cat4er Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thank you very much for your answer. Now I understand. Unfortunately it doesn't look good for us! :cry:Do you know, is it possible to apply for a ss in an other state who's our occupation under SMP is although we already have submittet our visa application? I think you have to lodge a new application but if there is a chance I would go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have applied 475 visa (sponsor by Blood relative - Victoria). last march DIAC informed me that i am at cat-03. my occupation is in new SOL. but recently Victoria has closed ICT occupations from their state migration plan. Hence, as i feel, i will be fallen in to cat 04 from cat 03....... am i correct?........... your reply will be really appreciated..... this is they have mentioned new requirements for cat-03 " category 3 - Nominated by a state or territory government agency for an occupation specified on that agency’s state migration plan " thanx :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: samk6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest myhillg Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 This is really interesting information, thanks! Is this email something that is given only to agents? Or is it possible for applicants to get something like this directly from DIAC? I am unsure about wheather to apply for 175 now or wait till I finish studying and apply for 885 in December - from this, its seems the backlog for 885 is smaller...

Guest VXM665 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Nice to hear that VE175 has started to process again. It means that overloaded applications by state sponored just before the recent policy changes occured delayed the process the VE175 as said by DIAC for PLE. DIAC might have cleared them and come to their normal tract as it was pretty fast. They were moving couple of months every fortnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
