Hi All,
I just sat to file for immigrantion when i saw the rules have changed .Following are the major changes i could notice so far :
1) List of Occupations reduced drastically .Mine doesnt fit .
2) Only 20,000 applications will be accepted in one year ,with a limit of 1000 applications for each occupation under the list.
3) All the visa specific documents have to be mailed together with the main application to the cio(copy) and the visa office (originals)
as against the previous rule of sending it within 120 days of initial screening.This will shave off 120 days of processing time .
4)The language test is mandatory and the result is required at the time of application .
5) The original visa specific documents needs to be sent to visa office and its copy to be sent with the main application.
I request you all to please review these changes from the main immigration site and advice on any changes i might have missed or misunderstood .
Thanks,
Vagabond
