is 175 now on priority??

[Gemrichjess]

hi everyone

i have just been reading through some of the posts and came across one that said that 175 csl & modL are now on priority????

is this true as my 175 application was submitted at the beg of dec last year and we are currently on the MODL list, we have also applied and are waiting for approval on a 176 state sponsorship visa too!

which one will come through first?

has anyone received their 175 visa recently and when did you get it submitted??

we are so despereate to go

Hi Gem:

If you get the state sponsorship that should come in first as that has priority 2 (right after employer sponsored). If you are only on MODL and not CSL then that is priority 4. Basically once they announced the priority system the first-come first served of the past went out the window.

Hi Gem, if u r on MODL, you are anyways on the waiting list, once the CSLs will clear then will come MODL.

Yes I know many CSL applicants who have got their visas. a friends who is an active member in this forum got his visa in 3 months, he had state sponsorship.

Hi Gem, just thought you'd like to know that we applied for a 176 in january 09 and were still waiting. Checking everyday but nothing!! its driving me and my hubby nuts. We are on the CSL and MODL and have queensland sponsership. The wait is exhausting and i have just had an offer on my house, so i'm in another dilemma without the visa. My agent has informed us that the 176 visa is taking approx 10 weeks but hey weve been waiting longer than that. They also told me that the staff at the DIAC are bogged down with applications and have not been given any extra staff to cope with the demand. So it looks like we could all be waiting a long time. Good luck with your and i hope you don't have to wait too long.

I have applied for online 175 Visa April 26 (CSL), today my status has a new entry ..https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/inquiry...o?action=eVisa

says " 06/05/2009 Application being processed further"

Does it mean anything?

It means it moved forward a bit, be watchful now as they will probably ask for more info soon.
