I am a newbie here and have been reading this forum for sometime. This is probably my fisrt or second post.
I need an advise and would be grateful if someone could help me.
I have lodged my Visa 176 Family sponsorship last 7 Mar 2012. Every now and then I am accessing this website from DIAC http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/estimated-allocation-times.htm and have noticed that Visa 176 Family Sponsorhip processing became stagnant these past couple of months while all Visa 176 State Sponsorship will all be processed before May 2012 ends. Also, Visa 175 kept on being updated and to date 18 Nov 2011 is being processed. I am not starting to think to change Visa application from 176 to 175 because the only difference with them now is the sponsorship.
However, if I am to analyse the data in the said website, there is a probability that Visa 176 Family Sponsored may be processed and will have a case officer this June 2012.
BTW here is my timeline:
16 Apr 2011 - IELTS (L=8.5, R=6.0, W=7.0, S-8.0) FAILED!!!
3 Aug 2011 - Lodged CDR
24 Sep 2011 - IELTS 2nd take (L=8.5, R=7.0, W=6.5, S=7.5) FAILED!!!

do you want to change your application from 176 to 175? if yes, my question will be, can you change if even after you have lodged it?
or you mean starting a new 175 application?
