标题: updated on 16 March 2012
Due to the strong demand for places in the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program the department is unable to immediately allocate all GSM applications to a case officer for consideration. When an application is allocated to a case officer depends on a number of factors, including the Priority Group of the application and the visa subclass applied for.

If your application has been allocated to a case officer you should have received communication from your case officer.

The tables below list lodgement dates of applications that have been allocated to case officers. These tables were last updated on 16 March 2012 and will be updated fortnightly.

Priority processing
Applicants who lodged a GSM application before the following dates have been contacted by a case officer.

Important note:

N/A denotes 'Not Applicable'. There are no GSM visa subclasses within these priority groups.

** Not currently allocating.

A high volume of Priority Group 4 applications were received in June 2011. Whilst cases continue to be allocated per week, the limited movement of allocation dates reflect the high volume of applications received during this period. The affected visa subclasses are:

Skilled – Independent (Migrant) subclass 175
Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) subclass 176
Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional) subclass 475
Allocation of Priority Group 5 applications lodged outside Australia is yet to commence.

Information is available about the processing of Priority Group 5 applications.
See: Processing of Priority Group 5 General Skilled Migration Applications

Priority exempt applications
Visa subclasses 485 and 476 are exempt from the current priority processing direction. Applications for these subclasses will be processed in the order in which they were received by the department.

Visa Subclass Lodgement Method Application Date
Skilled – Graduate subclass 485 online 5 April 2011
paper 19 March 2011
Skilled – Recognised Graduate subclass 476 online 3 January 2012
paper 3 January 2012

Subsequent entrant applications
All subsequent entrant applications that were lodged before 21 January 2012 have been contacted by a case officer.

Processing time service standards
Processing time service standards for different types of visa applications are linked to the Portfolio Budget Statements. Refer to the processing times for visas for migrating to Australia as a skilled person.
