Immigration Forum / Australia and NZ / August 2006MODL Changes
Hi, I will be applying for my visa in a couple of weeks when I get my new passport back. I am applying under skilled independent subclass 136. I have been assessed by the Australian Computer Society and have extra points for being on MODL list. I understand that the MODL list will be checked and updated in October and I am worried that my nomniated occupation 2231-79 (Network Security) will be removed because contacts I have in Aus say that IT jobs are drying up a bit now. What I want to know is at what stage will my application be valid if my occupation did get removed from the MODL. If I apply and I get a receipt of application is that good enough or does it need to go futher or even complete? After all the work I have put in to this I would be gutted if I din't make it. Thanks in advance, Rick. > Hi, > I will be applying for my visa in a couple of weeks when I get my new [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Rick. Hi Rick, As I understand it, if there are MODL points to your benefit either at the time of application or at the time of processing (i.e. when a CO starts looking at you application) then you get the MODL points. So say when your application is received by DIMA you occupation is on the MODL then you get the extra points regardless of whether it then stays on the list until you application is processed. I hope this makes sense and also helps? Cheers, Steve. Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply, that's good news. Do you know roughly how long it takes for a CO to be assigned to the application once it has arrived at their offices?

Hi Steve, Quite correct, that was the position established by the Federal Court case Aomatsu last year and in fact from 1 July this year it's in the regulations. But generally anyone with a skills assessment is able to lodge an offshore General Skilled Migration visa application provided they've also got the forms and the fee - no need to wait for a new passport or any other document, that can all be put in later. So frankly I don't know what Rick's waiting for. Cheers, George Lombard www.austimmigration.com.au  Signaturewww.austimmigration.com.au Hi George, Thanks for the post. My wife and I have until May '08 on our passports and our children until July '07. On the forms it says that you must have two years left on your passport before applying. I haven't actually sent them off yet for renewal, do you think it is best to get the visa in progress and then renew our passports later? Thanks, Rick. > > Hi Rick, > > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > www.austimmigration.com.au |
