Jimm Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 HI ivyc10 You are not the only sep 2009 applicant. There are plenty of us around,you don't need to loose patience though immigration is a tricky process and it does takes time,just hope for the best thinking there are other people waiting as well. I do hope they conclude their negotiations this week and the result is a positive one for all of us.Best thing for us is to keep checking WA IMMIGRATION website for any news or be in touch with them through emails and phones.

Jimm Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi Shano7 Welcome back.Well these negotiations (as per WA Australia migration representative) are conducted by WA Govt with DIAC on behalf of applicants they already sponsored but whose occupations are not listed in WA smp,these negotiations are carried out to have all sponsored applicants moved to cat 2(maybe adjusted in offlist category of the smp). One of the members called them I think 2 or 3 weeks back and the good lady said, they will have news in mid feb,so thats why we are sending them mails to check whats latest. I hope it helps.

littlem Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi jimm so as not to cause confusion I believe the negotiations are only to get the existing off list sponsored into cat 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimm Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi littlem Yes i believe so,to get all those applicants which WA have already sponsored to be included in cat 2 using offlist nomination places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlem Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi jimm so as not to cause confusion I believe the negotiations are only to get the existing off list sponsored into cat 2. Hi littlem Yes i believe so,to get all those applicants which WA have already sponsored to be included in cat 2 using offlist nomination places. Jimm, the negotiations are not for everyone not on the smp, ie hairdressers etc it is purely for the people given an off list sponsorship during 07/08 and 09. This will not take any of the 100 quota for this year. So if you currently hold a Wa ss for an off list occupation that was not on smp u may still get cat 2 if the negotiations are successful. If you have ss for Wa in an occupation which was on their list but not on smp then they are not included in the negotiations...as far as Wa has confirmed to me.... I hope this clarifies Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cherise Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi I am not to sure who the current negotiations are for but a while ago around the 20/01 I sent Wa an e-mail regarding the issue because I am a primary school teacher who received an off list nomination in June 2009. I received the following response Dear *********, SMWA has not had any new information on the negotiations with DIAC on the off list positions that were previously sponsored. We will revert to you as soon as we have further information. I understand it to be applicants who had previously received an off list nomination because they never did make wa skills list so why expect them to make the smp???? and why sponsor new off list applicants when you already have some sponsored??? I dont know its just my thinking!!!! I pray with all my heart that the negotiations are for everybody who has not made the smp because nobody deserves to be stuck at the bottom after having sponsorship!!! p.s a cat 4 applicant who had previous off list sponsorship by wa was contacted by a case officer today, so maybe there is some good news coming. Hang in there guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimm Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I have recieved this email from Western Australia in response to my email.I am sure some of Pomers must have recieved the same stupid response.I dont know who is sitting in their office to answer queires maybe little kids,you ask them one thing and they answer u another.Anyways i have emailed them again lets see what they have to say.Here is the email i got : " Thank you for your email dated regarding the occupation list relating to the Western Australian State Migration Plan (SMP). As you may be aware, the state sponsored visa program is one of several categories under the General Skilled Migration (GSM) and is subject to the recently signed Memorandum of Understanding between the Australian and State governments. The state sponsored program relates to eligible occupations for the following visa subclasses: • 176 Skilled – Sponsored (permanent); • 886 Skilled – Sponsored (residence); • 475 Skilled – Regional Sponsored (provisional); and • 487 Regional Sponsored (provisional). Eligible occupations for this program are listed in the Western Australian Skilled Migration Occupation List (WASMOL). The compilation of the WASMOL was based on extensive economic and labour market research in mid 2010 which identified those jobs which were in high demand or considered industry-critical in Western Australia. This research included information and priorities provided by industry, facilitated through the State Training Board’s Training Council network. At that time, the evidence indicated that while there was a demand for Computing Professionals (nec) ( 2231-79), it was not considered Top Priority, so it was not included on the SMP. It is acknowledged that the State’s labour market does change and as such the WASMOL will be reviewed on an annual basis. Work is already underway for the next review, which is expected to be completed by mid 2011. The review will take into account the most up to date labour market information and advice from industry. Please note that the inclusion of any new occupations on the WASMOL is subject to endorsement by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC). I hope this has been of assistance.
