Mr.Ali

Dear All,

Today I got an email from my CO that states following:

"Form 80 Question 24 - Education History
There is a gap in your education history details. Please provide details for the period June 1999
- April 2001 which has not been accounted for."

During that period I was working. When I was filling Form 80 I understand to provide educational history only (as I am not using agent).

Now I have to provide working evidence for this period.

My question is that I have to provide Form 80 again with this period evidence OR only related page of Form 80 and this period evidence?

Regards,

Ali

I think you should provide all pages of form 80 again with updated data.
In my case I also made a change in one question and then i sent again form 80 whole copy as attachment before co asking.

Dear aahmed

Thanks for the answer.

By the way, any body from Team 5? . Any grant news from team 5 lately?

jayel

My case is assigned to Team 5. I've submitted all the requested documents on April 20th but still no news. I also followed up with an email to the CO 9 days ago and still haven't heard anything back.

Even I am from Team 5, waiting for grant as every document shows as met. But frankly I don't believe in the fact that one team is faster than other team. haven't seen a post giving a concrete example since last one year.

I raised a PLE to confirm if they have received my documents and got a standard reply as below! Doesn't mean much but still hoping the PLE gets my application noticed!

"Thank you for your email in relation to your visa application under Australia's General Skilled Migration program.

Your email has been referred to the processing area. You will receive a response in relation to the status of your application in due course.

We appreciate your patience in this matter."

Dear afzal,

For General Skilled Migration Post-Lodgement Enquiry,
you need to fill following form , its an E-Form and submit.

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

In addition All documents for unallocated GSM 175/176 applications must be sent to: [email protected].

Hope above help you.

Dear azfal,

I had called them (The DIAC in adelaide) and they ask me to write to [email protected] as I am from team 5.

In subject header, write down your full name, DOB, and name of your CO.
In the body, request the application status.
and wait for reply on next 10 working days.

However, I did not write to them eventually since I listened to the phone operator told that they receive more than 30k applicants daily and grant more than 11k applicants daily with another 300 given citizenship daily.

Besides that, My agent do told me that it is fine to wait for about 2~3 months once all met or medical finalised. It is still not appropriate time to write to them within the time frame.

So, what else, just wait!

cheers

Minister's announcement of new Skilled Occupations List – 17 May

On 17 May 2010, the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Chris Evans, announced the list of occupations included in the new Skilled Occupation List (SOL). The introduction of a new list of occupations is part of a package of reforms that reflects the Government's commitment to a labour market demand-driven Skilled Migration Program.

Dear vinodjose

Please take a look to this page
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/gener...aq-new-sol.pdf

Page 4 state that:
I lodged an application for a GSM visa before the minister announced the new list of occupations. Would I be affected by these proposed changes?
Any pending GSM visa applications lodged before the new list of occupations comes into effect would not be affected by this change.

And also this:
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/gener...temp-spnsn.pdf

page 1 line 1:
The Australian Government has decided to temporarily suspend the acceptance of new applications for certain General Skilled Migration (GSM) visas.

and this (last 2 paragraph):
Applications for affected visa subclasses submitted on or after 8 May 2010 will be considered invalid and the application will be returned to the client together with the Visa Application Charge (VAC).

or read this:
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/gener...suspension.pdf

We all here are December 2009 applicants, so we are still fine.

cheers

Thax bro.

If they are granting 11k applicants daily, that makes it over 4 million grants a year, which is not the case. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

jayel

I think you need to discount the weekends and public holidays and also the 11k grants could also be inclusive of all the subclasses of visa.

11K daily
