Frustrated

Zaman don't get frustrated, there are so many people like you who are effected by frequent changes.

I have been trying to lodge my application since long time but haven't succeed yet ; even my application hasn't been submitted due to frequent changes. In start of this year, I was planning to lodge application for Visa 175 but in Feb MR. MINISTER removed MODL, consequently decreasing my points to qualify for that visa. Then I thought of applying for Visa Subclass 176. I went to get state sponsorship and got sponsorship but after that DIAC suspended visa processing unexpectedly. When they lifted suspension then my ACS assessment expired. Now ACS says that I have to send a new application from scratch by spending 400$ again. Obviously after getting new ACS assessment I would have to re-apply for State Nomination. I can't understand what's happening.

Now, It seems me as if applying for AUS immigration is sheer wastage of time and money and AUSTRALIA DOESN'T NEED ME :(

SKN,

Yep....sounds like you've been riding the wave of change and still haven't reached the shore!

My only consolation, is that at least you haven't submitted under the 175! I have, and would have to re-apply for everything to move from the relegated Category 4, so not only would I have to pay the $400 ACS assessment, but also the $2550 or so for the application!

I struggle to see how the DIAC can realistically allow a majority pre-1st July Computing professionals not to be processed....it would mean a very large gap in the market for a few months, and as we IT techies know, a few months in IT without the skills is potentially massive loss of business and money to companies....including health systems and banking!

Still, wait in hope.....keep us posted on your intentions yeah?

Hi Zaman,

I feel the same way. I just read the changes today and got so frustrated and searched for an avenue to vent out and reach people who experienced the same thing. I lodged my application December 2008 and the last time I checked, it was going to be 3 years from date of lodgement before it will be finalised. I felt helpless when I read today that there wasn't any clear timeline, all it said (for category 4) was will start processing after categories 1-3 are finished. That's just a bit unfair though. I could be wrong, but how I understand it is that they will only start processing my application after the other categories are finished. Does it mean another 3 years for actual processing?

It's so frustrating and disappointing that it's bad enough to try to be patient for the initial 3 years, but more, it's so disheartening... I'm beginning to wonder if is this dream to start a new life would ever be possible.

Dear,
If you dont mind with me I want to tell something to you. dont keep any hopes about ur visa. finally they will cease your application and sometimes get refund.( my application also ceased (application date 23-08-2007) but I never get refund untill now. They hold my money for three years without any interest. actually this is a CRIME robbery with violence. They must shame about this. Dear administrator if Iam wrong please delete this. But australian govenment robbed my money.


Thanks

99% you are not going to get your australian visa if your application stands in the category 4

hi guys 

well i agree with all of you 

but to those who had been ceased ,you guys sill can fight for your rights ,even in the court ,never give up,

every new responsible wants to leave his fingers print ,dose not care about those people who are destroyed because of his decisions 

they do nt care for  example how the applicant might fight to get money and many other things like wasting people s ages .

anyway,

we who are in category 4 ,still have hope in Jesus ,but i ask everyone to sue and to do something to prevent these kind of things

(who applied should be treated accordng the rules at the time he applied ?)

crying at home and on forum has no effect ,get your right.

be blessed

hi jack ,it is sure there is no right for visa applicants in oz juridically system and you can evaluate this from past unlawful decisions messed by immi minister evan to all pre sept 2007 applicants.there's only in written to be treated by laws whenever u applied but in reality it seems a crucial joke .diac is a puppet of oz govt and could be changed there words easily for govt political motives any way

hello guljinder

sorry for late response

happy new year 

i dont know if i got you wrong , did u mean that Diac might change its decisions to a good ones?

well even if the Diac is puppet ,its ok but we are not 

so what do you think we should do ?,

let me tell you, i dont accept even thinking of being treated this way?

you  know if they put this long period to make us despaired,so they are wrong,and we will wait and get our visa by gods help.

i think everyone of us consider Australia as our mother country ,we r ready to work and to give this country our effort and to raise it as we all i think seeks for home embrace us?

we have great things we need to achieve but if we treated like this it kills many of these feelings,i ll never be able to explain.

be blessed 

jack

I still believe that if a person applies for a visa in the expectation that a decision will be made on it within a reasonable time, that decision should be made.  In my opinion, it is shameful to keep people waiting for  years, essentially forcing them to put their lives on hold, hoping every day that THIS will be the day they get an answer.

Petitions, pleas, letters, none of these things have the power to change the situation, nor does the fact that Australia's reputation as an immigration destination is becoming tarnished by the constant changes and the backlog that DIAC should have anticipated many years ago.

The only thing that will change the situation is a complete culture change within DIAC - a change that involves lobbying for the funding to address its responsibilities to provide an efficient immigration service and treat visa applicants with the respect inherenent in its slogan "People - our business".

 

Regards

Susan

hello everyone 

thanks for being support for eachother

hi Susan

well how we can draw the diac attention to respect us?how we can change the Diac culture?

im sure you saw many issues so you can understand maybe someone is putting his marriage on hold and 

many many other things (religious stuff and ...etc ) many others its a sham that they draw us to even start talking about  it.

please Susan guide us how to take a practical action,anyway ,i ll understand if you might cant say things on here ,but i only asking for your help i applicable
