THIS IS the new priority processing list....i am not too sure what will happen to my application applied on 8th of jan....no news....no nothing.

http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/gener...processing.pdf



Under the Ministerial Direction, the following processing priorities (with highest priority listed first) apply:
1. applications from people who are employer sponsored under the ENS and the RSMS
2. applications from people who are nominated by a State/Territory government and whose nominated occupation is listed on the Critical Skills List (CSL)
3. applications from people who are sponsored by family and whose nominated occupation is listed on the CSL
4. applications from people who are neither nominated nor sponsored but whose nominated occupation is listed on the CSL
5. applications from people who are nominated by a State/Territory government whose nominated occupation is not listed on the CSL
6. (i) applications from people whose occupations are listed on the Migration Occupations in Demand List (MODL) and
(ii) applications from people who are sponsored by family and whose nominated occupation is not listed on the CSL.
7. all other applications are to be processed in the order in which they are received

It is simple I think, if you are on CSL your application will be finished in 12 month time frame from lodgment date, if you are not on CSL you have to wait till 2012 or hope for some future changes in their priority policy

i ama family sponsored and not on csl...so i think family sponsored applications should be give a bit more priority ....if they are giving it to state sponsors the same afterall it is the same subclasss (886)

Thanks Scrudu - yep still waiting.
Life's still good in the UK though so it's not all bad
Everything happens for a reason and all that b0ll0cks...which means there is a Euro Millions ticket out there somewhere with my name on it!

cookiestar

Good luck to all those Jan applicants still waiting. Hold onto the thought that it'll be worth the wait in the end. We've been here nearly 4 months now, and feel absolutely at home. Australia is a fantastic country.

For an upto-date list of Jan 2009 see http://beupdate.co.uk/visa.php?month=Jan&year=09
The list posted above is not correct. e.g. I (SamW) got my PR in October.
