The removal of the occupation from the sol will change the priority of processing my application from priority 4 to priority 5. The latter is a black hole. This relegation will happen even if CO has been allocated while the occupation is delisted. So one is not safe until the 175 visa is granted.
Ha... So you thought Aussie immigration rules were pretty simple?

Are the SOL change a lot from one year to another?
I have been assessed as Developer Programmer (261312) but now I wonder if I should have tried for Software Engineer (261313), which seems a step higher.

I am looking for specific information reg when sol 2012 will be released. I went through the blog. Does not say anywhere that sol will be announced by June 2012 although that is most likely. Can you pl copy paste the specific comment made by diac, if any?

Thanks for all the info here.. What is Consolidated SOL ? do you mean SOL 1 and SOL 2 would be combined ? or two different SOL would be released the same way it use to be ?

There will be one consolidated sponsored occupation list which replaces the existing 457 occupation list, the Employer Nomination Skilled Occupation List (ENSOL) and the State and Territory Sponsored Occupation List (StatSOL)

Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186)

Also, DIAC has extended the validity of the IELTS Test Results for Australian General Skilled Migration (GSM) Applications to 3 years. Keeping in mind the time frame one might have to wait to get an invitation after EOI.

Will there be an SOL 1 and SOL 2 after July 1? I don't see DIAC differentiating between SOLs for 189 and 190. Currently for 175 your occupation must be under SOL 1 whereas for 176 occupation must be under SOL 1/2. But will there be only one SOL for both 189 and 190? Confused.
