  1. Unfortunately not, I am also on the Grandfathered rule, my occupation is Systems Administrator - 262113 so it is on the STSOL.
  2. 12 Months, that would put me at June 2019 - that seems like a lifetime away!
  3. I assume this is Systems Administrator? I am also on this occupation for a 186 TRT having lodged in June 2018 - doesn't give me much hope on a quick turnaround
  4. If their occupation is now on the STSOL but they previously held their 457 visa in that occupation before 18 April 2017, they can apply for a 186 DE or TRT.
  5. @Hex - there are Grandfathering arrangements in place though. Based on the below: Client held a subclass 457 visa on 18 April 2017 and continues to hold this visa or a 457 visa/TSS visa/related bridging visa at time of application OR Client lodged a subclass 457 visa application on or before 18 April 2017 which was subsequently granted and continues to hold this visa or a 457 visa/TSS visa/related bridging visa at time of application: New requirements apply subject to the transitional provisions outlined below: occupation list requirements will not apply the age requirement will remain at less than 50 years of age with existing age exemptions still available, and the minimum period an applicant is required to have been employed in their nominated occupation as the holder of a subclass 457 or TSS visa will remain at two years. Therefore, if they meet the above criteria, they should be able to apply for the 186 either DE or TRT (f they have worked for the same company in the nominated 457 occupation for the previous 2 years). My nominated occupation is also on the STSOL but I held my 457 Visa before 18 April 2017.
  6. Good on you for replying. I reckon you were biting your tongue and re-wrote the post a few times before clicking submit. I cannot fathom why a percentage of people are attempting to abuse the system which causes unneeded stress for genuine applicants and causes delays in processing times. It is extremely selfish.
  7. Thanks, I've been in Australia over 5 1/2 years now so you'd think they have some good history on me already..hah. Anyhow, in terms of the Form 80, should the dates of international travel be up to the point of visa submission, I plan on heading on an International flight soon and unsure whether I should wait until that is completed to fill in the Form 80 or submit the Form 80 with all my travel dates as of time of lodgement? Lodged my application in June 2018. Thanks in advance.
  8. Unsure if this has been answered before. When the global processing times update monthly, does this reflect the number of months to process an application that was lodged on that day or from when the application was first lodged? If that doesn't make sense, let me use an example: If the application is submitted on 1-JAN-2018 and the processing times are 6-9 months (I wish) then you'd expect a grant around JUL or OCT (hypothetically of course) Then on 21-NOV-2018 the processing times are 12-18 months, does this mean that is 12-18 months further from today or 12-18 months from 1-JAN-2018? Probably a big unknown with Immi, but thought I'd ask.
  9. @BB86 - you're only 2 numbers in front of me in username. Let's hope we are both favourable on our visa's sometime soon! I've only been waiting since June 2018 on TRT and that is long enough for me already..hah!
  10. Couldn't agree more. It has increased every month since I applied. The fact that it isn't guaranteed to be approved adds to the stress, if it was a shorter processing time it would be more palatable whilst waiting for the decision. Out of our hands I suppose though and all we can do is wait and hope the decision is favourable.
  11. Currently on a 457 Visa which was granted March 2015 until March 2019. I transferred to a new company on my 457 as of June 2016. Given the recent changes to the 186 visa TRT stream, I am assuming I would still be eligible? https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/work/newsletters/march-2018 I held my 457 visa before 18 April 2017, so the changes to the occupation list shouldn't apply and I have been in my current role for >2 years now. I just wanted to validate the above is correct for the TRT stream before applying. Any help greatly appreciated.
  12. As long as they are a registered business sponsor and your visa is valid, they would just pay the nomination fee. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Transfer 457

    Thanks for your reply. What about serving my notice at my current employer. Do I serve my notice before the nomination has transferred or do I serve my notice after the nomination has transferred? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Transfer 457

    Hello Maggie, Thanks for your response. No, I will be moving from Company A to Company B. My girlfriend will remain defacto on my 457. Company B will lodge the nomination. Company A doesn't have to do anything? I just need to notify Company A of my intentions?

    Transfer 457

    Does Company A have to do anything when Company B nominates my secondary applicant [defacto] and I to transfer the 457 to them? Does Company A have to contact immigration and/or will Company A be notified by immigration when Company B lodge a nomination?
  16. Hello Raul, Thanks for your response. Yes she is currently valid as a defacto on the subclass 457 visa. When I leave my current company who I am sponsored with and the nomination for the new company begins, she can still continue to work? Can she work during the transition time from Company A to Company B?
  17. Background Sponsored on a 457 with my girlfriend as a defacto Want to change to a new employer who is already a business sponsor and is happy to nominate Girlfriend is currently employed Question Can my Girlfriend continue to work [in her current job] once the nomination process has started for the new employer or does she have to cease working the same time I do and cannot commence working again until the nomination for the new company has been approved?
  18. It'll say what additional information they require. Check correspondence.
  19. They're lying. You just need the TRN number. Getting the TRN may be difficult if they don't provide this to you. You just create a free immi account and add the TRN to your log in.
  20. Added a subsequent entrant (defacto) to my 457. Took 13 days from lodgement to grant.
  21. Out of interest. What have you submitted for the defacto, evidence wise?
