Anyone want to watch a grown man cry?

How can state sponsor get the visa after completing the medical and pcc finalized?

do u think they would wait for 3 yrs if the state wants the skill right now? why would the state have the skill in their list if they have the skill to fill jobs right now. it is contradictory, and this doesnt state GSM with state sponsored would be processed after/in 2012.

If your application fall into one of the priority categories (sponsorship), then it will not be the case.

extract from the faq:
Q11 My application does not fall into one of the priority categories. When can I expect to have my application finalised?

If your nominated occupation is not on the CSL and you have applied for an offshore GSM visa or intend to apply for an offshore GSM before the end of 2009, it is unlikely that your visa will be finalised before the end of 2012.

If your nominated occupation is not on the CSL and you applied for an onshore GSM visa or intend to apply for an onshore GSM before the end of 2009, it is unlikely that your visa will be finalised before the end of 2011.

Yes You are quite right. But DIAC likely to implement according to the minister's direction. As you said I agree this is not practical, but who knows; They are currently targeting only a set of occupations.

[anj1976]

be positive and good things happen.

I believe the CSL list for Computer Professionals has not changed... and by God's grace the Priority of CSL applicants has moved one step up.

[anj1976]

yes cintai, it hasn't changed but from what i have read, it is due to change soon. keep your fingers crossed.

By change do you mean the CSL?

[anj1976]

yes the CSL is due to change, they were to review it in September, it is possible that they change, or incase they feel the current list is alright, they might not.

Ahuh, well I guess we have to wait till October to see if any of the changes impacts any of our cases.
