  1. Application type Period counted Timeframe for 75% of applications Timeframe for 90% of applications Australian citizenship by conferral (general eligibility and other situations) From date of application to decision 18 months 27 months From date of approval to ceremony 8 months 9 months From date of application to ceremony 23 months 26 months
  2. Be mindful that there are 2 applications to lodge, the Nomination for the Company and the Visa application for you. For a 186 TRT the nomination is usually the more complex of the two applications. Professional assistance is usually recommended for the nomination at least. For the visa side, it will depend somewhat on your specific situation and complexity of your case. Costs are high and a simple mistake can lead to refusal, so an initial professional assessment may be wise.
  3. It appears that of the few travel exemptions grated to enter Australia, many are for Medical occupations working in critical sectors.
  4. It will depend when your 482 expires. If your 482 is cancelled, the bridging visa A connected to the 820 will also be cancelled and you will go onto a bridging visa E with no work rights. You can apply for work rights on the bridging visa E, but this will depend on your specific circumstances. I suggest you obtain professional advice to understand the full implications.
  5. NSW does not publish the points they offer invitations for, so it is difficult to predict. Currently they have the occupation of Management Consultant listed as Low availability, which means there are few places left for this occupation. This may change in July when the Migration program year restarts and more place may become available.
  6. I have seen very few finalised in the last couple of months.
  7. The bigger issue that you face in applying for a subclass 820 visa from a bridging visa, is meeting schedule 3 criteria. This can be very difficult and the cause of many partner visa refusals.
  8. I am an Australian based Registered Migration Agent and lodge applications for clients both in and outside of Australia. Currently subclass 482 applications for both on and off shore applicants are being held up by processing delays caused by the ongoing Covid 19 situation.
  9. The minimum score to lodge an expression of interest is 65, but this would be unlikely to result in an invitation to apply for a visa. The score to receive an invite to apply for a 190 visa will vary from State to State. If you are only looking to apply next year, the current scores are irrelevant as they will definitely change by then. We may have a totally new visa system by next year. If you are serious about migrating and believe that you meet the current requirements, you should act quickly as there is no guarantee that you will still qualify next year.
  10. You may want to do some research (even a simple Google search) as there appear to be a number of organisations using this name. The reviews on one Facebook page using this name appear concerning. If they are Australian based you should also check the MARA registry to see if they are Registered Migration Agents.
  11. The statement is in regards to Temporary Skilled Visa holders such as 457 and 482 who have a very specific condition on their visa, which does not allow for part time employment.
  12. Unfortunately the Regulations can be complex and often do not make sense. The problem with relying on information from the Immigration website is that it is just a brief summary of the requirements and not the actual Law.
  13. There have been suggestions that the Government may allow some concessions for a range of visas due to COVOD19, but there have been no clear announcements made by the Government yet in this regard. It would require a change to the Regulations or at least Policy, which is difficult and can take time. Only time will tell.
  14. It will depend on which PR pathway as the Regulations differ considerably. The occupations you have mentioned (Management Consultant, Sales and Marketing and Civil Engineer) are unrelated from an Immigration point of view.
  15. Things are slow with 482 processing at the moment, but I would expect an accredited sponsor application to go through more quickly.
  16. This is very dangerous advice. A 187 requires two years service with your employer, in Regional Australia, otherwise the visa can be cancelled under Section 137Q of the Migration Act.
  17. Yes there is. The subclass 187 can be cancelled if you do not do your two years of employment in Regional Australia.
  18. The age-old question which is guaranteed to fire up debate and very differing opinions. The reality is that it will depend on your specific and personal situation as to whether an Agent is required or recommended. You state that you are about to submit a 190 visa application. Do you mean that you have lodged an EOI, lodged a State sponsorship application with Victoria, been approved by Victoria, received an invitation from the Department of Home Affairs and are about to lodge the subclass 190 visa?
  19. Have a look to see if you qualify to apply for the subclass 408 under the emergency Covid 19 provisions as this has a $0 lodgement fee.
  20. Partly because the system has been overwhelmed by people using the AAT as a loophole to extend their visa, when their case has no real merit. As of March, the AAT has over 65,000 active Migration and Refugee cases, many off which are with little or no merit. Unfortunately, people with genuine cases are being unfairly delayed.
  21. I would advise you to proceed with caution. If you spoke to the Department of Home Affairs Help Line, you should be aware that this service has been outsourced, so you are not actually speaking with anyone from the Department of Home Affairs. Also be mindful that there is a big difference in terminology between "processing" and "finalising" applications.
  22. This would be a risky strategy as it is possible that they will not process offshor 186 applications while the travel ban is in place. Yes. They are two completely different nominations. You cannot use a 482 nomination for a 186 and vica versa. You can pay an extra fee to Vetassess for priority processing of complete applications.
  23. It desn't even need to be complicted these days. Have had a number of previous visa clients come back asking for assistance for problemes encontered with DIY Citizenships.
  24. Again, this information is not correct.
