Oh so the 5 year clock to make the permanent move starts ticking from the date the police check or medical is done, whichever is first? Do they usually approve the RRVs and that $465 would be the only additional cost if I needed to apply and if approved is it extended for another 5 years? Or a lesser period?
-
You must enter Australia within 12 months of either the police check or the medical, whichever was done first. Exceptions are very rare. This first activation visit can be as short as a few hours, you do not actually have to make the permanent move in that time. You then have the remainder of the 5 years to make the move to Australia. Current RRV fee looks like $465 https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/fees-and-charges/current-visa-pricing#

To activate the visa you have to enter (usually within 12 months of either the medicals or the grant date). I doubt it’s negotiable unless you have strong extenuating circumstances? if you don’t then move then I’d expect the visa expires? Why would you want to go through all of this and then not move? Perhaps you should be seeking advice from a licensed professional?
-
Raul you said "12 months of validity of Medicals for first entry." and what exactly does this mean please? I do HAVE TO enter Australia within 12 months of being granted the visa to activate it? It is a non negotiable? Also you said "If one does not become a Citizen within 5 years, they need to apply for an RRV to renew the travel facility on the visa." Is the RRV expensive? So it is not the case that "Once activated I have 5 years from this activation date to make the permanent move to Australia, otherwise I have to go through the application process again and pay the fees for a second time?"

Dear All, I am planning to get a skill assessment done from ACS, as I am a Telecom Manager with over 19+ yrs of total experience and I believe I can get a 135112 assessment done based on my 10+ yrs of experience in Telecom Management. The experts here can comment and guide me on the process and the ways to get the +ve outcome. Based on this profile ANZSCO code, what do you think what chances do I have for a 190 & 491 visa from any state nomination? Also, my wife is in the HR profession, she can get the skill assessment done from VETASSESS and get IELTS/PTE done to gain more points. My score is 65, and my wife's score will be 75, and this is without 190 or 491 nominations, in case we get any nominations, it'll be 70/80 for me for 190/491 and 80/90 for my wife in HR advisor (223111 ANZSCO Code) Pls suggest

It's divisive and promotes a "them and us" attitude. Just how many voices are needed?!!!!!! The whole bloody fiasco infers that Aboriginals don't have a voice. I could list all the advisory bodies, Aboriginal Pollies, health /intiiatives proposed in the past BY Aboriginals blah blah blah but I don't have a whole day to spare. As the judge said.................."it's a No from me"............and I've been Labour/Socialist all my life but misguided good intentions will be Labours eventual downfall.

Australian personal tax returns - Deadline approaching
Alan Collett posted a topic in Money & Finance
The deadline for appointing a registered tax agent and securing an extension of the 31st October 2023 for filing your personal 2023 Australian tax return is now only 5 weeks away. If you want more time to prepare and submit your 2023 Australian tax return you should be on a registered tax agent's lodgment program by the end of October 2023. Doing this can also push back the due date for paying any tax owing to the Australian Taxation Office - so if you have untaxed income from a source such as a positively geared rental property or a capital gain from the disposal of a property or shares you are likely to benefit from appointing a registered tax agent. https://www.ato.gov.au/.../How-to-lodge-your-tax-return/... -
Oooh which agent was that? Dish the dirt! Haha! Good luck with what follows, let us know how you get on.

Racial discrimination is the differential treatment of people from different ethnicities. Racism is as I described above. You are confusing the two.

Actually you have described racial discrimination. The voice does treat people differently based on their race and does introduce race into the constitution if this proposal if passed. Although very unlikely to pass now as Australians en masse have come to realise what it is about. I think it is fair to call it racism.

Thanks Inner voice,this helps!!

From what you have posted, your interpretation is correct. DHA are masters of displacing the modifier 'only'.

@Kiran2606 you've used the visa processing times guide tool which is as much information as anyone (not working for immigration) has, so you can see you're about halfway through the standard processing time (90% of the visas are processed in 13 Months). It states on the Overview page that the median processing time for Skilled (Permanent) visas is 7 months, which is the length of time since you applied, so hopefully not too much longer to wait. Good luck with your application. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-processing-times/overview

1) 309 and 100 are lodged together. If certain requirements are met they will approve the 309, immediately followed by the 100. If not they will process the 309 first, and process the 100 after 2 years. 2) Current published processing time is 90% processed in 32 months. Median is 10 Months. Processing times vary greatly. 3) 12 months of validity of Medicals for first entry. 4) If one does not become a Citizen within 5 years, they need to apply for an RRV to renew the travel facility on the visa.

11th October at about 15:23pm Sorry but nobody can tell you, you'll get it when you get it. Maybe you'll be asked for more information about something in the future or maybe you'll just receive an answer granted or refused. It entirely depends on the caseload, priorities etc. It looks like you're currently within the standard processing time at the moment so probably wouldn't get far trying to contact the dept about it. Unfortunately it looks like 190s are taking a backseat to 189s at the moment but processing times change regularly as they work on clearing the backlog.
-
Yes that's pretty much all correct. The time it takes to get a decision depends on overall volumes of applications, your circumstances and the quality of your application. Someone like me with 22 years married to an Aussie, dependant children, mutual wills and power of attorney, 60 pieces of uploaded evidence, etc etc is probably going to be quicker than a person who's been in a relationship for a year, separate bank accounts and no common friends. From what you've shared your situation sounds pretty strong so I'd be surprised if you have to wait too long, but for a better guestimate you'd want to hear from a migration agent of timelines for similar, recent cases.

My Australian girlfriend(she born there) and I ( I am born in England) wish to move permanently to Australia and marry there. We have lived together in the UK for 4 years in a property we own. I have a few questions please. 1)I would apply for a permanent subclass 100 visa and the temporary 309 visa at the same time and the authorities decide which visa to grant me based on my weight of evidence and if my case is strong and straight forward they would grant me the 100? With the total cost being about £5,400? 2) How long roughly is it taking from submission of an application to get a visa decision? 3) Once I get the decision I have to in person enter Australia within 12 months of being granted the visa to activate it? 4) Once activated I have 5 years from this activation date to make the permanent move to Australia, otherwise I have to go through the application process again and pay the fees for a second time?

You can apply for an RRV - the requirements are the same as for a former permanent resident.
