gwheng Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Nopes the new govt. doesnt really matter. Just think logically that Australian budget is already in Deficit and they want more people into their country as well as money. Whatever the government it wont be feasible for them so its a win win situation only thing is a matter of time. hi Gagan, do you know think if the next term goes to liberal hand, the processing of long waited applications will get processed lot more quicker? Under previous Howard government ppl got their PR granted within 12mth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leoj76 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 whats pretty bad news for many of us.... look what answer i got from the diac for complaining... The department is required to consider the number of available places for specific visa categories. Due to the number of places available for SRS applicants this program year, the department will limit the processing of cases in this visa category. This will mean that many current Priority Group 5 SRS applicants will not have their applications processed in the 2013-14 program year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celeste Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi Everyone This is what my reputable Aussie based immigration agents sent me in a newsletter on Monday. Something positive A GLIMMER OF HOPE FOR PROCESSING CATEGORY FIVE CLIENTS We would like to update clients on some possible good news for those who are waiting for their subclass 175 and 176 visa applications to be processed. We have a number of clients in this category. These are general skilled visa applications that were lodged as far back as 2007 and have not been processed. This has been a cause of significant disappointment and frustration for our clients and for ourselves. At a recent training seminar for Migration Agents in Sydney we were advised that DIAC expect all category five applications to be processed during this fiscal year ie before 30 June 2014. This is due to the very low take up of applications under SkillSelect. Whilst there are no guarantees and the information is not from DIAC, we are hopeful that this will happen and that the many long suffering applicants will finally get what they are entitled to and that is the processing of their applications. We will of course update clients as soon as we have more information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without_Logic Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just want to hear about 176 FS now. We were hoping to be capped and ceased as our intentions to migrate have changed now. My parents still live in Oz (now recognised citizens) but we have put down new roots here and I have started a new career path. Ironically with the new qualifications and skills gained since my original application my family would be in a better position to apply now and would not have to wait too long under Skills Select. I'd rather have a refund on my current application than wait in Limbo any longer, and start fresh later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
