Is that mean in 6 Months you got the VISA? Then its true that they say. Within 6 to 8 month we can get a result if we are in CSL or some one sponcering us. isn't it?

As Scottish Celts said things have changed a lot in a year, and even in the last few months.

Building trades are no longer on the CSL list so processing those visas could take longer. To see the CSL list and advice that was given from an agent please read the 'PLEASE READ....' post towards the top of this forum.

There is also a link to a time line thread in that post but since the rules have changed those time scales may no longer be accurate
