滴答网讯 唐林律师行刚刚收到MIA发布的有关催签的最新通告（全文如下）。通告指出：
澳大利亚移民局布里斯班审理中心每天能接到至少20-30个申请人打来的电话说其移民代理建议他们致电移民局询问在其催签信递交后还需要等候多长时间。
MIA指出这种行为将会导致移民局浪费大量的时间在接听电话上面，从而会影响签证审理的速度。MIA要求个别移民代理停止此种行为，并会与有关代理联系要求做出解释。如仍有此种情况发生的话，移民局将会考虑撤销催签。
MIA同时指出由于催签的成功推广，移民局决定将分配签证官的周期延长至10个工作日。但这并不意味着在10个工作日内就可以做出决定。什么时间出结果要取决于每个签证官及案件的复杂难易程度。
唐林律师行非常理解各位申请人盼望能够早日拿到签证并且担心夜长梦多，移民政策又变幻莫测。但是也请考虑MIA的建议。与移民局联系之前也要三思而行，以免适得其反。
唐林律师行认为，移民局催签的推行从本质上来讲是给自己设了一个紧箍咒。其实是在有限的时间内完成相对无限的工作量。这事非常积极，非常值得鼓励，毕竟它一反常态，与慢条斯理的一贯作风大为不同。现在突然间又冒出如此多的电话来催签，这就相当于被戴上紧箍咒后唐僧又念起了经。移民官不可能很愉快。所以真有一天承受不住此压力，保不住会对极为得人心的催签做出些什么。所以，建议客户在代理催签后请耐心等上一段时间（比如一个月左右）。并且，就是真着急了，也是让代理以电子邮件询问好过客户自己打电话催问。因为正如MIA所说，并不因为电话的催问而在任何程度上加快审理的速度，现在来看还有可能产生负面效果。

Issues with Decision Ready Checklists
Dear Members,
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) General Skilled Migration (GSM) Brisbane has advised they are receiving about 20 to 30 telephone calls each day from clients of RMAs who are advising their clients to telephone GSM Brisbane and enquire how long the processing will take in consideration of the fact that Decision Ready Checklists were lodged.
As you will understand, this is wasting valuable time of the DIAC officers, and those who are advising their clients to directly phone DIAC must stop doing so, or DIAC may decide to cease the use of Decision Ready Checklists (DRCs).
We will contact the Members who have been advising clients to contact DIAC to explain why this behaviour must not continue.
I now request each of you to assist your colleagues in ensuring proper practices are followed which will benefit both our clients and the processing procedures by DIAC.
GSM Brisbane has further advised that due to the overwhelming success of the DRC, they must extend the time for allocation to a case officer to 10 working days. You will note this change is stated in the auto response email.
Please also note that this does not mean that the decision will be made in 10 working days. Once the case officer is allocated the case, the processing time depends on each particular case.
Please be patient and advise your client to be patient. Phone calls from clients or agents are not going to make things happen any faster. |
