Hey Aruna,
After getting ur news I called my agent today. And he told me that yes DIAC have started processing UZ 496 applications. He said one of his client who has 7.0 IELTS score in UZ 496 got the visa approval. So it shows that Capping and Ceasing has been started...

Could you get us a copy of the email or its contents. If it has actually started there will be a flurry of such emails to other applicants over the next few days.

Regards
Rahul

Hi Rangalal Handagala

I agree with Rahul. I know that lots of sc 496 applicants have been asking Immigration litigation solicitors in Oz about whether the Minister is using S39 of the Migration Act 1958 (which is the cap & cease clause) in a manner which is lawful?

I understand that all the solicitors have said that they need to see the terms of the letter or e-mail from DIAC which says that the application has been capped and ceased. Presumably they intend to take the terms of the standard letter to pieces, to see whether they can find any flaws in it.

Is it possible to publish the e-mail that was sent to the auto-electrician, please?

Also, has the auto-electrician said whether or not he intends to fight the Minister about this use of S39?

Many thanks

Gill

One thing we got to be careful about is second hand news. I am not trying to cast doubts on Rangalal and his post but "this my friend got an email" and no other details, sounds a lot like someone reporting some rumor that they have heard.

Hey Rahul and Gill,
This is true that it has been a second hand news. But Rangalal Handagala is very sure about the timeline of that person. SO there is some kind of truth behind this Start of Capping and Ceasing.Well they are giving this perception that they are going to cease trade people with LOW IELTS. For that the must have categorized these application in to three part...
1. Applicants with High band score and who are in Managerial and professional in occupation on SOL.
2. Applicants with Average band score in IELTS and are associate professionals in occupation on SOL.
3.Applicants with Poor band score in IELTS and are into trades occupation in SOL....

To confirm this news I called my agent today and he told me that one of his client who has 7.0 band score in IELTS has got the visa last week. She has 496 visa. But I am not confirm that whether she is on CSL or MODL...

Hi Jaspreet

Here is a link to the post I made this morning, that quoted some of Mr Speldewinde's comments about the Minister not yet having set the cap, in the email he sent to Chris last Thursday.

http://community.embraceaustralia.com/forum/topics/responce-from-di...

From observing DIAC's past actions, it concerns me that although a letter from a very senior bureaucrat such as Mr S can be received on Thursday, DIAC could easily make an announcement a day later that makes a nonsense of it.

So while DIAC's official stance at this time is that ceasing has NOT started, it is possible that ranagalal's friend could be right; it could just be that DIAC hasn't yet made an official announcement about it.

I look forward to the day when DIAC speaks openly and transparently about its policy intentions and the decisions it intends to make that affect thousands of people, instead of shrouding its intentions in a totally unnecessary veil of secrecy.

Best regards
Susan

Dear madam

I will confirm tomorrow or day after tomorrow what happened on his application.(he told me he received email from his agent that his application was ceased.) and I will try to get email from DIAC. But I can confirm his application was ceased or rejected. if rejected it is a another fault of his application and diac started to process pre sep 2007 application. it is good news for all of us.

Thanks
