                      ADELAIDE PROCESSING INFORMATION

skilled migration applications being processed by the Adelaide Skilled
Processing Centre (ASPC).  Please do not reply to this email address as

                             IMPORTANT NOTICE
         Recent Changes to Priority Processing - 23 September 2009

The Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Chris Evans, has set
new processing priorities for certain skilled migration visa applications.
The new direction will apply from 23 September 2009 and applies to new
applications, and those already lodged or in the final stages of
processing, and replaces the previous Priority Processing Direction (No.
40) which commenced on 1 January 2009.

The new direction gives priority to applicants who are sponsored by an
employer, have a nominated occupation which is in critical need and are
either sponsored by a state/territory government or by a family member.
Different priority processing arrangements for Skilled-Graduate (Subclass
485) visa applicants apply.

The Migration Act 1958 contains powers by which the Minister can consider
and finalise visa applications in an order of priority that the Minister
considers appropriate.  Departmental officers are required to follow this
Ministerial direction, which applies to every stage of visa processing.

All General Skilled Migration (GSM) visas are subject to the new
Ministerial direction, except for:
·     Skilled – Recognised Graduate (Subclass 476);
·     Skilled – Designated Area – Sponsored (Subclass 883);
·     Skilled – Regional (Subclass 887).

The direction gives the following processing priorities (with highest
priority listed first) to GSM applications:
1.    applications from persons who are employer sponsored under the
Employer Nominated Scheme and the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme;
2.    applications from persons who are nominated by a State/Territory
government and have nominated an occupation on the Critical Skills List
(CSL);
3.    applications from persons who are sponsored by family and who have
nominated an occupation on the CSL;
4.    applications from persons who are neither nominated nor sponsored but
who have nominated an occupation on the CSL;
5.    applications from persons who are nominated by a State/Territory
government and have not nominated an occupation on the CSL;
6.    (i) applications from persons who have nominated an occupation on the
Migration Occupation in Demand List (MODL); and
                (ii) applications from persons who are sponsored by family
and have not nominated an occupation on the CSL;
7.    all other applications are to be processed in the order in which they
are received.


The direction also gives the following processing priority to
Skilled-Graduate (Subclass 485) visa applicants (with highest priority
listed first):
1.    applications from persons who have completed an Australian Doctor of
Philosophy (PhD) at an Australian educational institution in Australia;
2.    applications from persons who have nominated an occupation on the
CSL;
3.    applications from persons who have completed an Australian  Bachelor
degree and Australian Masters degree at an Australian educational
                institution in Australia;
4.    applications from persons who have completed an Australian Bachelor
degree and Australian Honours degree (at least upper second class level)
                at an Australian educational institution in Australia;
5.    applications from persons who have completed either an Australian
Bachelor degree or an Australian Masters degree at an Australian
educational
                institution in Australia;
6.    all other valid applications are to be processed in the order in
which they are received.

The complete list of occupations on the CSL is available on the
department’s website:
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/pdf/critical-skills-list.pdf



Application Processing Times

If your nominated occupation is on the Critical Skills List (CSL) and you
have applied or will apply for an onshore or offshore GSM visa before the
end of 2009, it is estimated that your visa application will be finalised
within 12 months from your lodgement date.

If your nominated occupation is not on the Critical Skills List (CSL) and
you have applied for an offshore GSM visa or intend to apply for an
offshore GSM visa later in 2009, it is unlikely that your visa application
will be finalised before the end of 2012.

If your nominated occupation is not on the CSL and you applied for an
onshore GSM visa or intend to apply for an onshore GSM visa later in 2009,
it is unlikely that your visa application will be finalised before the end
of 2011.

Your ‘nominated occupation' is the occupation you nominated at the time you
lodged your application and cannot be changed.

These application processing times are indicative only and are based on the
current visa application rate, the Priority Processing Direction (in effect
from

23 September 2009), and the availability of places in the Migration
Program.

Please do not contact the Department to request your application be
exempted from the Minister’s Priority Processing Direction.  Departmental
officers must adhere to the Minister’s Direction and you will be contacted
by the Department when your application is allocated to a case officer.

Processing priorities are subject to change. Any changes to these
priorities or processing times will be updated on the Department’s website
at: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/whats-new.htm


Priority Processing Exemptions


Visa Subclasses 476 and 887 are exempt from the priority processing
changes.  Applications under these subclasses will continue to be processed
in the order in which they were received by the Department – the following
subclass by application lodgement date identifies cases currently being
considered:

Visa Subclass     Month/Year Lodgement
VF 476 (paper):   25 September 2008
VF 476 (e-lodged):      25 September 2008
