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:

Dear Mr Nayakar, Thank you for your e-mail about your visa application under Australia’s General Skilled Migration programme. I can confirm your occupation has been changed on the 30 March 2009. For any further enquiries about the application you have lodged please refer to our website using the following link http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/visa...fessionals.htm



Kindly any one suggest .
I don't think you need to inform them you are on CSL since you already send PLE to change your occupation after Jan 2009 so they should automatically set it as CSL too. However, you can just send a PLE to make sure.

Hi Sunil,

Yes PLE is post lodgment enquiry. I told them that my computing qualification is recognized by ACS as 2231-79(C#, C++). To which they acknowledged that i am on CSL. So i think you need to raise PLE, just to make sure that they know you are on CSL.
Thanks.

In the same position. 885 visa also lodged 10/03/09. On a bridging visa and finding getting work very very difficult without PR. Only on SOL list. If there was some indication of a time scale it would help.

Priority Processing - Change From 1 January 2009

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
Critical Skills List (CSL).

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)

application via: http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/forms/gsm/post.htm

2. Applications with a nominated occupation on the Critical Skills List
(CSL) - are being processed in date of lodgment order. Information about
the CSL can be found on the department's website at:

What makes you think there are not going to be any updates until May? Is that the same with the Brisbane center?
sorry to ask, but I don't get where you get that info from.

I think what he is trying to say that even though it is updated every Monday, it has been EXACTLY the same for the last few weeks and will stay exactly the same until they have allocated all those on the CSL (end of May).

Hi,

One of my colleague has recently assigned CO (2nd week of April 2009). He applied back in September 2008. I heard that processing capacity of aspc is 1 month in a week currently. If the continue processed in this rate:
October 2008 by 3rd week of April 2009
November 2008 by 4th week of April 2009
January 2009 by 1st week of May 2009
February 2009 by 2nd week of May 2009
March 2009 by 3rd week of May 2009

If this is true then I hope I will be assigned a CO by the end of May 2009.

Any idea?

two weeks before that was my opinion too. But, if you try to trace the DIAC progress over the past to weeks you will get disappointed. they have spent most of the time processing August 2008 applications and still they could not finish it yet. let's hope the best!
