    Unfortunately, it has become quite confusing with the constant and on going evolution of the various lists over the years. There is now the MLTSSL, the STSOL and the ROL each with their own requirements or caveats, depending on the visa subclass being applied for (189, 190, 186, 187, 482, 491, 494, 407, 485, etc). To complicate things further, each State or Territory also has their own individual occupation lists for various categories such as 190, 491, DAMA, etc, each with their own requirements.

    Consider that the current processing time for Citizenship can be close to 2 years.

    Except for the $800 fee

    Generally sponsorship applications are being approved quite quickly at the moment, usually a couple of weeks if a decision ready application is lodged.

    For the nomination they will be looking at the company and the position being nominated. As you are on a 485, you will be applying under the direct entry pathway. As such, your husband will need to meet specific requirements for the visa.

    As it is a 491 under the family stream, you can make an educated guess based on previous invitation rounds. For the last published invitation round, for 491 family sponsored, you needed minimum score of at least 90 points to be invited. Invites were issued to candidates who had been in the queue since December 2019. What is your score and when was your EOI lodged?

    May just be a delayed message notifying you of access to the ImmiAccount. The Department's online system was having some technical glitches yesterday.

    Your visa will not expire after 90 days, that's not how it works.

    Have you been invited and lodged a visa application or have you only submitted your Expression of Interest?

    You do realise that once you go offshore to lodge the partner visa, you won't be able to return until you are granted the partner visa (or another visa).

    The 189 invitation point requirements are completely irrelevant to the 190 and 491. 190 and 491 invites are dictated by the individual States, which each have their own requirements. It may be enough, depending on the sponsoring State. As the State requirements change all the time and the number of people in the queue changes, its impossible to know if a certain amount of points for a particular occupation will be enough at any point in time. You need to bear in mind that you are dealing with constantly shifting targets.
  12. Raul Senise
    It depends on the State you have selected and the need they have for your specific occupation. As an example, NSW rates their occupations with "limited, low, medium or high" availability, with each State having their own criteria.

    The only cost that they have to pay for is the training levy. You are allowed to pay an Agent to assist with the application. If the nomination or visa are refused, they will not be refunded the training levy or the lodgement fees. If the visa is refused, you will have the option of withdrawing the visa or it will also be refused. You will not be refunded for the visa for a failed application. This is potentially an option but will extend the processing time significantly.

    If they are not MARA registered they are not an Agent. If they are operating in Australia, they are doing so illegally, as only Registered Migration Agents can can give you immigration assistance. If the nomination was refused for lack of financials, it is your employer who will need to attend the AAT for the refused nomination. You cannot represent your employer at the AAT.

    It will depend on the seriousness of the conviction as to whether it needs to be referred to VACCU for assessment. If it goes to VACCU it could delay processing considerably.
  16. Raul Senise
    Even with those points a 189 would be very unlikely. A 190 may be possible depending on the State, although, as previously stated, the States seem to be moving more towards the 491 rather than the 190.
  17. Raul Senise
    Based on the basic information in your post: Your points calculation appears incorrect. 189: little to no chance with 65 points; 190: low chance with such low points unless a State really needs your specific occupation and skill set. Most States are reducing 190 invites in preference of 491; 491: Worth researching and looking into; Any of the points tested visas will be difficult as an invitation is never assured due to constantly evolving requirement. Partner Visa: Expensive and long processing time. You can apply as long as you meet the requirements, no invite required.

    It will depend on many factors and ultimately an no one will be able to tell you for sure (although many will take your money and promise the world). Currently the occupation of Accountant is subject to "pro rata" arrangements due to high levels. The 491 under the family sponsored program is very limited, with low invitation numbers.
  19. Raul Senise
    As Project Administrator is an occupation which was abused in the past and nominated for jobs which were irrelevant, it is now heavily scrutinized. Vetassess has very specif requirements for this occupation and it is also much dependent on the industry you operate in.
  20. Raul Senise
    If you are looking at a qualifying under the Direct Entry pathway of the subclass 186 visa, you will need a Positive Skills assessment in an occupation on the Medium/Long term list and at least 3 years of full time, skilled employment experience.

    These are questions that you should be asking your Migration Agent as they have all of the details of your particular case.
  22. Raul Senise
    The decision to use an Agent will always depend on personal circumstance such as the case complexity and financial situation. Be mindful that refusal of Partner Visa applications has increased significantly, with Partner refusal appeals now making up a significant portion of the Appeals Tribunal current case load. This has partly been caused by the increase of self lodged applications due to the very high lodgement fees.
  23. Raul Senise
    You can easily check their details on the MARA website. It appears they have a couple of Agents associated with them as "Consultants". According to Part 2.2 of the Migration Agent Code of conduct, Yes: "Note: Advertising includes advertising on the Internet. 2.11 A registered migration agent must, when advertising: (a) include in the advertisement the words “Migration Agents Registration Number” or “MARN”, followed by the agent’s individual registration number;"
  24. Raul Senise
    Research the requirements well as AIM skills assessments require candidates to meet very specific standards.

    You should question the veracity of this advice, considering that the subclass 489 visa has been closed to new applicants for almost 2 months.
