rahulpatel1969 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Lets watch out when the new minister gets time to turn his attention to the migration program. Right now seems they are firmly focused on boat people but lets hope they turn their attention back to us and i think Mr. Scott Morrison will surely make loads of changes.

samm Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 But when are they going to start 176?! Knowing when things will actually start moving will make the wait easier. But i guess only immi people will be able to tell... 176 should be within 12 mouths, same as 175 with lower priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazzarazza Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 So...... if Cat 5 consists of thousands of applications from 2007 to 2012 and they process in date order, can we assume that 2008 applicants (176/475/496 etc) should be hearing something very soon?

samm Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Regarding latest news, probably they would start 175 applicants shortly, and continue with other group 5 sub classes till end of 2014. https://www.facebook.com/MhajranAstralyaawlwyt5/posts/593239917386564?comment_id=6029654&offset=0&total_comments=3&ref=notif¬if_t=feed_comment_reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them sometime... This is a whole new government, they have just assumed power, they need to first assess the situation before making any announcements. I think it is better that they first study the skilled immigration pattern and situation properly and make policies that are based on some research rather than some minister's whims. and the first thing to grab their attention will be the boat people and onshore, but I am sure they will make up some policy announcement before the end of this year (this is my own analysis based on nothing so don't quote me!). Give them time to settle in guys, our time will come, God Willing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recieved only autoreply e-mail with the following information : "Updated – 17th September 2013 This mailbox is for use by applicants who have lodged a General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa application that has not been allocated to a visa processing officer. blablabla" Should they send me normal e-mail somthing like this " Your documents were attached" or how I can check if my documents were loaded or not?

In my case I was waiting my ielts result, and they advised me to wait till I got my result that attached it together with my application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
