I hate to discuss politics here on this forum..... but, return of Kevin Rudd rekindles some hope, there might be some changes in the immigration policy and finally we FS Offshore applicants be looked upon...... :no:

 

 

 

 

I called immi today, they said at the moment they are not allocating any group 5 176 visas, which means all the G5 176 visa

 

applications remain untouched. And they said they are waiting for the minister's announcement on what is going to happen

 

which probably will be released next week. I am really sick of this endless waiting, it's been more than 5 years! What i am going to

 

do is to lodge a complaint on the immi feedback website　 http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/forms/services/services-form.htm

 

and also to contact the immi minister http://www.minister.immi.gov.au/brendanoconnor/contact-details/. Hope by doing this would

 

at least bring some of their attention to the forgotten G5 176 applicants!

Hi Bull and others

 

I hate to say it but I do fear the worst and that the announcement may be one to cease all of our applications. So, don't get too excited expecting something positive as when did we ever get any positive news during this process? I had also hoped that the new PM may be a good thing for our languishing applications but I guess time will tell. I'm expecting the worst while hoping for the best.:no:

Hi All

 

Interesting although a few months old. Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel after all?

Hi Celeste

 

Even I guessed it based on the same article.... Kevin Rudd favoured a Big Australia and foreign immigrants. Atleast an exact picture of where we actually stand and when we would be processed (at all in the first place!!!!) would be a great favour for the moment. Keepin fingers crossed

Use Twitter to reach PM Kevin Rudd...... '(at the rate)KRuddMP', for some reason I became his follower a year back, he does Tweet regularly. I guess you can follow him and tweet you concerns. Use brevity while tweeting.

I sent him a couple already, hopefully he reads it. Once he gets a few hundred tweets on processing Offshore immigrants, he will take action for sure. Good Luck

I will never trust him.......yet the bill for 457 managed to pass the lower house yesterday,

 

http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/political-news/457-visa-laws-squeak-through-20130627-2oyri.html

 

As I said earlier, he was the one after winning the election in 2007 to:

 

1. Dismantled the Howard's border control resulting influx of boats

2. Introduced Cap & Cease Bill

3. Overhauled the skill migration

4. Terminated some offshore applicants

 

I stop listen to politicians, as the only good politician is a dead one...........:mad:

Hi Sekena, Bull

 

I really like the idea of reaching kevin, and raise to him the dreadful journey of us who not knowing what is going to happen with our applications.

if we can do this as a group of ppl I literally mean a lot of us, engaged with him and raise our concern maybe it will bring to his attention.

 

what's your thought?

honestly after been waiting so long, contacted immi dept, seek help from migration agent none of them really could speed up process.

maybe this option worth of trying?

FOR ALL THOSE FRIENDS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN TWEETING THE PM '(at the rate)KRuddMP' : This is what I suggest, let us all sent a consistent tweet to the PM so that he sees a uniformity. This is what I have sent, you may choose to send the same tweet with the exact text. It's concise and to the point and falls within the 140 characters allowed for a tweet.

 

Send at least 1 tweet every alternate day, so it gets noticed, please advise all other offshore applicants that you know to do the same.

Dear Hon. Mr. Rudd, Please advise DIAC to process P5 Off shore applicants, we have been waiting for over 4-5 years to immigrate. Thank you

You are right...it is very quite.

 

Well, the new cabinet ministers will be announced today.

 

It is very likely that there will be a new Immigration Minister. Tony Burke is very likely to take up the portfolio'

 

Before the 2007 federal election, He was the shadow minister for Immigration.

 

Here we are, after ALP took office in 2007, Australia has Chris Evans, Chris Bowen, Brendan O'Connor, and possibly today,'

Tony Burke.

 

What happen next? Who the hell knows......this govt. has stuffed up almost everything.:arghh:
