Ridiculous!
I am not speculating anything. Read it carefully what I said (see who need to needs to hangout in Barbie camp)

So far, so good...

They did that before the 1/7/07 changes and I think that they are still dealing with the huge increase in pre deadline aplications that generated [which was totally pointless as the changes were to go to computerised applications that were then processed quicker after the change], many of them incomplete due to no ILETS being included which were subsequently refused to a HUGE amount of whinging, finger pointing and accusation on this forum. The advice from many old time forum members was that the applications would be refused but many many applicants were not interested in listening to the advice because it conflicted with their WISH to gain access to Australia but when it all blew up it was of course somebody elses fault.

It has always been this way, I know many applicants and nearly all of them have had to modify their plans due to changes in the process or qualification criteria, the fact that you have just recognised this means that you are either new to the Australian immigration process, or have not been paying attention to the way it it has operated in the past and continues to operate.

I have no high horse. I simply get slightly irritated by a certain number of posters who seem to believe that they have a right to a visa and that the Australian Government are doing their utmost to make things difficult for them.

The Government look after those that are here and if they want to change the rules, regardless of how stressful and upsetting it is for would be migrants, they will. Moaning about it won't change anything and isn't healthy.

And as an aside, all Mods and the vast majority of people offering help and support on here HAVE been through the migration process and are more than aware of how stressful the process is. It's not something anyone forgets but if I can help others by trying to prevent that stress by pointing out that someone is making inaccurate statements I will and I don't intend stopping so get used to it.

After six years of reading, sometimes wildly, inaccurate statements that are given as facts and then seeing the fallout from people who were made to panic, I apologise if my manner of response is not to your liking but I object strongly to someone making a statement on the Immigration forum that has no basis in fact and sometimes posters don't understand the importance of NOT making such statements unless they are replied to in strong terms.

Hi



I have just read the suspension on the 176 Visa. I am very worried. I am hoping my occupation as 2222-13 - Sales Representative [Information and Communication Products) does not fall off the list.



I am waiting for a result from Vetassee.



Does anybody know if this might stay on the list?
