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?

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

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

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 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

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

agree with you it is strange ....my friend he was in college that day as he is on student visa atm ....other girl taken sick leave so its pretty much bad luck for him i would say...

hairdresser ....had cert III and diploma,, was approved by RCB

he applied at parramatta in mid may (DRC) got refused on friday

in this case if i were you i would extend my student visa ..worst come to worst if they turn you down. being offshore you wouldn't be able to appeal

i dont think they are targeting particular area.. ppl getting visits everywhere like surflen22 in perth ,veenameena in vic , i am in nsw

it went well with RCB they took little bit long to approve it due to Xmas holidays but the officer was complaining that they are getting too many applications now days when my employer went to see him regarding my application ...

sorry mate here i am talking about my case not my friend

u don't have to for RSMS but its plus point to have it

yes its operating according to mentioned hours ,in fact it was open when immi ppl went there but they couldn't meet my employer therefore they conducted an telephonic interview of my employer

forester area but i havent commenced employment yet

i dont know why there are a lot of checking in central coast area ??u know more about it so i can let my friend know it might help him...i dont think there was anything suspicious about his case ,,was pretty simple ,,the only problem is that when immi went for visit shop wasnt open....and i am in forester area
