> @Ozdrims said: > Cap and Cease Order a Disaster for Visa Applicants > Outrage has erupted at the recent decision to implement a Cap and Cease order by the Australian government. This means that certain applicants who have been patiently waiting in a queue for their visa – some for up to 7 years – have suddenly had their Australian visa hopes pulled from under them. > > This ‘Cap and Cease’ order came into effect on the 22nd of September 2015 and affects those who have applied for a Subclasses 175, 176, or 475 Visa which has not yet been approved. > > A ‘cap’ on visa applications occurs when the Department has set how many visa applications of a certain subclass may be granted in a financial year. A ‘Cap and Cease’ means that the Department will cease processing applications for that visa once the cap is reached. > > The cap set by the Australian government for the current financial year has already been reached, meaning that no further visa applications will be processed under these subclasses. It also means that those visa applications that were not processed prior to the Cap and Cease are now treated as never having been made. As a result, the Department has announced that they will be refunding application fees, the processing time for refunds being approximately 15 weeks. > > While not being granted a visa is disappointing, for many, their primary concern is the passing of time. While they waited for their visas, applicants aged, meaning their eligibility for some other visas may now have passed. Being older also means you will achieve less points on the points test for skilled visa, making it more difficult for some to apply for new different visa. Around 30,000 applicants have been affected by the policy, with many now considering their next move. > > If you have been affected by the Cap and Cease policy, contact one of our migration agents urgently to commence assessment for an alternative options on (07) 3229 4025 – our experienced lawyers are well-versed in novel visa solutions and you may not have time to waste! new fear unlocked 😢

> @lmyantonio said: > Good day po! Ask ko lang po if you can submit an EOI for 491 visa (state-sponsored) for each state? Or may selected states lang po na pwede? I apologize po sa noob question. Medyo naguguluhan lang po. Thank you! > It depends on your nominated occupation. Each State has their own list, eligibility rules, and requirements. Best to check their respective websites to have the most updated details.

> @arki_jigz06 said: > @hikari Hi, question lang, if ever on going process ba ang application like for GSM, ang de facto ba pwede magpakasal during the processing period ng application? thanks Hello, same question po. Do you have the answer na po to this question? Huhu thank you

> @Ozdrims said: > Ok lang yan ,no grounds to offload , may visa pa kayo. May OEC din kayo pag mag eexit ng Pinas ,red flag sila pag inoffload ka pa nila as you have a valid visa. > If may 186 nomination approval na kayo at malodged within your visa 482 validity , magkakaroon pa din naman kayo nang bridging visa di po ba or separate nyo ito iaapply? I should have read this earlier. Pero to be safe we decided na dito na lang kami. AFAIK yung bridging visa would activate after the work visa expires. Provided na naka lodge kami ng visa before the expiry of the current work visa.

Hi, I am studying master's of analytics (cricos registered for 104 weeks) and granted RPL of 3 courses by my university. I was supposed to study 16 courses during 4 semesters (2 years) but now I may study 4 courses in 1st semester and 3 courses in the last 3 semesters each, studying a total of 13 courses and using 3 credits. My duration will be the same as it was supposed to be except that i am studying 3 lesser courses (utilising exemption of 1 course each in last 3 semesters). Do i meet aus study requirement and eligible for TR (subclass 485)?

Thanks for sharing these IELTS review materials! It's like a game of strategy, just like how [FIFA Mobile download](https://thefifamobileplay.com/download-fifa-mobile-on-pc/ "FIFA Mobile download") requires the right steps to get started. Both take patience and the right resources to succeed!

For people who are based in SG and are having problems s evidence of payment for ACS, I highly recommend Austral. They are based in SG and they are an expert based on our experience. Too bad I actually signed with an agency in Australia but they didn’t manage to help us on our documents - waisted 3500 aud on them and time.
