——新石器留学编译文章，转载请注明出处

The Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Chris Bowen, has set new priority processing arrangements for certain skilled migration visas. These arrangements will give effect to the minister's announcement on 10 May 2011 that regional visas will be given the highest processing priority.
　　澳大利亚移民与公民部部长克里斯·博文对某些技术移民签证的最新受理顺序做出安排, 这些安排将使2011年5月10日的部长公告生效，偏远地区签证将获得最先受理。

Priority processing refers to the order in which the department considers skilled migration applications. The minister is able to consider and finalise visa applications in an order of priority that the minister considers appropriate. The changes to priority processing do not change visa eligibility criteria.
　　优先受理指的是移民部在审理技术移民申请时的受理顺序。移民部部长在受理和决定签证申请时将依循他认为合适的顺序。受理顺序的改变并不改变签证条件。

The new priority processing arrangements apply to the following visas:
　　最新优先受理顺序的安排适用于以下签证类别：

·Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) 雇主提名移民计划（ENS）
·Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) 偏远地区担保移民计划（RSMS）
·certain General Skilled Migration (GSM). 某些一般技术移民签证类别（GSM）

From 1 July 2011, processing priorities (with highest priority listed first) are:
　　自2011年7月1日起，最新受理顺序如下（按照优先受理顺序的先后排列）：

1、applications from people who are employer sponsored under the RSMS program or who have applied for a Skilled – Regional (subclass 887) visa
　　受理顺序1. 已经获得偏远地区移民计划下的雇主提名者或者已经申请了偏远地区技术移民（887签证）者的申请；
2、applications from people who are applying under the ENS program
　　受理顺序2. 雇主提名移民计划下申请者的申请；
3、applications from people who are nominated by a state or territory government agency for an occupation specified on that agency's state migration plan
　　受理顺序3. 已经获得州政府担保计划下州政府移民处提名者的申请；
4、applications from people who have nominated an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) – Schedule 1 in effect from 1 July 2011
　　See: Annual Update of Skilled Occupation List (SOL）
　　受理顺序4. 已经提名一项2011年7月1日生效的技术移民职业清单（SOL）表1内职业者的申请；
5、all other applications.
　　受理顺序5. 所有其他类别的申请。

Priority processing arrangements have been designed to complement other recent changes to skilled migration to ensure that the economy gets the skills it needs now. They help to better address the needs of industry by targeting skills in demand across a number of sectors, and help ensure that the skilled migration program is responsive to the current economic climate and the needs of the Australian economy. Priority processing arrangements are subject to further change in response to the economic climate and the demand for particular skills in the Australian economy.
　　优先受理顺序安排的出台，是为了完善近期的技术移民新政，确保我国经济建设可以得到即时所需技术人才；有助于强调哪些跨部门的技术是该行业的需求；有助于确保技术移民计划对经济形势和澳大利亚经济的需求保持敏感性。优先受理顺序的安排将随着经济形势和澳大利亚经济的特殊需求而变化。

Priority processing arrangements apply to current applications, including those in the final stages of processing. Departmental case officers must follow the direction made by the minister about priority processing. Case officers are not able to respond to requests to process individual applications outside of the order set out in these processing priority arrangements. Refunds of costs incurred during processing are not available for delays in processing.
　　优先受理顺序的安排适用于现有的移民申请，包括那些处于受理最后阶段的申请。移民部的个案签证官必须按照部长关于优先受理顺序的指示办理；个案签证官不得违背优先受理顺序安排对个别申请的受理请求作出回应。在受理过程中，由于延误产生的费用不予退款。

·applications that are remitted to the department by the Migration Review Tribunal (MRT)
　　移民复审庭已经移交给移民部的申请；
·applications where it is readily apparent that the criteria for grant of a visa would not be satisfied
　　十分明显不符合移民签证条件的申请；
·applications from subsequent entrants. 本规定出台后提交的申请。

RSMS, ENS and state migration plans—priority groups 1, 2 and 3
偏远地区担保、雇主提名和州政府担保移民计划—优先受理顺序1、2、3
Applications from people who are applying under the RSMS are processed as priority group 1. Those applying under the ENS are processed as priority group 2.
　　偏远地区担保移民计划下的申请人的申请属于第一优先受理组别。雇主提名移民计划下申请者的申请属于第二优先受理组别。

Applications from people who are nominated by a state or territory government agency with a nominated occupation that is specified on the state or territory's state migration plan receive the third highest level of priority processing. State migration plans are developed by state or territory governments in consultation with the department. They include occupations that are in demand in each individual state and territory.
　　已经获得州政府担保计划下州政府移民处提名者的申请属于第三优先受理组别。州政府通过与移民部协商的方式制定州移民计划。州移民计划包括各州不同的急需职业。

As a transitional arrangement, applicants who were nominated by a state or territory government for an 'off-list' occupation prior to the implementation of state migration plans will also receive processing under priority group 3.
　　作为过渡性安排，州政府在州政府移民计划实施前提名的从事不在技术移民职业清单中的职业者所作出的申请，也列为第三优先受理组别。

Occupations on the SOL—Schedule 1 in effect at 1 July 2011—priority group 4
2011年7月1日生效的技术移民职业清单-表1中的职业列为第四优先受理组别
All applicants with a nominated occupation on the SOL—Schedule 1 are included in priority group 4. This includes both independent applicants and applicants sponsored by an Australian family member.
　　所有提名了技术移民职业清单-表1中职业的申请人提出的申请列为第四优先受理组别，包括独立技术移民和家庭成员担保类移民申请。

All other applications—priority group 5 其他申请列为第五优先受理组别
Applicants with a nominated occupation that is not on the SOL—Schedule 1 in effect at 1 July 2011 and who are not employer sponsored or nominated by a state or territory government under a state migration plan, will be processed under priority group 5.
　　若申请人提名的职业不在2011年7月1日生效的技术移民职业清单-表1中，且没有获得雇主担保或者州移民计划下的州政府提名，那么他的申请将会列在第五优先受理组别。

Applicants with a nominated occupation that is not on the SOL—Schedule 1 in effect at 1 July 2011 can only move into a higher priority group by lodging a new application with an employer sponsorship or a state or territory government nomination in an occupation specified under a state migration plan. Alternatively, applicants can only nominate a different occupation that is on the SOL—Schedule 1 by lodging a new application. It is not possible to change a nominated occupation or to change to an employer sponsored or state nominated visa category, unless a new application is lodged. A new application would require the payment of a new Visa Application Charge.
　　若申请人提名的职业不在2011年7月1日生效的技术移民职业清单-表1上，那么他可以通过递交新的申请来提高自己的优先受理顺序，转为雇主担保或者州移民计划下的州政府提名的职业。换句话说，申请人只有通过重新递交申请才能提名另外一个不在技术移民职业清单-表1中的职业。除非重新申请，否则提名的职业不得改为雇主担保或者州政府提名签证类别。递交新的申请需要再次支付签证申请费。

Applicants should not contact the department to request that their application be exempt from the priority processing direction. Case officers do not have discretion to exempt applications.
　　申请人不要联系移民部要求他们的申请不按优先受理顺序的约束。个案签证官没有擅自改变受理顺利的权利。

Options available to applicants in priority group 5 第五优先受理组别申请人的选项
Applicants with nominated occupations in priority group 5 should note that these changes are designed to facilitate priority processing of group 1. Group 5 will however still have a long wait for visa processing. The options available are as follows.
　　提名了第五优先受理组别职业的申请人应该注意：这些变化旨在为第一优先受理组别的申请受理提供便利。第五优先受理组别的签证申请仍然需要等待很久。他们有以下选择：
For applicants who were outside Australia when they made their application:
　　对于那些在海外递交申请的申请者：
·continue to await a decision on their visa application 继续等待签证申请结果；
·consider eligibility for an employer sponsored visa, which would require a new visa application
若符合雇主担保签证条件就递交一个新的签证申请；
·consider eligibility for nomination by a state or territory government under a state migration plan, which would require a new visa application
若能获得州移民计划下的州政府提名就递交一个新的签证申请；
·withdraw their application. 撤销申请。

For applicants who were in Australia when they made their application:
对于那些在澳大利亚递交申请的申请者：
·continue to live and work in Australia (if their visa permits) while awaiting a decision on their visa application 在签证允许的情况下，在等待移民申请结果的同时继续在澳大利亚生活和工作；
·consider eligibility for an employer sponsored visa, which would require a new visa application
若符合雇主担保签证条件就递交一个新的签证申请；
·consider eligibility for nomination by a state and territory government under a state migration plan, which would require a new visa application
若能获得州移民计划下的州政府提名就递交一个新的签证申请；
·apply for another substantive visa 申请其他实质性签证；
·withdraw their application and depart Australia. 撤销申请，离开澳大利亚

Note: Applicants are not entitled to a refund of their Visa Application Charge or compensation for other costs incurred in making an application.
注意：申请人不得要求退回签证申请费或其在申请中产生的其它费用。

Applicants who are in Australia and need to travel overseas while waiting for their application to be processed should approach their local office of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship to discuss an application for a Bridging visa B. Bridging visa B is generally not issued for greater than three months. Applicants should not contact the visa processing centre where they lodged their application to request a Bridging visa B.
　　在申请受理的等待过程中，如果申请人在澳大利亚但需要到海外旅行的话，需要到当地的移民部办事处申请B类过桥签证。B类过桥签证一般都不超过三个月。申请人不要联系他们递交移民申请的签证受理中心请求获得B类过桥签证。

Bridging visa C holders who want to apply for work rights should contact the visa processing centre where they lodged their application.
　　C类过桥签证持有者想要申请工作权利的话，应该联系他们递交申请的签证受理中心。

Processing Times 受理期

As processing times are dependent on a range of factors, individual processing times may vary considerably from the published estimates. Estimates are subject to change in response to changes in application rates and skilled migration policy.
Information on estimated processing times is available in the Client Services Charter.
