Re: Non prioritised applications won't be looked at at least next 12 months???
Hi,
I applied for 175 non-MODL/CSL online in April 2008.
When I called DIAC in April 2009, they told me that I have to wait until next financial year(July 2009). Then I called them again the other day and was told that non-pripritised applications won't be looked at at least next 12 months.
So bacially non-prioritised applications will be on hold until economy picks up or something? They could say that we would have to wait another 12 months again when next financial year starts, I guess.
What a nightmare!
Is anyone here in the same situation????

Order of CO Allocation?
Hi all,
Is anyone clearer on how CO's are allocated? I thought that cases would be allocated in the order that they were received, but this doesn't seem to be the case?
We applied in Aug 08 - CSL, LR - yet still no sign of a case officer. Is there a chance they prioritize based on occupation?? Or start on HR because they take longer?
I just don't get how 175 applicants that applied in Jan 09 already have their visas - great for them
, but frustrating if like us you're ready to catch the next flight, have been waiting a year, and there's not even a flicker of hope on the horizon! 
Thanks in advance

I got my IELTS result yesterday but we have decided we are not bothered about speeding it up for personal reasons so I might not send my PLE just yet.

Re: Order of CO Allocation?
I saw from another of your posts that you are an accountant that had not done the IELTS (like me in fact). So really you have only been on the CSL since you did it in May. Did you send a PLE to notify them of the IELTS result? I hope it will not be too much longer for you.

Yes my OH did the IELTS test in May, and both our agent and the DIAC have advised that we would still be processed as an August CSL applicant because we were still on CSL back then. They assured us that we wouldnt have "lost our place" and be processed as a May applicant. Seems to me that that could be the case though, as nothing else makes sense!?
Yip we put in a ple about 2 weeks ago and they requested we get a CO allocated...
Congrats on getting your IELTS result - lucky you not being in a rush, as that surely eases the pressure! Good luck!

Re: Migration Agents and PLE's
Hi Folks,
Just curious with this question on mine.
I do not know if the migration agents ( MARA registered proper ones with experience and long sucessful clientile ) have some reluctancy from their side to lodge PLE's ? I have an agent and whenever I ask him to lodge a PLE he is a bit reluctant and ask to wait for some time. The reasons why I am asking to lodge a PLE are very genuine, per the inputs I have gained after reading article on the web, per the advise of other registered Agents, per the advise of senior experienced members in this forum. I know that raising PLE for trivial things which would get resolved as time passed is not the right way, but genuine matter it is better to have a PLE raised rather than sit idle.
Does raising PLE's diminishes the credibility of the agents ?
Also if one has an agent can then one raise a PLE directly or it has to be always through your agent any communication like PLE or emails/calls to DIAC ?
Also I have seen and heard from friends that many of the agents are so sweet to enroll you but after that kind of lacking the spirit. So many people do not pay the fees upfront but pay in parts based on various stages.
I mean no offense to any registered agents in this forum just posting this out of my curiosity to gather some views.
Thanks

your experience with your agent is soo similar to mine. i am a paper based 475 subclass relative sponsored nov 08 non csl and non modl applicant. sometime back i lodged the PLE with my mail ID asking "when will a CO be allocated for my case?". i got a reply telling me that i am not authorised to receive this reply. someone on this forum told me that i can give my agent's mail ID in the mail ID column of the PLE and ask my agent to forward DIAC's reply back to me. so i called my agent and told him about the PLE. my agent asked me to forward the PLE link(i was surprised with this response. he acted as if he didnt know how to lodge a PLE!!). i forwarded the link. i have called him 4-5 times after that and he says that he will ask his PA to reply to my mail, but till now he hasnt replied. my agent is trustworthy. he has sent nearly 150 of my friends or friend's friends to aus. so this attitude with regards to the lodgement of PLE is baffling. what can be the exact reason for this??

You'd be more likely to get an answer to the old "how long is a ptece of string" question! With people asking unanswerable questions like that its no wonder the system struggles to cope an replies are slow.
