		<description>Hi,


I have lodged an application for GSM Visa SubClass 176 and received a reply from my case officer.  I have submitted all the final documentation as per request.  However, after submitting the final requested document, I have not heard any response my my case officer on the status of my application.  What does this mean? What shall I do? Should I send an email to my case officer to check on my status or should I just wait? How will I know if my visa has been approved and I can now proceed with medical and police clearance?

Please help.  Thanks.</description>

		<description>Hi,
 
I am a member of ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountant-UK) and I want to apply as external auditor under subclass 176. I worked in KPMG, Certified Public Accountant as External auditor for 3.5 yrs and left KPMG in July 2010. My query is that whether i am still eligible to apply as external auditor or should i choose another category (currently working as an internal auditor). Secondly if i applied as an internal auditor how much IELTS score is required for this category. Kindly advise which category best suited my case.

		<description>Dear Mege  

My spouse and I intend to apply under the Skilled-Independent (subclass 175) but lately I found out that Skilled-State Sponsored (subclass 176) is to be given priority during the application process. It is understood that under the Skilled-State Sponsor, I have to commit to living in Victoria for the first two years of residence in Australia. Would I have the flexibility and freedom to venture into other jobs or set up my own business in Victoria? Will my granted Victoria State Sponsored Visa get suspended half way if I decided to do something else other than my nominated occupation?

My self-assessment score at least 130 points. My job and experience is on the CSL. My IELTS score average 7 with at least band 6 from each component.  Should I apply under Subclass-175 or Subclass-176?

Thank you and regards.

		<description>You should not panic, skilled visa applications are taking time to process and there are a lot of applications in the system.  If you want a better understanding of what the Department of Immigration is priority processing, send a blank email to aspc.processing@immi.gov.au 

Kind regards,
