Guest DCAL Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I think you are missing the point there are loads of Cat 5's who have SS which is still valid with the applications ... Hairdressers cooks bricklayers etc, who were placed lower due to changes .... they are now back on the lists therefore they will be valid, with there prior given state sponsorship this doesnt have bearing on the new list. If it is open it means there is more space then they have and need. All trades & professions are equally important to each other if needed by the state/country. Yes, but those who have SS from prior to the changes can only proceed if their SS is for WA, and the extra spaces that have been opened by WA are still limited and any applicant from before will have to fill these spaces (Not extra ones). These applications have also probably been ring fenced by DIAC knowing that WA would be changing their lists, therefore I know this offers a little bit of light for some applicants, the large majority I suspect wont be as they more than likely have SS from other states and therefore would have to reapply to WA for sponsorship like any new application though they would be prioritized based on their original lodgement date.

I went from work in Perth to the medical centre on Williams Street having drunk 3 cups of coffee and saving going to the loo because I knew I had to give a urine sample. When I gave the sample.....lets just say it was very dark from where Id been holding. When they tested the urine I unfortunately failed the first and second test. They advised I go and drink plenty of water have a walk and return in an hour.... which I did (5 pints of water, a KFC and large coke). The third test , the urine was clear as can be due to the amount Id drunk....I passed. Moral of this story.......... Drink plenty of water prior to your medical and dont hold... :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogdan Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 More to the point, is anyone doing any work today??? Too much banter going on in the office so I hardly did any work today The sun is shining here in London and I can only day dream about being down under and getting that Visa.... The sun keeps going behind the clouds every few minutes. I so much hate the clouds in the UK as it always feels cold when the sun goes behind them. In other countries one could still enjoy the warm weather even when the sky is overcast. Oh, and it's gonna rain tonight. And tomorrow. And the day after tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vzdrul Sharikoff Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hi guys!! How are you doing? Could anyone of you give me some links: 1. to attach docs 2. to check my current status The matter is that all these links were in my Favourites but in my laptop. My wife has taken it to her work as she needed it for 2 weeks or so. I have got a new computer and am lacking these links now. I want to attach one doc. Thank you in advance. P.S. By the way, I read on another forum that one guy was allocated with a CO today (e-lodged 20101217, class 175). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
