Australia's Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Chris Evans, has released today new priority processing arrangements for skilled migration visa applications.
These arrangements take account of the changes to the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) that came into effect on the 1st of July, 2010, as well as the revocation of the Migration Occupation in Demand List (the MODL) and the Critical Skills List (the CSL).
From the 14th of July, 2010 the Department of Immigration is required to process skilled visa applications in the following order (the highest priority is listed first):
1. Applications from individuals who are employer sponsored under the Employer Nomination Scheme and the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme.
2. Applications from people who are nominated by a state or territory government agency with a nominated occupation that is specified on that state or territory’s State Migration Plan.
3. Applications from people who have nominated an occupation on the new Skilled Occupation List (SOL) – Schedule 3 in effect from 1st of July, 2010. This list is available here.
4. All other applications are to be processed in the order in which they are received.
