One of my friend has applied in August 2007 ans still no answer.

I have a question.

This couple come on a student defacto visa and the girl was the main visa holder. In August 2007 they have applied for GSM PR onshore, but the guy is the main applicant as chef. He has been a chef before and even now he is a chef.

The girl just has finished her VET course. Does she need to enrol into a new course or she is eligable to stay on her husband's visa?

Hi khz2007

No responses as yet - maybe all Aug 2007 visa applications have been finalised? :)

On a more serious note however, according to DIAC all Permanent (both Onshore and Offshore visas) as well as all Provisional applications with priority processing have been finalised.

For non-prioritised applications the following timing applies:

Permanent Offshore applications:
- subclasses 134, 136, 137 and 138 - Unlikely to be finalised before the end of 2012

Permanent Onshore applications:
- subclasses 861,862,863, 880,881,882,883 - Unlikely to be finalised before the end of 2011

Provisional applications:
- subclasses 495 and 496 - Unlikely to be finalised before the end of 2012
.

Well I don't think there is a dearth of August applicants... I personally know at least 30 -40 applicants from other migration websites who are in a a limbo because of the changes the minister has done since last year. I applied in August 2007(BQ 138). The processing time at that moment was 12 months. Now its more than 26 months. I applied in good faith. Me and my family are genuine applicants and are education providers. The Australian govt. at that time needed us and suddenly we are not required. We have tried to get ENS but still nothing positive has turned up. I received an email from ASPC on 9th Feb.09 that said -- It is expected all eligible applications that were lodged before 1 September 2007 will be
allocated by 20 March 2009. Applications that were lodged after 1
September 2007 are not being allocated at present.

We are a family of four. My kids at the time of application were son -13 and daughter-7. What will happen to my son when they finally decide to give us the Visa in 2013 ? My son will be over 18. Will I have to file another application on his behalf ? I cannot leave my son behind. After more than 5(FIVE) years... This is ridiculous...

Is someone listening there...????

Quote from the Migration Regulations:

175.32 Criteria to be satisfied at time of decision
175.321
The applicant continues to be a member of the family unit of a person who, having satisfied the primary criteria, is the holder of a Subclass 175 visa.

Keep your son in school or let him to study full time in a tertiary institution, because then he still will be regarded as the member of the family unit and no separate application will be needed.

So, Hi everyone on this Forum,

I am back and with a BANG !!!!!!
We all prior 1st Sep. 2007 applicants have been thrown out of the Australian migration system. Applied: 27th August 2007 for a Skilled – Education Officer,Australian sponsored (Subclass 138).
The latest draconian legislative passed by the minister of Migration on 8th February 2010 has left us harassed and not worthy of a human beings...

They have ceased our application after almost three (3) years of waiting without any reason of capping. He is willing to refund our application charge(VAC) after keeping us in a limbo for three years. First he amended the law on 23rd September 2009 and now he has completely disqualified our application. In this process he has used our money "People his Business" for the benefit of the ministry he heads and made fun of our lives and the amount of time, money, energy and ambitions we had.
After many changes and assurances he gave through his ministries web site.

In the new legislation passed he says that no refunds will be there for the medicals, Assessment charge, English tests(IELTS) and other expenses like hiring a migration agent witch also costs a fortune.
What about the interests on all the amount of VAC he had with him for the last three years. He takes three years to tell us that we cannot continue with your application because you are not worthy of our system. He must be joking. IS he? Or is " People his Business" his motto.

My only other brother lives in Melbourne and has been doing well and contributing to the economy since the last 8 years.

We believe that the Minister should take responsibility and demonstrate that his moral position is consistent, that it extends to cover the thousands of customers affected by his combined lack of action in managing the inflow of applications once the problem was brought to his attention.
My family now suffers as a result of this lack of timely decision making. The late response and subsequent over-reaction to the rising inflow visas means we will now be ineligible to migrate. It is their job to help lift the unfair and discriminatory suspension of processing

I want compensation of the amount of mental harassment we have suffered because of this latest legislation.
Please, Migration Assistance Providers, also advise us how to proceed and if any way we can challenge this in the court of Law.

Best regards,
KHZ
