It is not a matter of telling the truth, it is a matter of satisfying officers that you were telling the truth and the truth you and others were telling satisfies the decision maker that the applicable regulations were satisfied.

iam genuinely working in the same business as a store manager from past 3 years,just heard from some people that sometimes if the owner is working or visiting the business occasionally then immi might say that owner is managing the business?

If you've told the truth & everything to do with the business (& the owner) is perfectly legal & in order then why would you worry?

what iam worried is if the owner himself working in the business does he need a manager?? as my owner has no idea about running the business or managing the business,just worried that immigration might say that owner is working in the business therefore no manager required??

but in my case the co worker did mention to them about me and my role but only flaw i felt was he mentioned that owner also working,

does this could be a potential threat for the application

I've not heard of Immigration Officers visiting the workplace either - I am a bit confused, are you currently residing in Australia, the UK or elsewhere? I am surprised if you are outside of Australia DIBP would have the resources to make site visits. It doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about, if you are the Stores Manager and the employee said that then it supports your application. There is no reason why an owner is considered the manager, that's not the case in many businesses - the owner makes the investment it doesn't mean they have the skills to run the business.

Do you have a visa to work?

No, it isn't common at all. Yours is the first case I've seen on the forums for about two years. It seems to happen if immigration are not quite convinced about an application. From what your co worker told them it sounds like you should be fine though.

Thanks blossom,

but my co worker said that owner also working in the store so only worried about this

Nobody can advise you. What do you want advising on? You just have to wait.

hi blossom

i appreciate for ur post, i asked for advise i.e did anyone came across same situation? or is it common for the immi to visit the work place?

Hello Everyone,

Firstly

I have applied for rsms as Store Manager have been working in the same role for last 3 yrs.

Nomination and Visa applied on 07/08/14

Did not receive any updates so far,but yesterday cpl of immi officers have visited the work place around 7.30 in the evening and they started questioing one of my staff(new staff started 3 months ago) they have asked him the following :

Role of Manager

Role of owner

Employee details etc.

The staff said that i am the manager and i run the busieness, and said that owner also works in the afternoons,infact the owner was here only to cover cpl of hours of shift as one the staff was sick and she doesnt work.

When i have informed all this to my migration agent he said that he cant really say anything about it as i still did not have a cade officer,

Can anyone advise on this?

I agree. It would certainly make sense if DIAC an the ATO were to collaborate and have a branch than cross checks information to ensure that visa applicants are complying with the conditions of their visas. I suppose at this point in time DIAC would not know if you weren't working for your sponsored employer within the 2 year period, unless they were informed by someone. But if you spend so much time, effort and money to get your permanent residency, would people really be willing to risk it and potentially jeopardise their PR? I reckon there's a slim chance that DIAC would cancel/revoke a visa, but if there is grounds to do so because an applicant did not comply with their visa conditions, the applicant wouldn't have a leg to stand on. I wouldn't risk it. As blossom79 has mentioned before, once you have your visa and have done everything in your power to stay in that position ... well that is a different situation. I'm actually shocked to see that there have been numerous people on here who have posted something to the effect of their employer wants to close the business either before or after the applicant has received their PR. What a terrible situation to be in. But for those who have received their PR and they are in that situation, I think probably the best way is to find a similar job in regional Australia and put in your 2 years. It's 2 years - not the rest of your life. It's a small sacrifice and once you've completed the two years you're free to do what you want. That's my opinion!\

 

mrbangarom - in your situation, I really don't think you're far off from having a CO allocated and your file processed. They are getting through June applicants. It would be best to sit down with your employer and have a reasonable and civil conversation with them. Let them know that by closing the business prior to your visa being granted will result in your application being unsuccessful and you will not get your permanent residency. I would think that after putting in 4 years of service with them that would mean something. And if they were willing to sponsor you, they obviously valued you as an employee. Make sure they understand the time, effort and money you have put into your application and that it is unfair to you that they withdrawal from their commitment to you before the visa is processed and when you are so close. Did you use a migration agent or did your employer lodge the application? You certainly have a right at this stage to start making enquiries with DIAC as it is way outside the service standard processing times. Good luck mate.

Thanks for ur valuable advice.fyi iam using a ma

If this happens you have done everything in your power to stay in the job, so you would be fine as long as you find another job in the same field in regional Australia. However, as coolsurdian1 found out this week, if immigration find out before hand then they won't issue the visa.

Thanks so much blossom

Request your employer if he can keep open until decision and try to find another job in same region.

So blossom after my pr approval if my employers closes down the business wat can i do??

Hi blossom

I have applied rsms 119 on june 28 2012.still no co.nw my employer is saying he might close down the business.

I have been working for the company for last 4 years.

Can you please suggest wat can i do??

@ mrbangaram, that sounds like a nightmare. It also sounds like your agent isn't always working in your best interest.

I had to re apply rcb in april end 2012 and apllied rsms 119 on 28 june 2012.

Welcome to poms in oz. :-)

 

Why did they ask you to withdraw your original application?

Please check my post blossom

Hi blossom,

My ma agent has applied my visa as 119 in october 2011 and in december 2011 they went holidays for 2 months,in january 2012 i recived a call from immi saying that they were unable to reach my ma,said that there is a increase in visa fees from jan2012 therefore they need my authorisation to debit my card.now they have charged me for onshore application fees.in mid feb2012 co was allocated and my ma was back from holidays,co advised my ma to withdraw application as its not possible for them to process the application but my my refused to withdraw application saying that it was diac mistake and in april 2012 co told that the position which was nominated is not suitable to business and therefore said that we have to withdraw application or else she will refuse the visa
