DIAC should consider the whole resume (almost all the supports are for Solaris, two Solaris 9 & 10 Certifications)
not only the header. My wife and me have the same problem. Someone help us please !!! thanks

Application was lodged with DIAC on August, 15, 2007

I have submitted medical checks and police clearance twice, Jan 2008 and May 2009.

I received a letter that told me my visa was to be granted soon (May 2009). In fact the letter suggested I should be in Aus. at Nov.2009.

I would like to ask you to reconsider recent changes and finish processing applicants that have already been waiting for more than two years.

Yours sincerely,

Why if I have applied more than two years and a half and counting, I still have to adapt to new circumstances that didn't exist then? The changes should affect new applications, not existing ones. Having 15 days left to finish processing 2007, means waiting two or more years which maybe can turn into four. This is just unfair. Please reconsider, Australia need us now, not when we get older.

I have signed the petition despite on I am already an Australian citizen. The main concern is that we have to be consistent and pro-active in terms of our policies.
I do understant that currently we do not have a wide shortage of the GSM professions. However the latest shift toward family stream seems to be a step toward incorrect direction. We will need skilled migrants very soon.
Hope we will be able to help these people and save our reputation as trusted nation.
Thank you.
