Those applicants who are not state sponsored or do not have an occupation on the critical skills list should expect longer processing times. We believe that DIAC are processing applications in the following order: *Group 1* Those applications who are State/Territory Sponsored *Group 2* Those applications whose nominated occupation is on the Critical Skills List *Group 3* Those applications whose nominated occupation is on the MODL *Group 4* All other applications In summary, Group 1 could be allocated case officers within weeks and Group 2 within months, whereas for Group 3 and 4 could be pushed out to between 7 to 12 months Well we're Group 2 - so keep those fingers crossed that we might actually get a CO in the next couple of months!
