Re: Why change in ASPC update regarding CSL
Sorry, but I'm not prepared to take on the task myself of posting the email response each week
IF no-one else does and I happen to remeber I'll email them, but as I'm not waiting for a visa myself I'm making no promises.

This is an automated e-mail response which provides updated information on skilled migration applications being processed by the Adelaide Skilled Processing Centre (ASPC). Please do not reply to this email address as this mailbox is not monitored. Contact details for the ASPC are listed below.
Priority Processing - Change From 1 January 2009
Following recent announcements by the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, in response to the current global economic environment, processing of General Skilled Migration applications gives first priority to applications in the following two categories:
1. Applications with a successful State or Territory Nomination; and
2. Applications where the nominated occupation is identified on the

Note: Due to the number of applications in the above two categories, on hand and being received, applications not on the CSL, or applications without a successful State or Territory nomination, will be delayed until those applications which meet the processing priorities are finalised. This includes those on the Migration Occupations in Demand List (MODL)

Quite conveniently, ASPC has even stopped dating it's (supposedly) weekly updates. Now it is the same as was there last week and the week before.
Of course, they also stopped giving any timelines for Case officer allotment for CSL cases.
So unfair, takes away all the pressure off them ;-)

Re: CURRENT PROCESSING TIMES - ASPC/GSMB UPDATES THREAD
Some of you need to bear in mind that being able to get ANY kind of update is a recent innovation. Not so long back, one submitted one's apliation and one waited and waited and waited, at one time for about three years, before hearing anything at all.
How about being grateful that in today's electronic world at least you have some idea what is happening?

Hello Rehman,
First of all according to you PLE means Post Lodgement Enquiry?
IF yes, what did you mentioned in the enquiry?
IS it that I am also on CSL listing as I applied for GSM 175 visa I am recognised my ASC as 2231-79(J2EE Specialist).
So do I need to raise a PLE to make them KNow that my application is also on CSL list?
I am waiting for response so that I can also let them know about my application.
One more thing, I had mentioned my occupation as Application or Analsyt programmer, When I called DIAC and enquired about my application, the person on the phone suggested me that as I had choosed the wrong occupation , my application cannot be under CSL, to get my application under CSL i need to choose my occupation as Computing Professional(nec).
I raised a PLE for this change and I got the confirmation that they have changed my occupation as computing professional (NEC)
Email I got from Adelaide PRocessign Center is below:
