Re: Current Processing Times (continued)
For the fiscal year 2007-2008 there were over 23,000 visas granted that were in the CSL category (exact figure is available in the FAQ on the changes to the skilled migration program). This is many times higher than the number of state/territory sponsored visas.
Also at this time we know that DIAC will have the priority 1 applications allocated by in February, but that does not mean that they have the capacity to immediately start with the next category (as allocation is not the same as finalising a case, so there may be a significant stack of work for them to go through).
From another post it was suggested that applications that are in the next categories (CSL/MODL) will be handled per category based on the information at time of application. So it may still take significant time before an CSL application is handled.
Just my 2 cents...

Re: Current Processing Times (continued)
I am applying under Labour agreement subclass 120. Being employed by NSW Ambulance.
I have been told that this can get processed quite quickly. Anyone got any ideas??
