我又忍不住写去移民局complain了
Dear Ms XX,
Thank you for your enquiry of 9 November 2009 to the Global Feedback Unitregarding the Minister’s Direction on priority processing.
As you are aware, new priority processing arrangements were introduced forcertain skilled migration visas on 23 September 2009. These arrangements are designed to better address the needs of industry by targeting skills incritical need across a number of sectors and are one of the measures used to ensure that the skilled migration program is responsive to the current economic climate and the needs of the Australian economy. The priority processing Direction applies to applications in the pipeline that have not been finalised and also to applications lodged with the Department ofI mmigration and Citizenship on or after 23 September 2009.
The Australian Government appreciates that migration is a major life decision and can be emotionally and financially stressful for applicants.New migrants make a substantial human and financial contribution to Australian society and the Government is aware that the priority processing Direction impacts on many applicants who will now have to wait longer for their visas to be processed. However, the Government must also take intoaccount the effect of the difficult labour market conditions which migrants, Australian permanent residents and citizens currently face. The priority processing Direction has been designed to ensure that the economy gets the skills it needs now, rather than those of visa applicants who applied first.
While I appreciate and empathise with your situation, the new Ministerial Direction on priority processing applies to all GSM applications including those in the final stages of processing. Case officers must adhere to this Direction.
The processing priority arrangements change the order in which applications are processed and the length of time until a decision is reached on those applications which do not meet the new priorities. However, these priority processing arrangements have not changed the requirements that must be metin order to be granted a visa.
As the economic situation changes, the Government will review its measuresto ensure that the objectives of the skilled migration program areachieved. Further information on the recent changes is available on theDepartment’s website at: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/g ... ion/whats-new.htmAs processing priorities are subject to change, we recommend that you checkthis website regularly for updates.
