ozpete Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Has any other 489 FS visa applicants received a mail from CO saying that there are limited number of places and put the application on hold? If yes, please share your experiences as I would like to know what this mail means? Does this affect only 489 FS or both, SS as well? As per the latest report there are still lots of places for 489 and for my occupation. So why this message? http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/index/reports/report-2013-11-4/ CO Mail: “The visa you have applied for is part of the Regional Skilled category. The Migration Program planning level for this category has limited number of places left for the 2013-14 program year. This means processing times may be longer and that once the remaining places are used, the Department cannot grant further visas in this category this program year unless more visa places become available. I cannot advise you whether more visa places will become available in this visa category as planning levels are determined by the Australian Government.” Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verystormy Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 It might be worth running past an agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelchic Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Don't they have a ceiling on all occupations or something. And when an occupation reaches that ceiling then you have to wait till the next year. That's how I've understood it anyway. Debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
