Guest DCAL Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Paid a visit to Australia House yesterday morning to get the labels put in our passports. It was quite interesting sat there while waiting listening to everyone else's story as they told the agent behind the glass window (you can not but hear their story due to the intercom system being soooo loud). There was a very very naive young 20 yr old guy and his Australian girl friend on one side who had obviously been to oz on a working holiday visa and now wanted to go back and live there full time. He had no skills and didn't live with his Aussie Mrs and he wanted the women behind the counter to just give him a visa. He started saying stuff like, the Aussie government are not very compassionate etc etc, and in the end sounded like he was begging. I just wanted to shake him and say.....its not that easy mate, wake up and small the coffee. Its like a machine, if you have nothing to offer Australia or you dont meet the requirements, your not getting in. The women even gave him alternatives, like going on a student visa while they lived together or got engaged and then getting a partner visa), though explained it was expensive, but the guy just wasn't listening, he just wanted to go and work. I guess it was just naivety on his part. I sat that and thought of all of us on this forum and the hardships some have had to go through (3 years of waiting etc), the stress etc to get where we are. You then had the guy on the other side of me, who had especially flown in from Monaco (probably on his private jet) just to register the birth of his new daughter and to get her an Aussie passport.....arrr how the other half live. Now on operation de-clutter to get the house on the market for first week in January. Good Luck everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpremji Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Thanks for this Tania, a really interesting read.... They say there are around 5544 Cat 4 applications in the system as of 18th November with DIAC allocating around 1000 a week (i know not all 1000 with be Cat 4's)....so we are looking at 6-8 weeks for them to reach July 2011? Personally thats great news for someone like me who lodged in June 2011 and was told it would take approx 18 months to get a visa... When DIAC say 'this program year' for allocating Cat 5's , is that this calendar year or do they have a different start/end date for their 'year'? http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/gsm-priority5-processing.htm This is a link about process of cat 5, I think it is good news for them also is say how many are left in cat 4 so may be of interest to you all.

ODIN20123 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Thank you Tania, interesting link! Although I check the Immi What´s New page daily I have missed it :goofy: The 2010-2011 Program year has ended September 2010 http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/migplan11-12.pdf I would also guess that the number of applicants has started to rise in April 2011 and was especially high in May and June 2011 due to the old points test ending. This would also explain why the allocation rate has slowed down a bit. Judging by the numbers of the DIACs post numbers there are 2842 offshore applicants remaining which applied until end of June 2011 under the old points test. And maybe 200 applicants who lodged their applications in Australia. So in total approx 3000 applicants until End of June 2011. Starting with July 1st 2011, the number of applicants has decreased considerably, so they will propably be able to finally allocate Prio 5 applicants when they reach this date! So good news for all of us (Prio4 and Prio5) :rolleyes: Now the only thing which I need is a CO! :biglaugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj27 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 This is great news for cat5! If I understand correctly, they have 6000 cat4 in the backlog, which is max 2 months worth of processing? So somewhere in Feb2012 they should start processing cat5? Apart from that they received an average of 200 cat4 new applications a week since 1 Juli 2011, let's say they get 100 a week for cat 1 and 3 (that's a complete guess, so don't ask me where I got that), which means they can do about 700 a week for cat5 after that. There is 43k of cat5 backlog, which takes about 60 weeks (14 months)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
