Does anybody know what happens if a visa app. is made using a job from the MODL and then that job is later removed from the MODL when it is reviewed ?

Is it still fast-tracked as happens with MODL applicants ?

Cheers

Got this from the DIMA website, so it should be pretty reliable :

blah blah blah.....

clarify that for the purpose of allocating Migration Occupation in Demand List (MODL) points, the relevant MODL is the list in force at the time of application or the time of assessment, whichever is more favorable to the applicant;

http://www.immi.gov.au/legislation/a...1062006_10.htm part of new changes in legislation on the 1st July 2006. I think it's the most up to date clause there is to it.

Hope that helps.

...Thanks starxpress, that seems pretty definite

How are occupation points awarded on the points test?
If your nominated occupation is on MODL either at the time your application is lodged or assessed, you will be eligible for 'occupation in demand/job offer' points on the General Skilled Migration points test. You will receive extra points if you have a job offer from a suitable Australian employer

Although the above passage it mentions points it distinctly does not mention whether the application remains fast tracked. With DIMA its usually the detail that counts..
