Applicant from PhD program after 5 Nov, 2011 connect here to get status

[asbereth]

you may be right. As per IRPR one need educational credential. Some what confusing .....

Depends upon VO to interpret ??

One need not have to obtain educational credential, the program needs to be completed. I'm not sure exactly how that can work (completing a program without obtaining educational credential or a degree)...

As TyrusX mentioned earlier it is better not to depend upon these 5pt towards the total score of 67

No doubt about it. Not a single applicant that has had to rely on these 5 points has received positive decision so far. I don't believe it's fair, and it's frustrating, but what can we do...

I became very anxious these days...wondering what happened to applications in late Feb till April 2012...I need to make some big decisions recently, but this whole PR application and the uncertainties associated with it just made everything so complicated...And I cannot make any final decision at all...

Thanks! yes I was surprised. Given the recent trend, it seems that they are indeed processing things faster these days.

I think I got bad luck because I was refused just as a result of not listing detailed information (working hours and duties) on the working experience letter.
I think they should ask for a detailed letter (for some lucky guys) instead of direct refusal, but, whatever, just bad luck for me.

I would like share the above to help others. Please please ask the staff in you department to list all the required information before they issue the official letter. I thought they should be familiar with this but I was proved wrong.

BTW, if there are any other people have similar experience like me. If so, can you tell how to deal with this.

Were you refused at the Sydney level? Several people either did not get past Sydney or got asked to provide more detailed word experience letter. Usually you won't even get Sydney PER without complete reference letters. Anyway, did you try reapplying now? Make sure that everything is complete so they won't have any more excuses for rejection.

Any news for Feb and March applicants?

None of us has heard anything yet. This is starting to feel more and more like late May early june last year, where a lot of applicants started to get processed, until they stopped completely for 6 to 7 months. Hopefully this won't be the same this time. It's really hard to take, especially those that are eventually rejected

Anyway,congrats for those that just got their PER I think it's hitting that time of the year again where Sydney becomes really active. Hope they won't go back to sleep mode again like lastt year

I request my new GCMS notes today. Let's see what will happen in 4 weeks. I'll be going to Brazil in the end of March for 2 weeks. I am actually hoping the take some time to process things now.
