Breaking Australian immigration news brought to you by Migration Alliance and associated bloggers.
Yet again no notification provided by the government about cutoff times....this time it's about NSW State sponsorship..... no information that we were nearing the close of state sponsorships, that the NSW government was down to it's final numbers towards end of 2013. Consultation seems to be at an all time low at the start of 2014. It can only get better I guess. I received this email from a RMA...
Please take this up with the NSW State Sponsorship unit, if possible.
They have suspended accepting applications for 190 effective today. The notice seems to have been published today itself.
With 4 applications at hand, 2 of them ready for dispatch, it is extremely demotivating that they should suspend processing without sufficient advance notice. My clients prepared and couriered their applications from India only to find out that NSW wasn’t going to accept them until July 2014.
