Posting for a friend, His sponsor (transitions stream) has said he has submitted the application in August of this year. The MA said it was likely that he may only get the grant in April of 2017.

The sponsor said he does not want to wait that long and will advertise the position again locally even though the application has been submitted.

My question is if the visa application is in, and the employers business is still operating as per normal, even though the job may not still be available (if the sponsor does find someone locally) can the application still be approved?

Then 2nd question, under the RSMS 187, if you loose your job, do you still retain your visa and right to live and work in the country?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi All

It is my understanding that under the skills select visa system for a 190 that actual work experience is not required, am I correct in assuming this?

If you have a qualification from a Uni that is directly related to a category on the SOL and as long as you get the correct number of points for a EOI should this do?

Some one I know has submitted their docs to VETASSESS to have the skills assessment completed but VETASSESS are asking for CV info and info related to the last 5 years of work. I understand that one can get points for years of work completed in the field post completion of qualification but has anyone had a positive skills assessment from VETASSESS directly after completing the qualification?

Thanks i advance for any help

I know someone who is in a spot of bother and its not a simple case.

The sponsor has been issued with a 175 visa that has been activated but the couple are still in the UK and have not made the actual move to Aus. In the mean time the couple have applied for a de facto visa (309/100) and have been waiting for this to be issued before together making the actual move. A CO has been assigned and they are in the final parts of (what looks like) the 309 to be granted, I.E. medicals and police clearance requested and completed.

However lets just say after 5 years there is now trouble in paradise, both do still want to move to Aus but it looks like the relationship may terminate. The sponsored individual has a qualification and is likely to be able to achieve the required points that could likely result in a 190 visa being issued.

Questions,

1) if the couple move to Aus but somewhat independently after getting the 309 visa is this already a major problem that could cause issues? realistically would anyone look into this?

2) if a EOI is lodged and an invite granted would the new CO not start to look into the 309 visa and could this cause problems?

The person wants to get to Aus as soon as they can but it would be silly to ruin possible chances of getting the 190 so all advice would be helpful.
