Accounting skill assessment requirements set to change
By Zoe He

The three skills assessment bodies for accountants (CA, CPA and IPA) have just announced changes to migration assessment criteria which start to take effect from 1 July 2015.
From the information published it would seem that even if you apply before the 1st of July, the new rules will come into place if your assessment is not completed before the 1st of July. One can only hope this is not going to disadvantage those who apply before the 1st of July because the assessing bodies are too busy to complete your application. Let's see what happens.

886 visa applicants being processed again
 Long time readers will know we have long campaigned for years that the freeze on 886 application to be lifted.
Well now again some processing has begun with many applicants waiting four years and longer being allocated case officers to finalize their cases.
Hopefully this trend will continue to all of those extremely patient individuals out there get the visa they deserve.
