State Sponsorship, and now waiting for SMP. I am applying as General Electrician, and I am keeping everything crossed that my trade WILL BE on the list. I see that you suggest doing the PCC's and Medicals? I believe they can be quite costly (espeically the medicals) and are only valid for a certain period of time, so do you really feel it's worth paying for these things and just hoping that we're on the list? Surely there would be a chance that the visa would be issued when there's only a short time left of the validity of PCC/Medicals, and then they would have to be re-done? Are you that confident that if our trades ARE on the SMP, that all visas will be issued within a year from the SMP release date? It would be great for you to say "YES!" because goodness knows we need some positive thinking!! :wink: Thanks. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazhoney Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I am really worried that WA's SMP is released before the other states..... I hope the initial thought is correct: to release first the ones with less applicants....That means Tasmania and NSW.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest arun123 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hi jasonh, If your occpupation General Electrician is on the ACT, VIC & NT list its most probably it will be on WA SMP. Then its advisable to have medical now because instead of wasting 1 month while ur case office will tell you to do medical, might be your decision can be taken same day if your medical and PCC are finalised PROVIDED u feel that ur decision will be taken within 12 months from the date of medical.

Guest JK2510 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Jason it is a risk to have meds and pccs done before co requesting them. It is a costly risk and I think it is up to the individual themself. Everyone has a different view on things when it comes to meds. We have done our meds but we are fairly confident to that we will have visa within 12 months. I would never reccommend to others.

Guest arun123 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 This week there will be definitely one more state SMP will come but i doubt it, it would not be WA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikbalang Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Ur words are proving prophetic, so we'll have no more of it!:Randy-git: WA, issue the SMP this week please. I'm down on my knees....:arghh: picking up the pieces. This week there will be definitely one more state SMP will come but i doubt it, it would not be WA.

Guest dragsterwish Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 This week there will be definitely one more state SMP will come but i doubt it, it would not be WA. There is a remaining of 5 weeks in 2010 & also remaining 5 States' SMP yet to be announced. Will DIAC release 1 SMP per week? Nobody knows... I share your feeling that one more SMP will be announced this week. However, i have this very bad feeling that it's not going to be WA's even though i hope it is! More likely to be QLD's. Since Chris Bowen's website did not retract his media statement of the release of QLD's SMP on 26 Nov, i think its the next to be released & likely this week. Anyway, judging from the rest of the other State's SMP, it seems that all(?) State have honoured their existing SS holders and placed them in its SMP. So i'm quite sure WA would do so too. I'm proceeding with my medical & other preparation/research for the move to oz. This has indeed kept me busy and sane from the continuous checking of WA & DIAC for SMP release! Keep your faith and hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi~~ Do you believe that really?? They can make a lot of excuses as we have seen many time. DIAC has given many pain to old applicants. WA will not release their SMP in this year. If WA releases their SMP in this year, boxing day is waitng for us. As a result, they will not handle in this year. They have never heard our voice. So, enjoy your life and forget just a moment.

However, unless you have reliable info that "WA will not release their SMP in this year", your statement is also just as salty as DIAC's. We all wanted the SMPs to be released this year but we are always prepared for the worst whereby it COULD be released next year. But, for goodness sake, pls don't inject more pessimism into the situation. Its better to have hope that each day passed brings us closer to the SMP than to get depressed thinking it wouldn't be released till next year. However, i do thank you for your advice to "enjoy life & forget just a moment". It really helps though it aren't easy for the many of us here. Cheers!
