Guest DCAL Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Anyone seen this before? http://www.immi.gov.au/gateways/agents/pdf/skilled-migration-update.pdf I'm guessing it was made pre-July and the that the page that says about processing all Cat 3 (now Cat 4) by end of January 2011 should read January 2012.

"Applications lodged outside of Australia by the of end June 2011 we expect to have allocated all applications lodged before January 2011." No, they mean January 2011. This document came out in May or June if I remember correctly. There is an obvious lack of punctutation in this sentence but I'm fairly sure they mean that "by the of end June 2011, we expect to have allocated all applications lodged before January 2011." which is what aimed for at that time (see 18th March letter).

Yes I remember this and if they hadn't of put the 13 occupations back on the SOL they would of most likely have achieved this but they have only got as far as September I don't think that was bad considering all the old applicants they are working through.

Thanks for clearing that up, So basically, non of this has happened as there are still many applicants from 2010 who are waiting for a CO unless they are being processed in the back ground.

taniaholmes Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Agree, but surely they would have known that by adding the extra occupations it would affect these timelines? Maybe at the time they hadn't decided what occupations would be put on the SOL or they could only speak about what the public knows at that time.

Tania Well they should have achieved that target by the end of June 2011 hence before adding those 13 occupations back on the SOL. I think there were other factors that slowed them down, like an influx of aplications from the categories with a higher priority. On the other hand they might have been too optimistic when they estimated (a lot of people estimate in "ideal days", not taking into account potential risks), so I reckon that was more like a best case scenario.

Guest IoanHoria Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 "Applications lodged outside of Australia by the of end June 2011 we expect to have allocated all applications lodged before January 2011." the sentence is correct for the date it was published. On 16th and 18th march 2011 some 10000 applicants received an e-mail which said that they should prepare meds, PCCs and Form80 because they will be allocated to a CO within 3 month (that meant till june 2011)...in july this year DIAC extended that time until september 2011 (there are cases of app lodged in january and february 2011 that received that letter, but yet no CO)...but it seems that almost all apps of 2010 that received that letter (actualy all of who are in ex-cat 3, now cat 4) are allocated... anyway, it's a good read even if it's outdated...
