Hello ,
Recently some changes to Australian skilled migration system have been announced. You will find details on our website http://www.ozma.org
Outlines of changes are:
Processing Priority
1. - an application with a nominated occupation, which is NOT on the MODL (migration Occupation in Demad List) will be in the processing queue no 5.
2. - applications whose nominated occupation is on the MODL will be in the processing queue no. 4
3. - applications whose nominated occupation is on the CSL (Critical Skill List) will be in processing queue no. 3
4. - applicants who have managed to get sponsorship from a state, their applications will be in processing queue no. 2
5. - if any applicant is nominated by an employer then their application will be in processing queue no. 1
Nobody can say at the moment how long it will take for an application in queue 4 or 5 will be processed . Currently DIAC is only looking at processing queues 1, 2 and 3.
Annual migration intake
has been reduced to 115,000 per year - a reduction of 14% from the previous year.
Suggestion
Prospective applicants, instead of falling in queue no 4 or 5, where they do not know when their application will be assigned a case officer, should try to fall either
in queue no., 2 by applying for a state sponsorship OR
in queue no. 3 by preparing for an occupation which is in the CSL
Note: The CSL has just been updated (17/3/2009).
