Message to SS applicants - new changes play in your hand.
Hi everyone,
There has been a lot grief on the phorum regarding the new changes from the 8th of Feb.
Let's try to look at it from the different perspective.
I applied for SS (NSW), non CSL, non MODL in May 2009, got a case officer within 20 days, submitted meds and police check and then suddenly my application was put on ice in September.
I have a PhD, 5 years of work experience in Oz (457 visa), NSW sponsorship, I've paid hundreds thousands in taxes and I had to give a way to all hairdressers and cooks who spent 6 months studying some course in OZ to receive the CSL priority and become taxi drivers. Not too bad....
I hope finally there will be some justice and I would like to thank Chris Evans for that. Finally OZ will be looking to accept those applicants who are really skilled. Actually, the justice has already happened to me, I got my 176 visa last week. I believe it could only happen cos now the case officers have some time to look at the 5th category - State Sponsored applicants and maybe even 6th category - MODL and family sponsored.
To cut long story short I got a message to all Cat 5 applicants - you are the clear winners from the new changes, it is not going to be three years for you to get a visa, it is coming. And it is coming soon......
Good luck to all of you!
Fingers crossed!

On the other hand I think a good chef or hairdresser will never have problem getting work.

I'd like to see Australia leading the world in science and technology, not the hair styles and pastry recepies...

Re: Message to SS applicants - new changes play in your hand.
So do you think that the IT or engineering or maths guys who have spent number of years studying hardcore subjects at Uni (quite of few of them got Masters and PhD degrees as well) with years of work experience should wait until hairdressers get processed first?

Where did I write I want to be superior?
They have been superior to me for a long time at least in the eyes of immigration. I am glad it is over and everyone is on the same page and some qualified people have chance to be processed and not wait in the queue for 3 years.
Go the 5th category.

Hairdressers are not CSL and would also have been in for a three year wait. Just like anybody else in an occupation DIAC feels is less critical at the moment. A country needs people with a variety of skills, not only scientists or whatever it is you think is more important.

Lets be frank .. Australia is never going to be the leaders when it comes to Science and Techology .... to be fair if I wanted to I could go get a PHD for free and pretend to be and expert at a occupation ... I bet loads of these people with a Phd are driving a Taxi or sweeping floors or working stacking shelfs .... Idiotic posts like these are one of the reasons this site is going down hill and going down fast.

I think it is not what we have studied but what we do and how we take ourselves higher professionally counts.
