From what you have posted, 189.

They are giving their 'artificial intelligence' software a gallop.

Yes.

Immigration did not count as refusals those who received an 'adverse information' letter and withdrew, or withdrew for some other reason, rather than have a visa refusal on record. The refusal rates published by immigration seem to be at odds with the number review applications to the AAT at relevant times, particularly so when it is taken into account that not all visa refusals result in a review application. I have taken a few partner and other refusal cases (none of mine) to the AAT and so far have not lost one. Immigration have their neck in a knot (again) re family and other family visas. You can put your money on lengthy processing delays and an increased refusal rate.

Refusal rates for other visas are available online 2020-21 Migration Program Report.pdf

Employer sponsored visas are not points tested.

If an applicant dies before a visa is decided, a refund of the Visa Application Charge can be sought.

Yes

Advice! If you establish a publishing company and publish numerous papers, you would not be the first.

The likely costs during the period of the visa will be assessed. For a student visa and the condition you mentioned, you are unlikely to have a problem.

There are strategies that can be used in these circumstances. May I suggest that you consult one of the registered migration agents who posts on this forum for a case assess,emt?

ANY degree assessed as comparable to an Australian degree is worth 15 points, even if it is unrelated to the nominated skilled occupation.

As far as I know the liar from the shire cancelled visas, but not applications.

Even worse were the thousands of perfectly valid applications that were capped and ceased by the Honourable, the Minister, Michaelia Cash in 2015. Some were from my clients who had waited many years for a visa decision. I arranged refunds of the visa application charges, but they lost the money they had paid for skills assessments, English language tests, my professional fee and ancillary costs. Some of them had reached the age where they could not apply to Australia or anywhere else.

For one example: When the Hon Senator Evans was in the van, stuffing up everything he put his hands on, in particular deferring the processing of skilled visas and changing the rules without warning, I had a client whose husband had come to Australia on a visitor visa without informing me. I had the choice of not including the husband on the offshore application or including him in which case his application, but not hers, would be invalid. In those days visa application charges were per application, not per applicant. The best strategy was to lodge before the particular skilled application was deleted from the list or the application was stuffed in some other way by the Honourable and subsequently include the husband after he went home. There are other circumstances in which lodging an invalid application or an application that has limited prospects of success might be considered.

If an invalid visa application is submitted, the visa application charge is refundable. There are rare circumstances in which lodging an invalid application is a sound strategy, but not in the case above.

Consult one of the RMAs who posts on this forum and in general deal directly with a RMA, not an organisation that retains the services of a RMA as a consultant.

This is quite misleading.

It would be a sound idea for the OP to take advice about possible strategies in case there is a health issue at some stage.

To be granted a bridging visa you must lodge a valid visa application onshore for a visa that can be granted onshore. If you want information about your possible visa straegies go to my website pinoyau.com and use the contact form.

On the face of it internal auditor seems to be an option, but I cannot confirm this without undertaking an assessment of your case. If you go to my website pinoyau.com and use the contact form I shall, have a look at your case.
