Hey Guys I got my acknowledgement on 24 th of July , 2006 . At the time of application my occupation was not on the MODL . But yet my points were 120 . But in the month of September , DIMIA introduced my occupation "Electrical Engineer" on MODl . Now I want to confirm whether i need to ask them to put my application on priority basis or they will do it accordingly . I have not heard any thing from their side till today the 25th of january . Skilled Independent 136 visa .

My application was acknowledged on the 13th July and I am in the same position as you. My occupation also 'Electrical Engineer'. I sent DIMIA an email asking for my application to be put on to the MODL list and provided some supporting documentations. I got a reply saying the information provided will be handed to my CO and never heard a thing from then onwards.

I don't think it makes any difference at all ! Am still waiting for my CO. I guess because we applied as non-MODL therefore our application will be treated as non-MODL hence no priority given

thx lumipad for ur reply . Then we must have to wait for the CO . NO alternate i think . do tell me after getting CO .

It is quite possible that your application is not the only one ASPC are processing.

I dont understand what u said Mr Westly

Because you have asked and been answered. "I don't think it makes any difference at all ! Am still waiting for my CO. I guess because we applied as non-MODL therefore our application will be treated as non-MODL hence no priority given " When you are allocated a case officer, they will let you know whether or not your file has been updated to include points for your skill being on the MODL.

As an Electrical Engineer what type of electrical work do you do ?

sandhu1857

I am Maintenance Engineer ( Electrical ) . I am responsible for all electrical related faults in my company premises .

After the allocation of CO , there is no need of priority because whether ur points are 120 or 135 , that does not make any difference . My only concern is the one month gap between the allocation of CO for MODL and Non MODL applicants .

Hi, My skills are simular electrical design, PLC programming etc, I also applied in July but as a General Electrician which is MODL.
I know that info is no help to you now but good luck hope you get your CO soon.

sandhu1857

well thx for ur nice advice but since I am Electrical Engineer . So it is not possible for me to apply under Electrician .
