Hey guys Just curious to know about job paper advertisement.Is there any time period thing i.e job advertisement has to be in paper for atleast month or more??

Hi everyone just wanna let you know I rang diac to confirm if there's two years work experience requirement to be eligible for RSMS.So the ans. is NO it's all just rumors at this stage.Cheers!!!

Nah mate got only 1404 form nothing else.

Cheers mate.. atleast RCB told you why they were not satisfied but in my case they said nothing if u don't mind I'm keen to know which RCB and what trade you work in?

Yup 321211 motor mechanic general

To apply for state sponsership i think I need to score 60 points but i can't m bit short in points

Yup I have full skill assessment and have also done job ready program through trade recognition Australia

I was told it all depend on co i still applied decision ready because it was told by diac that still my workplace will get one chance to clear/prove if in case co needs more documents but anyhow i m still trying my best to chase the reason of -ve outcome if anyone out there can help me with what else can be done please reply,will be much appreciated.Thanx

My ma is helpless said can't do anything about it coz RCB is independent body so i rang DIAC and they gave one fax no. Telling ask my manager to fax your concern and DIAC will get back soon to employer it's been like more than two weeks since we faxed the concern but still heard nothing..is there anything tha can be done to chase (-ve)reason

Hello NGP yea that's what catching my attention if it is unannounced then how they can put in effect even i apied on 30th may 2013 & my ma told me nothing about it even though they say it was in effect from 15 th may?? Confused

As i have already told you guys my RCB was not even cleared & worst part theyvdidn't even told reason for being unsuccessful my manager & ma both tried to chase the reason but no luck but anyhow coz i had positive thought so i applied visa application but still I m trying to chase the reason and still getting no were..

I work as motor mechanic in Toyota delearship & i got my Tra assessed for that i had already worked 900 hrs as a trainee motor mechanic nd now m wrking as full time from last 23 months(excluding 900 hrs)because i was not aware of this policy change i lodged my visa application on 30th may this year so now m worried should i withdraw my case nd will i get my visa fees back or just let it go?

Yea I had already checked that link its some dlegal website which is not DIAC's website and they also referred to check on comm law website which has got no information aswell so i don't know from where they got this info.

But blossom i have been going through DIAC website from last couple of weeks but i couldn't find anything related to RSMS policy change so from were you guys got this info??

Hey Ryan two year work experience has to be paid or volunteer and paid both are counted

Thanx for replying blossom Since when was this policy in effect because i applied for rsms on 30th may :wacko:and two year work experience can be volunteer or it has to be full time paid

Hello everyone is their any recent policy changes (work experience etc.)regarding RSMS visa (187 Subclass) Read this article: There has been an unannounced change of policy in PAM3 since 15 May 2013 which Members may not be aware of. Schedule 2 of Subclass 187 states [187.234©] that [if an applicant has an Australian qualification]... "the applicant had the qualifications listed in ANZSCO as being necessary to perform the tasks of the occupation." For the occupation of Cook, for example, ANZSCO says: Unit Group 3514 Cooks Most occupations in this unit group have a level of skill commensurate with the qualifications and experience outlined below. In Australia: AQF Certificate III including at least two years of on-the-job training, or AQF Certificate IV (ANZSCO Skill Level 3) DIAC policy [PAM3 Subclass 187] now says that an applicant with a Certificate IV can only count that if the Certificate IV had two years work experience embedded, or if the person has two years post qualification experience. [30.2 AQF Certificate III, IV and Diploma qualifications] This would seem to be above and beyond the legislative requirements, and above and beyond TRA skills assessment requirements. This matter will be discussed with DIAC at a meeting this week.

Thanks for your reply guys really appreciate,so what can be the options and can I also apply for state sponsership as a backup.

Yup everything was done,RCB said we neither refuse nor approve its just advice (opinion)that was asked by DIAC.so we have deal with DIAC and now I don't know what should I do now so stressed

Thanx heaps for your reply,yea its geelong (Victoria) rcb i work as motor mechanic in Toyota dealership and pretty much my agent had provided all the documents but in result my agent just got bck 1404 form says not satisfies no reason no other letter so my agent & manager both rang RCB to know the reason it ws bumped back but they said sorry can't share any info. You have to apply for nomination and then case-officer will hopefully tell us..so I have got no option rather then moving forward.Does it happen if RCB given negative advise nomination still get approved?

Hi everyone Here's my situation i had applied for RCB and got negative reply by saying doesn't satisfied,haven't got told any reason that why it was negative now my question is if it is still safe to lodge nomination and visa application & if not what's risk factor? Please give your suggestions will be appreciated.Thanks
