"Because of these things Australia have become strict and have no loop holes in their Immigration policy?"
Then you would be correct the more strict the rules the more safe we can live here in Australia, if there are loop holes then Australia would attract the wrong type of people.

Re: INDIAN APPLICANTS
Unlike Americans and Canadians, the Aussies tend to look at everyone through the "window of nationality".
If one person from a certain country is bad , the "entire" country is bad or rather "HIGH RISK".
I know of many who studied in Australia and later worked in Australia - no verification of qualifications/experience required from foreign sources - yet CO assigment is delayed because first priority given to applicants from low risk countries.

I can second this as I have worked in the "back up" position for several very large companies. I have worked with several Indian off-shore teams, some of their members are exceptionlly good at there jobs but others seem to struggle.

My company recruited me on a 457 so that I could determine if Australia is the place for me, I'm sure these companies who offered you all these wonderful jobs would be delighted to pay the $500 and you get 4 years to apply for PR.
I can understand that not everyone from India is corrupt, but if the Australian Government has put India in a high risk category then they must have been receiving a lot of false information, I hate to think how many DIAC CO waste so much time on wild goose chase from Indian applicants. There must be many other applicants from low risk countries frustrated with this.
Look I am just telling you how it is, Australia does not judge any country unless it has good reason, these tend to be of a security nature. For a country to be granting so many visas every day Australia does not need terrorist sleeper cells to sneak in the back door under the guise of a skilled immigrant so anyone from a High Risk area has to be checked for all our safety.
Looking back over you posts I can see that you have a certain arrogance that because you feel as if there is so much hype about India being some sort of Engineering/IT mecca that you should be have special treatment, Yeah look India is going through an IT revolution but thats because labour is cheap, its still a 3rd world country thats trying to boost its economic world power. It will happen at some stage but its along way off so you just have to accept that and get over it

Re: INDIAN APPLICANTS
Again, IMHO, Australia is a sovereign country and it's none of your business how they implement their immigration policies. If you feel discriminated, stay away from Oz! I would think you will carry that mentality with you in Oz, you will always say people are racist when you are inconvenienced/unsuccessful. I honestly hate people with that kind of mentality!!!
If Australia is lax about background checks, Australia will end up like the US or UK with many immigrants of dubious backgrounds. As someone from HR country, I can feel the frustration of waiting, but I'd rather be inconvenienced now than live in Oz with these dubious people in the future.

Re: INDIAN APPLICANTS
Hey Commonwealth, i think u just need to relax a bit with this arrogant attitude of urs. We all know that u have the PR of Australia now, but it doesn't mean that u stop being polite with ur fellow HR applicants who can in some cases put up questions that may seem silly to u.
U also need to realise that a lot of people visit this forum to garner some knowledge and are not aware with issues such as India being a HR country, which in turn may seem surprising to them as not everyone uses fraudalent documents in India.
So i would advice u to just chill and try to be polite with the kind of tone u r using with ur fellow applicants.

Again, Australia is a sovereign country, and whether you like it or not, it can implement its immigration policies the way it wants!

Re: INDIAN APPLICANTS
An average salary of an IT pro in Australia is only (100K+Super) - a contractor can charge $100/hr and earn twice as much - most specialists in Australia keep on contracting rather than settle into a permanent role.
The best of India always migrates to USA - with the dot com bust and reduction in H1 visa caps, they have recently turned their attention to Australia. But, then, America is land of "equal opportunity" - no HR or LR applicants there. Australia, far from being a superpower, - more a retirement base for sun straved Brits. No comparison between America and Australia !!!
Why the Americans look at India so differently and have the confidence to offshore almost everything - high tech or low tech
There are 3.22 million Indians in the US.
Indians are the richest immigrant class in the US, with nearly 200,000 millionaires.
38% of doctors in USA are Indians.
12% scientists in USA are Indians.
36% of NASA scientists are Indians.
34% of Microsoft employees are Indians.
28% of IBM employees are Indians.
17% of INTEL scientists are Indians.
13% of XEROX employees are Indians.

Re: INDIAN APPLICANTS
All IT jobs in India are Permanent Full Time roles - no concept of contracting - hence the attrition rate is almost 100%.

Re: INDIAN APPLICANTS
I can understand your frustration at having your application delayed because you are from a High Risk country, why didnt you apply for a 457 and try the place out before you start bagging the Government policy.
My company recruited me on a 457 so that I could determine if Australia is the place for me, I'm sure these companies who offered you all these wonderful jobs would be delighted to pay the $500 and you get 4 years to apply for PR.

Every applicant from a HR country is most likely a terrorist
Every applicant from a LR country is most likely an Angel.
Is is not possible that - the very opposite can be true in many cases.
A person from a LR country can do nothing wrong.
Carry the same security checks, background checks, medical checks , education/experience checks for all applicants - LR or HR - visa processing times will always vary depending upon the case complexity even for applicants with the same nationality - SIMILAR TO OTHER FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES - why is Australia acting so different ???
All service standards set by DIAC are classified LR/HR? - how many other first world countries do that???
An American recruting for a Aussie company was surprised to discover such a thing happening even in the 21st century.
Dividing the whole world into HR/LR by DIAC also results in employers dividing all job applicants into HR/LR - obviously many employers lose out on very good applicants because of such policies.
A very big criteria in selection process - possible date of joining - considering the service standards set by DIAC for HR countries - few employers want to even consider HR applicants.
