移民法s39的capping and ceasing需要相关移民条例的支持。这正是s39 与我们平常接触更多的s85和s91之间的重要区别之一。后两者是不需要相关条例prescribed的。但是楼主就此打住了，并没有明确列出相关的条例来。就本次受影响的申请人来看在条例中的相关prescribed应该是136.231, 137.230, 138.233 or 139.234。因为此帖基本上针对的是深水区读者，为了不给正在揪心的申请人们添乱，条例内容我就不贴出来了。
这种深藏不露的大规模杀伤性武器级别的“拒签”，移民局自然不会轻易使用。但是一旦用了似乎还真是必杀招。一方面，相关schedule 2条例中的叙述不能搞得太醒目，要不显山不露水，不引人注意。另一方面，s39条款中生怕相应条例的文字咬不细，被人钻了漏洞，所以还特意加上了“however the criterion is expressed”。
Cap的年不是2007年而是指2009-2010年。澳洲移民法里的各类Cap都是grant的cap没有申请的cap。其中的年都是指考虑grant的年，或是说time of decision的财政年度。
==================================================================================== 如果7.1以后175 176等类别再次成为了历史,那么楼上的说法是正确了.
但是话说回来好象等到了退申请不等于马上退款,退款还得继续等.不知道会不会出台个什么退款的优先级来,符合优先的先退,不优先的继续拖. 附传说中的法律依据
Section 39. Criterion limiting number of visas
39. (1) In spite of section 14 of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003, a prescribed criterion for visas of a class, other than protection visas, may be the criterion that the grant of the visa would not cause the number of visas of that class granted in a particular financial year to exceed whatever number is fixed by the Minister, by legislative instrument, as the maximum number of such visas that may be granted in that year (however the criterion is expressed).
(2) For the purposes of this Act, when a criterion allowed by subsection (1) prevents the grant in a financial year of any more visas of a particular class, any outstanding applications for the grant in that year of visas of that class are taken not to have been made.
Section 47. Consideration of valid visa application
47. (1)-
(2) The requirement to consider an application for a visa continues until:
(a) the application is withdrawn; or
(b) the Minister grants or refuses to grant the visa; or
(c) the further consideration is prevented by section 39 (limiting number of visas) or 84 (suspension of consideration).
Section 63. When decision about visa may be made
63. (1) Subject to sections 39 (criterion limiting number of visas), 57 (give applicant information), 84 (no further processing), 86 (effect of limit on visas) and 94 (put aside under points system) and subsections (2) and (3) of this section, the Minister may grant or refuse to grant a visa at any time after the application has been made.作者: kingburg 时间: 17-5-2010 19:41
顺道问个弱智问题：如果很早以前申请（早于2009）当时属于三无的职业在新的SOL列表中，会排到优先级吗？作者: ryan88 时间: 17-5-2010 20:23
有一点是肯定的，申请者已经变成热锅上的蚂蚁~~~作者: teaorcoffee 时间: 17-5-2010 20:41
