You will be lodging a new visa application so will need to provide all required documents.
Labour Market Testing is mandatory unless an exemption applies. It will depend on the specific details for your application.

I am not sure exactly which enquiry you were as I receive many requests for assessments.
The reason that I cannot advise the cost before assessing your specific situation is that each visa has different requirements and costs. Even within the same visa, there are different costs depending on the situation.
As an example:
A subclass 189 visa requires a skills assessment, an expression of interest and a visa application if invited.
A subclass 190 visa requires a skills assessment, an expression of interest, a State application if invited and a visa application if invited. Each State has different requirements and costs.
A 491 visa requires a skills assessment, an expression of interest, a State application if invited and a visa application if invited. Each State has different requirements and costs which are different to the 190 visa requirements.
A subclass 186 requires a nomination application (where Training Costs will vary depending on the business) a skills assessment and a visa application.
Further each assessing Authority has different costs and requirements.
There are potentially other visa all with different requirement and costs.
Even for a partner visa the costs will vary depending on many factors which will determine the amount of work involved.
Visa lodgement fees are different for each visa and depend on the number and age of applicants.
I deal with applicants almost weekly who come to me as they have been taken advantage of, misled and miss quoted.
I just had to deal with a poor soul who was told by a so called overseas Agent that their occupation was in high demand in Australia, when in reality their occupation was on the short term list.
So please don't make accusations on a Public forum where I have assisted many for free, for years, that I will "sting you with massive charges". I have never been accused of this in over 15 years as an Agent and thousands of successful application.
If you want a one size fits all price based on no assessment of your specific situation, feel free to do so, but don't disparage me because I tried to do the right thing by you.

Hi Everyone
Could anyone please assist. I am on a sponsored TSS 482 as Internal Auditor with 2.4 years now with same employer. My degree is in Computer Science and work i do is mostly IT and Cyber Security Audits. I want to apply for 186 DE , but I dont think i will be able to get a skills assessment for Internal Auditor occupation but ICT Security Specialist with ACS. My company is willing to sponsor 186 PR (TRT or DE) but i am not sure if its possible to be sponsored onto a different occupation (other than my current sponsored 482 internal auditor) if i manage to get a skills assessment in Security Specialist occupation. i have prior experience (outside Australia) which can add up to the minimum requirement (3 years) for DE.
The two occupations you mentioned are classified in two very different and distinct ANZSCO classification groups.
You would be wise to seek professional advice as this is potentially a tricky situation.

Hi All
I am looking for advice and information about the normal duration of Bridge visa B.If we have applied for 864 contributory parents visa, then apply bridge visa A and when parents want to travel outside of the australia we apply for bridge visa B then1. On what basis immigration officer decide the duration of bridge visa B ?2. Can we request the duration of bridge visa B , lets say 6 months or 12 month, reason being we need to visit other country to wrap up things like property or parents decide to visit another kid in another country. Will the justification matters for the duration?3. What if they could not return within expiry date of bridge visa B? Whats the impact and how can they return back ?4. If there was a way to come back again, then will failure to come back in time first time will have any impact on future bridge visa b application?5. HighlyThanks in advance Sir/Mam.1. The need to travel. Generally quite accommodating but much more difficult during COVID.
2. Reason for travel and to some degree, visa applied for.
3. The bridging visa is no longer valid and they need to apply for another visa to get back to Australia.
4. They cannot apply for a new BVB while outside of Australia.
5. Will be processed as normal and when ready to finalise will send a letter stating that it cannot be finalised as the applicant needs to be in Australia (unless it was lodged before 24/03/2021).

The occupation I am looking at is on the list yes, would mean a 494 Visa
What occupation are you looking at?
Be mindful that for a 494 your occupation also needs to be on the list for the specific region, of the specific State you are looking to be sponsored by. And even then, you still need to be invited to apply.

Make sure the agent is MARA registered. There are some dreadful scammers out there and their websites look very professional. They spend a lot of money on advertising so when you Google looking for an agent, they come out at the top of the search. A few of our members have been burned.
This is very true. I've had some companies use my name as a Google AdWord so when people searched my name their business would be displayed first.
As for the OP, an application as a Nurse may be possible as this occupation is on the Priority List.

AAT matters that have been returned to DOHA for processing are moving, but slowly.
You can lodge a complaint with the GFU (Global Feedback Unit) but this is likely to result in only a standard response.

If you are offshore and apply for a 482, it will not be processed unless you have an occupation on the priority list and can obtain a travel exemption.
If you are offshore you are unlikely to be invited to apply for a 491 visa.
-
It would be very unusual for the 400 visa to be granted if no travel exemption was in place.
If he does not have an approved travel exemption, he will not be allowed to board the plane.

Hi everyone!
I was wondering if someone could give me advice regarding nominating a occupation.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but do you need to have experience in your nominated occupation? Or could I nominate a occupation where my degree relevant but I've never actually worked in that position?
There are occupations on the list that are similar to what I do but no exact match unfortunately so I was wondering if I could nominate a occupation and just claim no points for experience.
On 21/08/2021 at 11:10, Wannabe Aussie said:I was thinking either the 189 or 491 visa but just wasn't sure if I could nominate an occupation with no experience.
It will depend on many factors including the assessing authority requirements for your chosen occupation and the points you can score for migration purposes.
If you are currently off shore a 189 r 491 would be unlikely at the moment.
-
The skills assessment and points for migration are two separate issues.
ACS is the assessing authority for IT occupations and they can assess your skills under RPL if you have no IT qualifications.
An RPL skills assessment by the ACS can be used for visa application purposes.
The points you will score is a Migration issue and separate to the ACS. It will depend on many factors such as age, English, qualification, employment experience, etc.
The bigger issue to consider is what visa are you looking to qualify for. If you are off shore, your current options will be limited.

As for applying onshore: in normal times, you could come to Australia on a tourist visa, and then apply for a parent visa once you're onshore. You'd then get a bridging visa that would allow you to stay in Australia until the parent visa is granted.
Be mindful that onshore parent visa lodgments are limited by age and not available to everyone.

Thanks Marisa.
Suppose last question from me would be, are sponsored visas (186 or 482) actually getting processed just now (pre covid timelines) or stuck in the backlog with every other visa? I see 7-9 months timeframe on aus.gov website however much longer on the forums..
Thx again
A
As you are offshore, if you do no receive a Travel Exemption approval, the visa application will not be processed and be held in abeyance indefinitely.

About me: Onshore Applicant - On a Bridging VISA for 482 TSS [Medium Skill Shortage]
About Employer: Large scale Australian business
Nomination for Role: Engineering role
Hi all,
I really need help and guidance regarding below.
Issue:
My employer’s nomination has been rejected stating below reasons:
1. DHA says – attempts to hire Australian Employee or PR holder were paper based only. No efforts were made by employer to give an opportunity to local candidate. That implies, LMT was not genuine.
2. No new singed contract has been submitted till date – Employer saying delay with contract was due to Covid-19 restrictions in NSW that occurred in last few weeks as Most of the HR staff working from home and No CEO available to sign the paperwork.
3. DHA has given option to go to AAT.
4. I’ve been given 21 days to provide response regarding my application.
Questions:
1. Can I still stay and work for the employer if their nomination has been rejected due to above reasons? I am on a bridging Visa that I got when applied for 482 VISA.
2. What are my options? And does it seem fair that DHA rejected the nomination without asking for much information as employer has followed all the necessary LMT guidelines.
3. If we withdraw visa application will there be a refund or need to pay total fees again – which is around $5000 [appx.]
4. Will it be possible to prove LMT was genuine or very hard? It was a genuine as employer tried really hard to find replacement.
5. What are the chances of winning we are looking at in this scenario?
6. Any other suggestions? Please add.
Thank you in advance. Really appreciate the response and guidance in the matter.
If you already have an Agent handling your case, you should speak with them as they will know the specifics of your matter.
LMT requirements are very strict and specified by the Regulations. There is no leniency if it is not done correctly.

if a visa is applied for offshore, you can't come to Australia on another visa, and then get a bridging visa to stay.
Not necessarily true. You can sometimes get a bridging visa once in Australia, even if an application was lodged whilst off shore.
The Migration Regulations are complex and there is rarely a rule which is always consistent across all circumstances.-

Thank you all for the input so far. It sounds like it could be a roll of the dice if our worst case scenario comes to be. We will easily oblige with any quarantine requirements at our own cost. Perhaps naively, we are operating in the belief that I (as the main visa holder currently with him as my defacto) will remain in Australia as the “anchor” to hold our life down.
Also, not sure if it has any bearing but my partner while he has a visa also qualifies as being one of the priority skills as a social worker.
If your partner works in an occupation on the Priority List they may be able to use this to gain a travel exemption to return. An application can be processed before they leave so you can have the certainty of knowing they are allowed back.

Please anyone lets me know how many IELTS scores is required for DE186 general accountant? My migration told me IELTS 6 but full skill assessments require IELTS 7.
There are different English requirements for the skills assessment and the visa.

Posting this on behalf of my friend who's very keen to migrate to Australia:
I have lodged my application on 70 points of 189, 75 points of 190 and 85 points of 491. ANZSCO code is 261311.
The application was initially submitted on 5th Dec 2019 and later updated with spouse IELTS score on 9th Apr 2021.
I am turning 40 on 10th of October this year and My ACS is going to expire at the end of October this year and EOI on 5th Dec 2021.
Priority Migration Skilled Occupation list (PMSOL) was recently updated with my ANZSCO code. Ref: Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List
Do I still hold any chances of getting an invite? Is there any alternate route to achieve the invite. Please advise.
There is insufficient information to provide any reasonable advice.
Your friend should seek professional advice.

Most agents refuse to do this, I know of a couple whose terms and conditions say if you do this you have effectively terminated your agreement with them for representation.
The reason for this is that you can attach documents and change information through the ImmiAccount.
If the Agent is not in control of what documents and information are being provided to the Department, they cannot maintain control of the application and assess requirements and issues if and when they arise.

For the 801 you will need to provide fresh evidence to show that you continue to be in the relationship and continue to meet the requirements of the visa.
It is not as onerous as the original 820, hence the lower fee.
-
For a subclass 482, certain occupation have a mandatory requirement for a skills assessment.
For other occupation such as Fitter and Turner, it depends on the Country of passport, as prescribed by the relevant Legislative Instrument.
The case officer has the discretion to request a skills assessment for any occupation, if they see fit.

You will need a visa to enter the country.

Hi all,
I received an email request me to pay 2nd vac English for my wife and I payed yesterday. Today I got a s56 requesting me to redo my afp and ask me to include my informal English name in the afp, I notice that they are two different Case Officers.
does anyone know is this normal? Isn’t asking for 2nd vac payment usually the last step of the process?
Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Unfortunately the file does not remain with the same case officer throughout the process.
Once one case officer makes a request it goes back into the system and a different case officer will get the file after that.

Because they've got me by the balls and both of us know it - My PR is a 186 TRT so going through work. If they let me go, my application gets cancelled so the pressure is there to tow the line and keep on side. They made a case to say because I'm not on-shore I'm unable to fulfil my employment contract
One of the criteria for the 186 is showing that the position is genuine and needed. If you are off shore and have not been paid for a long time, it is likely the Department will conclude that your position is not required.

Bridging Visa A for Contributory Parent Visa Applicants
in Family / Partner Visas
Posted
You can only lodge an onshore Contributory Parent Visa if you are over a certain age.
Bridging visa is granted automatically if a valid onshore application is lodged.
