Mate you could write those big paras here but couldn't update with the update lol..well congrats mate..long time coming

 

lol

had a lot of things to settle with my agent

 

a word of advice for all of 886 who use an immigration agent

prepare your sponsor documentation up-to-date, because the agent would request it regardless the official letter from your case officer does not state that, fair enough i guess...the agent probably taking a precaution.

 

for example, i was using my brother who studied full-time for sponsorship, and the agent require an official letter of enrollement from the uni to confirm my brother's study, that alone could take 2 weeks for the uni to settle and deliver the letter to your agent.

 

another friend who uses her aunt whose a housewife was only required a proof of address and possibly certified PR label on the passport

 

from the looks of it, it might be case by case scenario based on your sponsor condition at the time of your application.

Hi Ricky,

 

I'm also a 886er FS on Dec/2009... I've got the same status message from… 2010... but nothing really happened...

Bus since some FS886ers early July have got their cos allocated, it's likely moving to Aug! So it would be a good news for ya!!

Fingers crossed for all FS886ers

ARS, Wongkitogalo, Keep believing in something that’s not true, no one can help you.

As for Gagan, Please continue with your misguided updates.

Cheers, am happy for you.

 

Really Sekena. Fine words from someone who has contributed what, exactly, to the forum?

 

Anyway, Gagan you are an absolute superstar. Below has just been copied and pasted from the DIAC website......

 

"The planning level for the Skilled Regional Sponsored (formerly known as Skilled Australian Sponsored (Family sponsored)) GSM category of the 2012-13 Migration Program has been increased, and allocation of Skilled Regional Sponsored (SRS) is resuming. This category is for applicants who have been sponsored by an eligible relative. SRS visas include:

 

 

  • Skilled Sponsored subclass 176

  • Skilled Regional Sponsored subclass 475....."

     

     

    Not much longer now folks.

     

    Cheers, Kazzarazza :biggrin:

someone may or may not like gagan, but there is no denying that the info he has provided up until now have hit the bulls eye. he told us that in sept/oct 2012 cat 5 processing will start.it did. he said that FS applicants will start pretty soon(whereas even i was skeptical about that prediction). there's the update now.some people just cant contribute even a dime to this forum, but atleast please dont belittle other people's contributions. go get a life mate. its easier to opine mindlessly.

Hi Folks, Some people on this forum are living like a frog in the well, anyway only they can help themselves.

 

To the remainder of my friends, please look at the bigger picture, for instance if you go on other blogs like 'EOI Submitted Clubs' or 'PG3 blogs' you will notice that there are close to a thousand applications being submitted in the mentioned categories per week. At this rate with 10 weeks to go before the close of this program year, we can only expect to see a spike in applications. This only means that PG-5 is going to get pushed back to July & even then we will need to wait for the allocation to happen. So realistically based on past trends the processing will start only in August-2013 in date of lodgement order. Now don't forget that there is a federal election in September'13, god knows what will happen to processing when that happens. I recall back in late 2007 - Early 2008 during the time I was applying, Chris Evans succeeded Kevin Andrews & during the build up to the election in Nov 2007 & up to few months after the election, there was absolutely no movement on processing. So there's that side of the story & finally I don't intend to scare you, but there is the option of CAP & CEASE..something similar to what the Canadian Immigration did in 2012 to get rid of the backlog.

 

So please don't set expectations based on what you see on these forums.

I am in same boat with all you folks for the last 5 years, so I completely understand that everyone is looking for a light at the end of the tunnel. It's there and you will see it sooner or later.

 

Good Luck....

Hi All,

 

hope you all are fine i got an email and thought i should share it with you folks too. By the way enough fighting here:biggrin:

 

Thank you for your email.

 

If your General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa application has already been allocated to a case officer for assessment, we will respond within seven (7) working days.

 

This mailbox should only be used by clients to communicate with case officers about allocated GSM applications. Enquiries about cases not yet allocated to a case officer will not be responded to from this mailbox. For information on how to obtain further information on the status of an unallocated application, please refer below.

 

Please make sure that you include the primary applicant's full name, date of birth, your case officer’s name and either the file reference number or Transaction Reference Number or Request ID when you communicate with us.

Providing Documents

The preferred method of providing documents for applications lodged online is to attach documents online: http://www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/general-skilled-migration-attachments.htm

 

It is not necessary to send this office any original documents or provide paper copies of documents that have been attached to the browser or sent by e-mail. If an original document is required you will receive a specific request to provide it.

 

If you are submitting documents in response to an information request letter from your case officer, please ensure that you have ALL the required documentation before communicating with us.

 

Pre-Lodgement Enquiry

If you have not lodged a GSM visa application, and would like more information, use the GSM Pre-Lodgement Enquiry Form at: http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/forms/gsm/pre.htm

 

Post-Lodgement Enquiry

If you have lodged a GSM visa application and your enquiry relates to when your application is likely to be assessed by a case officer, please see: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/lodged-information.htm

 

Information on processing times, other useful links and current information about GSM processing arrangements can be accessed via this webpage.

 

If you have lodged a GSM visa application, but have not yet been contacted by a case officer, and you have further enquiries, use the GSM Post-Lodgement Enquiry Form at:http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/forms/gsm/post.htm

 

You can also contact the General Skilled Migration processing centres by telephone on 1300 364 613. However, please be aware that due to high demand you will experience long delays in speaking to an operator.

 

Hope it will help anyone despite i dont know anything about procedures.
