Default any news??

Hi everyone

just wanting to to know if there are any changes to the migration system? the last thing i was told back in november was that there was now a 36 month wait to get our visas! not good news when when its already taken us 2 years to get to the point of being issued a case oficer!

sort of had a break of chasing the australian dream and now am as keen as ever to get some good news, just wondering if anything has changed or is likely too?

any info would be great!!

Hi Gemrichjess,

There were major changes on Feb 8th which have affected a lot of people. Either go to the DIAC site directly or check out the links at the top of the 'PLEASE READ....' sticky post since that has links to DIAC and to a few threads on here with the discussion about the changes.

Regards,
Karen

For a brief overview, check out my post "Australia to reject 20,000 immigration applications" as I linked it to a news article explaining some of the changes.
