按照我个人的理解,在决定cap and cease时,已经达到甚至超过了cap的上限,否则没有必要做这个决定。在该说明文档中也已明确说明移民局的决定是给07年9月之前的申请做个了断,还没等到vo最终结果的,无论是已经补齐所有材料的,还是上诉后在等待最后裁决的,都将直接退款,所以已经没有必要给出cap的具体数字
All offshore General Skilled Migration applications lodged before 1 September 2007 will have their applications withdrawn. These are people who applied overseas under easier standards, including lower English language skills and a less rigorous work experience requirement. It is expected about 20 000 people fall into this category. The department will refund their visa application charge at an estimated cost of $14 million. Average applications cost between $1500 and $2000 and most contain more than one person.
