Re: March 2009 and still waiting, anyone else?
yes, we're there as well. but you've had more info than us. We had to contact them as we hadn't heard anything at all. Our 175 went in March 2009, medicals were finalised June 2009....then nothing we contacted after 1 year 3 mths to ask what was happening. we received a standard reply. i am applying under hairdressing which is no longer on the CSL...so what does that mean?? does this affect our application even though when we applied it was on the list?

applied for 175 March 2009 how do changes affect us?
Anyone out there that can help. our 175 visa was submitted March 2009, medicals were finalised June 2009....then nothing. We left it about 1yr 3mths as we figured it was just going through the process, but then having still not heard anything we emailed ASPC. We received a standard reply detailing the new changes but this left us no clearer as to where our visa stood. i am applying under hairdressing which is no longer on the CSL...so what does that mean?? does this affect our application even though when we applied it was on the list? does this now put us into Cat 4, regardless of the list when we applied? we are thinking of contacting Australia House, London, but will they be able to tell us anything more? has anyone else been at this point and found an answer?
This is very frustrating!! We really want to know as i hit 45 soon, so would need to apply under a different visa. i am also a teacher so this would be possible. |

If you still want to get to Oz might be best to look into a new application. Just my opinion though :) Might be worth a professional consult too :fingerscrossed: |

We won't really know until the election is finalised. I doubt though that many hairdressers will be granted further entry. Consult an agent and see Australia house for sure so that if you have to change you can come in on your teaching profession ASAP.

Re: applied for 175 March 2009 how do changes affect us?
thanks for all the replies. yes going to contact dept as need confirmation. By CO do you mean someone that deals with our visa direct, as we have never been allocated anyone. really not happy....I even had a job offer as part of the application, but because its taken so long thats now probably gone. what exactly did we pay £1000 for? They haven't done much over the last 17mths!

Re: March 2009 Applicants
some good news finally - email below received from agent today____
The frustration is still ongoing I'm sorry to say. The situation is further complicated by the prime mister stepping down and the deputy pm calling an election this month so some delay in decisions around immigration. On a very positive note your occupation is on the federal list and the fact you have state sponsorship should put your application in the 2nd priority list. The first prioity list is for employer sponsored applications that in most cases are corporate employers. The states were to publish their new occupation lists in August but this has been put back to Septemeber after the elections. We don't anticipate this will affect you. With regard to timescales I have to say neither I or my colleagues in the industry have had any clear indication on processing times. Ocassionally DIAC will provide guideline times but best is when we see applications being processed and we work out timescales from that. At he moment it seems no processing is taking place until the new government is in power |
