When looking at the following priority prossessing list, who exactly would come under N0.2? Where do you find out which state/territory is nominated by a migration plan agreed by the minister??

The minister has set new priority processing
arrangements which apply to the following visas from
8 February 2010:
• Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS)
• Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS)
• General Skilled Migration (GSM) visas listed in
question three.
Under the ministerial direction, the following processing
priorities (with highest priority listed first) apply:
1. Applications from people who are employer
sponsored under the ENS and the RSMS.
2. Applications from people who are nominated by
a state/territory government agency under a state
migration plan agreed to by the minister.
3. Applications from people who are nominated by
a state/territory government agency and whose
nominated occupation is on the Critical Skills List
(CSL).
4. Applications from people who are neither nominated
nor sponsored in priority groups 1, 2 or 3, but whose
nominated occupation is listed on the CSL.
5. Applications from people who are nominated by a
state/territory government agency whose nominated
occupation is not listed on the CSL.
6. (i) Applications from people whose occupations are
listed on the Migration Occupations in Demand List
(MODL).
(ii) Aplications from people who are sponsored by
family and whose nominated occupation is not listed
on the CSL.
7. All other applications are to be processed in the order
in which they are received.


I feel as though the answer must be obvious. Forgive me if I'm being a thicket.

Anyone??

Hi Crispy

The States are still working on their State Migration Plans, so there aren't any yet.

Which means that processing priority 2 doesn't exist.

DIAC is so good at making things more complicated than they need to be!

Thanks for that Susan, I feel much better now. I think for the moment I can safetly plonk myself in group 5. I was just having a little sneaky hope that we might slot into group 2.
