Hi everyone, just a quick question if anyone has any idea what the processing time would be for a 175 visa which is on the Critical Skills List?

Thanks.

I don't think anyone will be able to give you a clear answer on that. The impact of DIAC's new priority structure implemented this month has yet to be felt. Certainly all attention seems to be on 176 state sponsored visa applications at the moment, but critical skills is next down the list, so if they meet their target of passing all 176's onto a case officer by 13/2/09, the pile of critical skills applications will probably be looked at next.

check this thread it where there is an anlysis that might be a good estimate.

Still we have to wait and see.

Now i am in a fix ,we have some 175 VISA applicants with their trades on both MODL and CSL and all the states have got this trade on their skill list.Such an applicant is not state sponsored.Where does such an applicant fall into or treated.Please advise please.
