Allocation for CSL back to May 2009
Hi Guys,
I received this today from a PLE lodged 10 days ago:
Dear Mr X,
Thank you for your e-mail about your visa application under Australia’s General Skilled Migration programme.
At this stage your visa application has not been allocated to a case officer.
From 1 January 2009, the new Ministerial Direction gives priority processing to applications strictly in the following order:
1. employer sponsorship; then
2. State or Territory Sponsorship; then
3. an occupation on the Critical Skill List (CSL); then
4. Business Skills; then
5. an occupation on the MODL (Migration Occupation Demand List)
6. All other applications
We are currently in the process of identifying and allocating all State or Territory Sponsored applications. In addition, allocation of cases with occupations on the CSL has commenced. CSL applications are allocated in date of lodgement order.
To check current allocation dates, please send a blank email to: [email protected]
I can confirm that Adelaide are aiming to have all CSL applications allocated to case officers by the end of May 2009.
Any further updates to our new processing priorities will be posted on the DIAC website at: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/gener.../whats-new.htm which we encourage you to review on a regular basis.

Re: Allocation for CSL back to May 2009
No, is not a mistake, it is the second time from a different source that I see business in the new priority list.
I don't think the C.O from Brisbane are much aware about the timeline of Adelaide. I'm not confident with his statement.

Re: Allocation for CSL back to May 2009
As I said earlier, if I don't see the same message from a C.O in Adelaide, not Brisbane, I won't believe the statement about finalizing CSLers at the end of May.

when it reach december 2008 application. then it will be the right time to get your PCC and then your medical.
The same I did, my PCCs required 2.5 months to get. so already I asked for these and they will be ready by end of may. then I am planing to get the medical test.
BTW I am feb 2009 applicant!!

Re: Allocation for CSL back to May 2009
I am a March 09 CSL applicant also and not sure whether it is best to front load meds, pcc or just to wait. Have sure are you that we should get a co by May/June time???? It could be later this year do you think?
