Re: July 2009 Visa Applicant
I am a June 09 applicant. What I understand is that all the cases applied before July1,2010 will be processed with old rules/policies.
I have a question and would appreciate if experts on here can answer ......
I lodged my online application in Jul'09 as 2231-79 (C++/C#/C*) specialist and belong to an HR country. All the documents have been met on my application except for me and my family's medicals and PCCs which the CO has not yet requested. The last update that i saw on my application was addition of my new born in July '10. Eversince then, there is a complete silence. I emailed the CO for a status check and got the following reply:
Greetings
I can confirm that this application is being processed as quickly as
possible whilst acknowledging the time taken in processing.
Routine departmental checking is in progress and once completed
notification will be provided.
I regret that I am unable to provide a time frame for this.
Regards
The question is ..... Will my application processing be delayed due to changes to the SOL in Jul '10?? I do fall into CAT 4 now but a CO was already assigned to my application before all these changes. Is anyone else on the same boat as me??

There is no such news (at least as per my knowledge) that the upcoming changes will affect the processing of the applications already in queue. But if there is any update or you've any authentic information in this regard then please share.

Re: July 2009 Visa Applicant
Hi Guys,
I am facing very hard time with my visa application (skill : ‘’.NET’ technologies Specialist’ (ASCO 2231-79)), i have applied for visa on 23 July 2009, got mail from case officer on 8 APr 2011:
"For you application to be assessed the skills assessment provided needs to
be for an occupation listed on the current Skilled Occupation Lists (SOL).
The occupation on the skills assessment you provided with your application
(NET’ technologies Specialist) is not on the current SOL."
If you use the same documents provided at the time the original skills
assessment was sought, the ACS will give you the opportunity to obtain
another skills assessment. If you wish to obtain a skills assessment for
the occupation nominated on your application or an occupation listed on the
current SOL you will need to contact the ACS.
To continue with the assessment of your application you need to provide a
written explanation as to the current skills assessment on file not being
for your nominated occupation and a skills assessment for an occupation
list on the SOL.
I have replied to this email and asked him is it ok to get the new skill assessment for "Developer Programmer (ANZSCO Code: 261312)". On this he replied that:
The occupation you are seeking a new skills assessment for(Developer
Programmer – ANZSCO Code: 261312) is on the current SOL and the assessment
can continue once that skills assessment is received (providng the new
assessment is based on the same evidence provided for the original skills
assessment).
However, please note that the occupation is not on the MODL (Occupation in
Demand) so MODL points cannot be claimed.
On your application you have claimed the 15 MODL points. As my prelimnary
assessment is that you will not reach the 120 points required, I would
suggest you seek sponsorship (state or family) to have the application
assessed as a VE 176 which requires 100 points.
Please forward the skills assessment to me when you receive it and if you
obtain sponsorship send me the details and I will advise you of the
requirements for the sponsorship you have obtained.
This is really insane,
after two years of waiting they are now saying that i am not eligible. They should process my application according to the old rules.
Please advice me what should i do, should i ask my case officer that why my application is not processed under old rules??

Re: July 2009 Visa Applicant
If you are e-applicant you can check status of your medicals as received referred or finalized.
if paper lodged applicant then always e-mail your CO to check status.
My question is what is the timeline after medicals is finalized? i know every case is different but will help me alot anyways.
Any response would be appreciated in this regard.
