I think thats a different applicant who lodged in march2019.

March 2019 is a different application. His case is available on the tracker.

Are you onshore?

True.

It’s important to note that both are the same occupation, listed as priority, software engineering.

Vowww that’s great news for us. Many congratulations. Coming to the CO contact, did you email the CO after fulfilling the asked requirement(s), or you just clicked the button available in the documents section? I am asking this because recently I had a CO for my new baby medicals and I did click on the button available after completion. It’s been 3 weeks now, so just wondering an email could lead us to be noticed. Might be I am wrong. Kindly advise. btw, I am offshore from India, 261313 190 visa, applied on dec1st 2019

I should have done it but I did not track my case in immitracker. (Sorry I am a bit privacy conservative).

you just clicked the button available in the documents section?

There was no CO email to reply or ask further questions. I clicked the button and monitored the status until it became “Further assessment”.

Keep your spirit up. Wish you all receive your grants soon.

congratulations and thanks for sharing…to all other guys waiting, his occupation is in priority list but he is offshore (which is not considered priority)…so I think there is slight hope for offshore and non-priority occupations also

Thanks for your reply. I see you are from Offshore, so which country you are from mate?

Does anyone know, which occupations are in the priority list? Can someone share that list, if there is any?

Ah I see. thanks.

Hi, I did the employment verification back in late 2018, it was very quick back then (i guess it took about a month or 20 days to get the employment verification).

Thanks,by employment verification I see you mean ACS or the accessing body

Home Affairs policy on migration program

In a recent meeting with the home Affairs department the following was advised

  • The skilled migration program will concentrate this program year on onshore applicants in PMSOL occupations

  • The PMSOL will be continually updated and the broader annual review of the skilled occupation lists will be delayed

  • Employer sponsored applicants on the PMSOL will be processed with priority, others may be delayed

  • Priority processing will be given to Partner applications in regional areas
