Q 7 I am currently undertaking study in a MODL
occupation. Can I claim MODL points when I lodge my
GSM application?
No. The MODL was revoked on 8 February 2010. This
means that if you lodge your application after this date
you will not be able to claim MODL points. MODL points
can be claimed by people, who at 8 February 2010 are:
• holders of a subclass 485 visa granted before
8 February 2010
• applicants for a subclass 485 visa lodged before
8 February 2010, or
• applicants for a GSM visa lodged before 8 February
2010.
These applicants must lodge their GSM application by
31 December 2012.
最后的• applicants for a GSM visa lodged before 8 February
2010.
These applicants must lodge their GSM application by
31 December 2012.
既然2/8之前提交的application才有效,那么为何又有These applicants must lodge their GSM application by
31 December 2012.
Recent MODL Changes
From 8 February 2010 all MODL occupations are removed from the MODL. Therefore, all applicants who lodge an application on or after this date will not be eligible for the award of MODL points unless the applicant:
•holds a subclass 485 (Skilled-Graduate) visa or has applied for a subclass 485 (Skilled Graduate) visa and is yet to apply for a permanent or provisional General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa
or
•on 8 February 2010 had a pending application for a GSM visa.
Note: Applicants must lodge their GSM applications by 31 December 2012.
