The allocation of applications on the Critical Skills List has
commenced. Each application will be checked to identify if it meets the
priority processing criteria as announced by the Minister of Immigration
on the 17 December 2008. The process to identify applications that meet
the priority processing criteria is ongoing.
If your application is identified as meeting the priority processing
criteria, your application will be referred to the relevant processing
area for allocation to a case officer. Applications will be processed in
date of lodgement order. We aim to have all CSL applications allocated by
the end of May 2009.
