    Skillselect ENS 186 Timeline

    in Working and Skilled Visas

    Posted

    Morning,

    I had everything ready prior to submitting so we all had our medicals and our uk ans Australia police checks and form 80. Yes it's a risk to spend the money but its worth it in my opinion and I believe that's why it was allocated quickly as it was an easy one for them :) good luck and let me know if I can help in any way :)

     

     

    Congratulations! Did you do your Medicals prior to being requested? Husbands employer nomination was lodged 15th May and our visa was submitted 18th June still for a case officer. Wondered if we should wait to be asked to do Medicals or just get them done as we have the TRN?

     

     

    Any experience advice great fully received.

     

    Thanks

    UK Child Benefit - Living in Australia on 457 Via - Entitled to any benefits?

    in Aussie Chat

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

    I am hoping someone can either help me out or at least point me in the right direction.

    I have been living in Australia for 5 years and am on a defacto 457 visa (My partner is English too). I have a 17 month old who was born here and another baby due any day. Financially things are tight as we're kind of in limbo and aren't entitled to anything here in Aus like the baby bonus or child care rebates as we aren't permanent. My friend today suggested that we should be entitled to child benefit from the UK as we are citizens there. Does anyone know if this is true and how we go about it?

    Thank you so much in advance

    ENS 186 Visa - Temporary Residence Transition stream

    in Visa Chat

    Posted

    OK It's a bit of a long winded story but I'll try to shorten it as much as possible:

     

     

    • I'm on a 457 Visa with my current employer
    • Last August 2012 we put in the 186 Visa and they paid for it all (Over $3500) but I was told to submit the documents myself.
    • Paid and had all medicals done and UK and Aus police checks
    • Didn't really know what I was doing but did my best and thought I'd uploaded everything correctly
    • Received a call a couple of weeks ago to say I'd submitted the Employer part using direct entry stream and my part using theTemporary Residence Transition stream which is the one I should have chosen for both.
    • Basically told it was either withdraw and lose the money or she'd have to refuse it.
    • Obviously I withdrew and my employer is happy (ish) to do it again but I am obviously having to pay for my part this time
    • We submitted everything again on Friday

     

     

    My questions are;

     

    1. As I can't afford a migration agent (And am pretty confident I'll not be that stupid again) am I able to submit a decision ready application on my own?
    2. Do you know what the current wait time is for these applications as I already feel we've been waiting for so long and I don't feel safe if you know what I mean? I feel like there's a huge weight on my shoulders until this is final. We want to buy a house and actually settle in the Country we've called home for 5 years and it's all our son has ever known.
    3. The last person at the company gave me the last 3 month bank statements but I'm now been told that I can't have these due to privacy - will this be a deal-breaker.
    4. If there is something missing will this put us back down the list?
    5. Has anyone else been this stupid and had to start again?
