Hi mate don't worry just try to collect as much as evidence you can to support your 900 hrs experience being Sep 2009 FS applicant you got enough time to do that ....processing for FS visa in cat 5 very slow at the moment

Hi Spectre thanks for your concern mate Nomination+visa 02/03/12 CO 25/06/12 NO FURTHER INFO REQUIRED EMPLOYER'S TELEPHONIC INTERVIEW 20/07/12 since then haven't heard anything yet mate ..no idea what's going on

Congratulations mate What is your occupation?

hi mate depend on what visa is it?? if its permanent visa then nothing much can be done about it..

congratulations mate what is your occupation?

i am not sure about july changes but heard that you have to have cert IV or cert III + job ready skill assessment but before july changes experience and skill assessment was never required for RSMS

You should seek registered migration agent advice as soon as possible

congratulations veenameena u waited for so long

its depends in what group ur occupation fall in if its considered skill level 3 and not a trade qualification then it would be considered a cert III level position only ...its POSITION which is considered diploma level or cert III LEVEL not ur qualification for example ...ur a cook and u have bachelor degree in cooking but ur position cook is a skill level 3 and required cert III only therefore ur bachelor degree isnt considered for RSMS

immi cant turn down visa as long as u have trade qualification ...for example "cook is a skill level 3 position and doesn't required a diploma its only required cert III " if its not a trade position yes then u required to have diploma and position has to be diploma level for example MANAGER required diploma and skill level 2 position there must be other reason fro turning visa down may be the position isn't trade position ...like community welfare workers ..its a certIII POSITION but it isnt a trade position http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/rsms/how-the-visa-works.htm#c

Cert III is sufficient to be eligible for RSMS as cook fall into major group 3 trade workers therefore application may be approved under exceptional appointment without further submission..( it is exceptional appointment but applicants doesn't have to prove it that's why it says "without further submission") Guys its cert III ( COMMERCIAL COOKERY) which make you qualified cook. Diploma isn't required to be cook

I have been here for 5.8 years but still not permanent..I can't blame anyone else for.that its not ppl we should blame for changing law DIAC does that and they are stupid enough to wait for ppl to abuse the system and then change the law ..why they rely on ppl honesty instead making law at first time that works we all know Australia is popular country among migrants so ppl don't delay and wait for others to apply first ...my friend and I arrived in same time to oz I has got his PR 2 YEARS back as he did master in accounting but I am still struggling I can't blame him for that

Ur MA is idiot enough to make comment like that ...how and what ground immi will refuse thousands of applications they can't do it just to reduce nlumbers ..if application doesn't meet requirement only then it can be refused.immi definitely don't want ppl ending up in tribunals and court demanding compensation...its not bacz application numbers going higher its becaz of ppl each application have some of applications have 5 or more ppl including main applicant and family members

agree with you mate

mate its always good to have an aussie licence ..once u have licence dont have to carry ur passport all the time and some of the jobs only you can apply with aussie licence

there is nothing like that i used my Indian licence for two years during my student visa have a look... Driving in Australia on an Overseas Driver's Licence Overseas drivers visiting Australia, who do not hold a permanent visa, will be regarded as 'visiting drivers' and can use their valid overseas licence to drive. Most Australian states and territories (the exception being the Northern Territory) allow visiting drivers to drive indefinitely on their overseas licence as long as it is current. It is only when there is a change in visa/citizenship status or the overseas licence expires that an overseas driver is required to take out an Australian issued driver licence. In the Northern Territory a person is required to obtain a Northern Territory issued driver's licence after three months or apply to be granting an exemption from holding a local licence if they wish to continue to drive. It is important to remember that a person can only drive vehicles which their overseas licence authorises them to drive and they must drive according to any conditions on their overseas licence. Please be aware that a person who is driving in Australia must carry the overseas licence with them at all times whilst driving along with either an International driving permit OR an English translation if the overseas licence is not written in English. A person who is entering Australia on a permanent visa or is a permanent resident may drive on their current overseas licence for a maximum of three months after arriving in Australia. If they wish to continue to drive after three months, an Australian issued driver's licence must be obtained in the jurisdiction in which the person is residing.

Hi veenameena try to extend your student visa being offshore you won't be able to appeal in case if you get negative decision on Ur application

Yes you are right I think I was surprised when I received hand written ENS acknowledgement for an RSMS application I had to take it to immi counter for correction as Medicare refuse to accept it then I received RSMS computerised acknowledgment

yes you are right i just find out he was refused onshore 485 A person who does not hold a substantive visa (a visa that is not a Bridging visa or a Criminal Justice visa) and has had a visa refused or cancelled since their last entry to Australia is prevented by section 48 of the Migration Act from applying for another visa while in Australia, except for certain prescribed visa classes. From 14 September 2009, these people may now be eligible to apply for a Partner visa in Australia if they meet certain criteria. They must not have had a visa cancelled or refused on character grounds or have had a Partner visa refused since their last entry to Australia, and they must provide with their application:

This application has been declared invalid because application was onshore at the time of lodement under sec 48 that's all I know at this time when I have more info I will post it here

one of my MA's client application was declared "invalid" just because he was onshore at the time of lodgement 119 DIAC declared Invalid under section 48

Hi there it depends in which centre you lodged application ,,,some centres do mention about DRC.( perth does i guess) ,,i lodgC ed in parramatta they dont mention anything about DRCin ack letter

should be the date DIAC received your application

congratulations mate good to hear that:biggrin:

thanx veenameena i will let my friend know that....it was an unannounced visit from immi
