the problem is, they can't still determine the subclass they are supposed to apply for. seems hard to understand the intricacies of the immigration law especially the state sponsored. too many to understand.
incidentally, why are you asking? are you in OZ now or still in the process?
... is on dependent visa. main applicant code 261313; 175 e-lodged june 6, 2011; visa grant mar 13, 2012; NSW-based.

Under the priority processing arrangements for GSM, the highest priority is given to Priority Group 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.
For further information regarding State Migration Plans please visit the department’s website at:
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/whats-new.htm
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/pdf/statmig-fs.pdf

Processing of Priority Group 3 applications will commence once all applications from priority group 2 have been allocated to a case officer for assessment. Similarly, processing of Priority Group 4 applications will commence once all applications from priority group 3 have been allocated to case officers for assessment
To determine which priority group your application falls into please read the information on the department’s website at:

i'm glad i discovered this site, such a blessing! i am currently in the UK and with the riots happening all over the country nagdecide kami ng husband ko to go 'down under'...i have lot of questions pero di ko na lang itatanong lahat,hehe...i hope someone could help...
1. can i apply for independent skilled migrant visa while i'm still on sponsored working visa (mas mabilis daw kasi ang sponsored visa so i'm thinking we'll go there on that visa then apply for independent skilled visa once we're there)
2. ano ang ibig sabihin ng 1st at 2nd installments?
3. do i still need a skills assesement kahit na ang occupation ko ay nasa SOL at sponsored ako ng employer or does it only apply if i'm going for an independent skilled migrant visa?
maraming salamat po at mabuhay tayong lahat!
