Darkwing Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I haven't been on this forum for quite some time now and I see the applications list ends in November 2009. I wonder how many people on this list are still awaiting visas? I ask this question as I see it is way down in current threads and not very active.I believe that there is a whole new change to the criteria required for immigration. Does that mean one would need to re-apply at any point? Is IELTS still valid in this case? We applied 20 June 2008 and I am a tradesman/business owner. I keep getting told of the shortages they are experiencing for trades people in Australia but they appear to not need any trades people in the auto/mining/diesel industry anymore.As I said, I have been out of this forum for a while now and any links to posts related to addressing these issues/concerns would be most welcome.Thanksanother updateFebruary '08Pieter&Rene.... 2008-03-06 - VISA GRANTED!!!!!!! 03 July 2009HouseInOz ..... 2008-03-07 - VISA GRANTED !!!!!! 01 July 2009Pygmalion ...... 2008-03-30 "26/03/09 - VISA GRANTED!"April '08Lisa..................2008-04-02Gena ............. 2008-04-04 - VISA GRANTED!!!!!! 16 November 2009sa2auz ........... 2008 -04-07 - Changed to ENS got it within 7 dayselize................ 2008-04-08 - Changing our application to ENS.... sick of waiting!Tobold..............2008-04-09 - Granted 1st May 2009Moose..............2008-04-09 - Visa approved 23/03/2009Katy............... 2008-04-15Scotts............. 2008-04-18 - Case officer received 2009-03-19 (Java developer)Taegan ...........2008 -04-24 - Processing Further 2009-03-15.

The top skilled application priorities that are moving at the moment are those on the new SMP lists (state sponsored) and the new (Post July 2010) SOL list. There is a new points system expected to come out July 2011. New SOL http://www.saaustralia.org/index.php?showtopic=29234New Points test http://www.saaustralia.org/index.php?showtopic=31273The SMP lists are state specific and have only been published for VIC, ACT, and NT so far. The rest are due out soon.On the list you show aboveThe ones I know about are Cramer got his visa this weekand the lovely Waglio is still waiting but hopefully will be on a SMP soon.

Kit Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I didn't update my name on the list?!?! Oops! We got our visa on 12 March, after submitting PCCs 14/01/10 and Meds 15/01/10. This thread has been pretty much 'idle' for so long though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
