yc1ten Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 All I can add is that who knows what will happen to the processing when SkillSelect comes in. Does an invite guarantee a positive outcome? Will they invite 1000 applicants a week considering 1000 cases are allocated per week to COs? Will priorities change in July? Will all current GSM applicants be put in one heap (current Cat 1s, 3-5) and SkillSelect the other giving SkillSelect the higher priority? Let's hope as many applicants are granted visas before July because who knows what's coming. What worry me is if this EX Prime Minister is reinstalled. It was under his government the migration program started to underway a massive overhaul, not to mention the CAP AND KILL bill. Only God knows... http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/kevin-rudd-marches-towards-labor-leadership-challenge/story-fn59niix-1226274289396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
