オーストラリア永住権＆就労ビザコミュのChanges to the Decision Ready Checklist processing for eLodged GSM application - 4 NOV 2010

The introduction of State Migration Plans (SMP) has impacted on what
applications can be lodged under the Brisbane eGSM Decision Ready
Checklist Trial (DRC).

The SMP for Victoria became effective from 3 November 2010 and the
Department is required to give any GSM applications under this SMP or
any other SMP that comes into effect, priority over those with a lower
priority.

This will result in a limiting of the DRC from 3 November 2010 to
applications that are Priority 2 (i.e. GSM applications under an SMP) or
are not affected by the Ministers Priority Processing Directions.

Applications that have already been allocated to case officers under DRC
or any other arrangements will continue to be processed to finality.
Any Priority 3 applications not yet allocated will only be allocated to
case officers when all Priority 2 applications have been allocated,
these would be allocated based on date of visa application.
