taniaholmes Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Just on this whole subject of new skills coming onto the State Migration lists. I just wanta point out that this additions are still within the total amount stated by DIAC. They are not extra to the original 24k visa allocation set out for state migration 2011/12. You can visit here for more info. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/migplan11-12.pdf So with this in mind, I again do not think it will slow things down too much as this is probably old news to DIAC and they've already baked this into their plans and timelines. And this is divided into each state if what I can remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyteris77 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 rahulpatel1969, how do you know that they are allocated to COs Cat 4 Feb 2011 applicants? I logded my application on 3 feb 2011 and received the letter of 18th March but no CO yet. I asked yesterday the deparment about the progress of my case (reminding the letter I received) but they refered to the official website where allocation dates are available. I am not sure even if the new deadline of 30th sep that was written in this thread is true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eng32 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I think all the UK Panel Doctors are E health, it means that they electronically send your medical reports direct to Australia for processing. It is much quicker this way so don't worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
