实在忍不住发了PLE,知道同学们也都收到的是9.30的消息,但是还是贴出来和大家分享吧:
Thank you for your enquiry. I note your concern that you have not yet been contacted by a case officer in regards to your General Skilled Migration (GSM) application.
I can confirm that applicants who were emailed in March 2011 are still expected to have their application considered shortly.
As explained in this email, priority processing arrangements are in place covering the order of assessment of GSM applications. These arrangements are set in a Direction issued by the Minister and must be followed.
From 1 July 2011, processing priorities (with highest priority listed first) are:
1. applications from people who are employer sponsored under the RSMS program or who have applied for a Skilled - Regional (subclass 887) visa
2. applications from people who are applying under the ENS program
3. applications from people:
* who are nominated by a state or territory government agency for an occupation specified on that agency's state migration plan
* who were nominated by a state or territory government agency prior to the implementation of state migration plans for an occupation not on their agency's baseline list of occupations (known as an 'off-list' nomination)
4. applications from people who have nominated an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) - Schedule 1 in effect from 1 July 2011
5. all other applications.
A higher than anticipated number of higher priority applications have been received in recent months, impacting the Department's ability to allocate cases within your priority group.
Despite this, GSM can confirm that the assessment of applications in your priority group continues each week in significant volumes, after the allocation of any outstanding higher priority applications.
It is now expected that you will be contacted by your case officer by 30 September 2011. We request that you allow this period of time for your application to be assessed before contacting the Department.
You may continue to undertake any of the requirements of the March 2011 email that are incomplete, referring to the guidance provided in that email.
Detailed information about allocation dates and processing for General Skilled Migration visas is available via a dedicated auto response email service. These time frames are updated fortnightly.
虽然论坛上没有人目前分到CO,但从回信上看175还在动,但其他的优先级高的申请人数更多,所以就慢下来了。然后用了很官方的文字expected to be contacted by your case officer by 30 September 2011. 不过我还是很喜欢这句话:I can confirm that applicants who were emailed in March 2011 are still expected to have their application considered shortly.真的希望很shortly呀
