Business Visas Australia

dear mam,
child care co-ordinator job is not in the critical skill list?

Correct, the occupation of Child care coordinators is not on the CSL.

I have applied my Visa for PR in July-2008, My trade is fitter, how many days more may it take to get PR. and how is sitution now in australia? how or were i can get information about this present global crisis?

Hello Mohammed,

Thank you for your post. Did you apply for a sponsored visa? It is not clear how long processing times are taking at the moment. For some recently lodged applicants of sponsored visa categories the wait is very short with visa approvals coming through in a matter of a few months. For most others however it is quite a long wait. The Australian economy is in decline however the the recession in Australia will be less severe than in many other countries (according to senior economists). The unemployment rate is about 5.4% which is less than what was predicted showing that employers are still hiring.

I would recommend you read some Australian newspapers to gain a better understanding of what is happening over there. Most major papers are now online and very easily accessible.

Hi Mege!
I applied for relative sponsored visa sub class 886 on 1st week of february with occupation accounting. Even after lodging application i re-sat for IELTS again and again and finally got 7.0 or over in each band in first week of june. I have already informed DIAC about it and attached it as well. So do you reckon my application will be prioritized even if it is sub class 886. Or does the application need to be subclass 885 to be on critical skill list.

Thanks
Jitendra

Hi Jitendra,

The skilled occupation of Accountant is on the current Critical skills list. Generally sponsored visas are being priority processed. If you lodged your application in February 2009, have you been asked for meds and pccs yet?

Well done for persevering with the IETLS test!

Kind regards,

Hi Mega.
Thanks for your reply. I frontloaded both my medical and police clearance at the time of lodgin. Haven’t heard anything from the department so far.

So you reckon i will be prirority processed because of being in critical skills list even on subclass 886 visa.

Thanks
Jitendra

Hello Mege,

I was a student of child care studies but had to change my course due to recent migration policy.
Now I am doing fast track MPA with 16 units also I have & in IELTS only thing that worries me is how long this CSL will last without change.

AS I will be finishing by end of 2010,hopefully no new changes will affect me.

I have applied for relative sponsored visa and skill is on CSL. Have Also applied for state sponsorship for WA. Application for visa submitted electronically 29/06/09, state sponsorship requested a month later. If I get state sponsorship do I hold on to it as long as my skill is on CSL or do I submit it. Also do I wait until requested before submitting medicals and police checks. How long for visa if you are on CSL

Hi There,

If i have applied for a 175 visa CSL, can i apply for state sponsorship as well. I have submitted my file on 22 june but nothing has changed and i have not been assigned a case officer or requested medicals. I really want to buy a house but its proving difficult as we are on partners 457. Someone has suggested we apply for state sponsorship as these are taking no more than 3 months and allow our CSL visa continue being processed. Are we able to do that and if so what is the process?

Thank you so much

I applied for subclass 175 visa and my occupation is on CSL list. The lodgement date is Dec 2008 and case officer was allotted in march. Till now I haven’t received my visa advice……..watz goin wrong…???
