澳洲移民局会议 对新政策的六项澄清

General Skilled Migration update from Canberra

堪培拉最近更新了一般技术移民的政策

At meetings this week in Canberra with the Minister’s Senior Adviser, and with senior Departmental Officers, clarification was obtained on several issues:

该周，部长高级顾问以及各部门的高级官员在堪培拉召开了一次会议，会议对于移民的几个问题进行了解释澄清：

1.GSM applications lodged before new SOL

关于新的SOL出台前的GSM申请

Any GSM applications lodged between now and when the new Skilled Occupation List (SOL) comes into effect in mid-2010 will be assessed on requirements current at the time of application. That means that they will be assessed on the current SOL, and not the new SOL.

到2010年中旬新的SOL生效时间为止，任何GSM申请都将根据申请当时的移民要求进行评估。这也意味着他们将会根据当时的SOL而不是新的SOL标准进行评估

Such applications will of course not be able to claim MODL points.

这些申请无可置疑是不能够依照MODL的标准进行评分。

2.Capping and Ceasing of Pre 1 September 2007 Offshore Applications

关于2007年9月1日之前的离境申请评估的限制和停止

The capping and ceasing of these offshore applications is likely to happen in March. The Minister’s office has advised us that department will be looking closely at these applications where the applicant is actually onshore, and in some cases (eg, where they have been onshore for a considerable period of time and have children who have been in school in Australia for a long time) consideration may be given to granting those visas, or to guide them to another visa option.

对于这些离境移民申请评估的限制和停止可能从三月开始。来自部长办公室的建议：部门将密切审批这些事实上已经入境了的申请人的申请。并且在某些情况下（例如,在被移民局考查期间，已经入境很长时间并且已经有孩子就读澳洲学校的申请人）移民局的考查将会确保这些签证的批准或者建议他们选择申请其他类型的签证。

It is strongly advised that if you have clients who lodged an offshore GSM application before 1 September 2007 and who are currently in Australia, you should contact DIAC to discuss their situation.

如果你已经有客户在2007年9月1日之前递交了离境GSM申请并且目前在澳大利亚境内，强烈建议你联系移民局来汇报他们的目前状况。

The refunds for application which are capped and ceased will be made to the person who paid for the application. Refunds will be by cheque, or by electronic banking where DIAC has those details.

那些被限制并且被终止了的申请的收费将会通过支票或者根据在移民部登记的资料通过电子银行转账形式退回申请人。

3.Review of the General Skilled Migration Points Test – Discussion Paper

一般技术移民评分制度的回顾——讨论文件

The Commonwealth Government has issued a Discussion Paper on a review of the Points Test for General Skilled Migration.

联邦政府已经出台了关于一般技术移民测试的讨论文件

Suggestions or comments should be sent to the Assistant Secretary, Labour Market Branch at independent.skilled@immi.gov.au by Friday 12 March 2010.

2010年3月12日星期五之前，可以通过发邮件给劳工市场部门（independent.skilled@immi.gov.au）将所有建议或者评价反映给助理文秘。

4.MODL and ENS/RSMS applications.

关于MODEL和ENS或者RSMS的申请

DIAC has just issued a FAQs information sheet which states that it will no longer allow nominators or applicants to seek exceptional circumstances because the nominated occupation was previously on MODL.

澳洲移民局刚刚公布了一个常见问题信息表，该常见问题信息表不再允许提名人或者申请人因为提名职业在MODL上就按照特殊情况进行雇主担保移民。（同指南针2月8日发表文章分析相一致）

These FAQs do not appear to be on the DIAC website yet, but can be found here.

这些常见问题还没有更新到澳洲移民局的官方网上，但是可以在这查阅

Legislative Instrument IMMI 10/001, which revoked the MODL, specified a new MODL (the same as the previous one) which is solely for those people who at 8 February 2010:

撤销了原有的MODL，详细规定了新的 MODL（和原有的MODLE一样）的法律文书IMMI 10/001，将于2010年2月8日专门适用于以下申请人：

• hold a Skilled—Graduate (subclass 485) visa, or had a pending subclass 485 visa application and had not yet lodged an application for a provisional or permanent GSM visa and who make an application by 31 December 2012, or

持有技术研究生签证（485签证）的申请人或者已经递交了485签证申请的申请人，尚未提出临时或永久的GSM签证申请的申请人，以及在2012年12月31日之前递交了申请的申请人。

• have a pending GSM visa application.

已经递交了GSM签证申请的申请人

MODL points can still be claimed by people, who at 8 February 2010 were:
• holders of a subclass 485 visa granted before 8 February 2010
• applicants for a subclass 485 visa lodged before 8 February 2010, or
• applicants for a GSM visa lodged before 8 February 2010.

MODL评分标准于2010年2月8日仍然适用于这些人：

于2010年2月8日之前，持有485签证者

于2010年2月8日之前，递交485签证申请的申请者

于2010年2月8日之前，递交GSM签证申请的申请者

These applicants must lodge their GSM application by 31 December 2012.

这些申请者必须在2012年12月31日之前递交他们的GSM申请

5.Job Ready Program

关于就业准备机构

In the DIAC information on 8 February 2010, it was stated that DIAC would, in the future, accept pre-1 January 2010 TRA skills assessments, and that “ It is intended that these arrangements commence in the first quarter of 2010.”

根据2010年2月8日的移民局信息，移民局将接受2010年1月1日之前的TRA技能评估，并且打算从2010年的第一个季度开始。

DIAC cannot give a more precise date for this, as it requires legislative changes which have to be slotted into the Government’s already full legislative agenda. It is still hoped that it will be in the first quarter of this year.

开始接受TRA技能评估需要改变现有的一些法律，而纳入的政府立法议程已经全部排满，因此移民局无法给出开始接受TRA技能评估的确切时间，但是仍然希望能在今年的第一个季度开始。

This means that, at the moment, people lodging an application with a nominated trade occupation cannot use a pre-1 January 2010 TRA assessment, and will have to obtain a new one.

这也就意味着，目前，申请提名技工职业移民申请的申请人不能接受2010年1月之前的TRA技能评估而将必须接受一个新的TRA技能评估

6.485 visa processing

关于485签证的申请

DIAC will be putting more resources into processing Subclass 485 visa applications.

移民局将投入更多的资源来处理485签证的申请
