No Coolguy means for the people who applied after Feb 2008. For Pre Feb 2008 they have passed the law unfortunately.

Hi,

The news has two different flavours, The fifth last para says "The budget bill also will eliminate about 280,000 visa applications submitted under the Federal Skilled Worker Program before February 2008 by refunding their application fees to the tune of $130 million. The move effectively will reduce the skilled worker backlog to about 110,000."

So its too early to say whats going to happen.

yes thats exactly what it means our PRE FEB 2008 applicants will get returned I'm a December 2007 applicant (Pretoria, South Africa). All the years of waiting and hoping are down the drain.

I also feel sorry for people who planned to apply now in July'12 as that is also been put on hold.

Good luck for the one's who are in the system.

Not necessarily all the pre-feb 2008 cases will be returned.

Those cases who are already in process will not be affected.

There are around 20k applicants from pre 2008 are completed their eligibility review and the same will be processed further.

Their status can be "In Process with processing date"
