Thanks Peach, I guess that ‘overwriting’ is what I was worried about, but at fairly short notice I think it’s my only option for a quick travel visa. Will have to consult with an agent to get a definitive answer.

Hi all, I’m back here again after a loooooong hiatus, I was a moderator on here for a while. I applied for and was granted a 189 Skilled Visa in 2015, I activated the visa before returning to the UK. For various complicated reasons I was unable to return to Australia and instead remained in the UK. Obviously my 189 has expired now, I’m aware that there’s a chance I could apply for an RRV, but before all that I may need to travel to Australia for an interview in the next couple of weeks. I have an old drink driving conviction when I was stupid teenager so I’m aware that I can’t apply for an eVisitor, but presume I can travel on a 600 visitor visa, but wonder if this will/can affect further visa applications? Or am I overthinking it?

Hi CaptainC,
I would really appreciate if you can please let me know an approximate time frame when I can expect my invitation for EOI submitted on 12/08/2016 for Systems Analyst?
The recent 26th July 2017 round, all 75's were invited up until the 17/7. There is a huge back log of 70's starting from 24/3/2017. I am a bit worried if I have to rewrite PTE to up my points or wait for few more months until they finish inviting 70's and then invite 65's which is where I stand on.
Regards,
Imran

It's not on the OSAP list so you must apply through the TRA MSA programme. Here's the link to the applicant guide >>> http://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au/Programs/Migration/Documents/33.%20TRA%20MSA%20Applicant%20Guidelines%20V9.0.pdf

I'm not quite sure that I understand your query. But if I am reading it correctly, you aren't a NZ citizen? If you wish to apply for a CoR to recognise your NZ ticket then you would just go about it the same way as if it was any other foreign certificate. AMSA won't issue this unless you have permanent residency or Temporary residency with work rights, or be a NZ Citizen. You can make all of the arrangements to apply for a CoR, but you will not receive this until you prove that you've been granted a visa.

Well done!

<p><p>Hey Captainc,</p></p>
<p><p> </p></p>
<p><p>i recieved a positive skills skills assessment from AMSA and I have a query regarding work experience they allocated me the time spent as a watchkeeper even tho I held no formal qualification for it. From you experience on talking to people on this forum. I have included that experience in my EOI. On submission of my 189 application will this raise any issues with the DIPB???</p></p>
<p><p> </p></p>
<p><p>your thoughts would be very much appreciated. This has caused me a great deal of anxiety </p></p>

I don't know for certain but I did hear that occupations can be removed at any time. Likewise the visa applications can be suspended or removed entirely. We have to remember that emigration is a privilege and not a right. The commonwealth have the power to close the borders completely to new arrivals should they so wish. The minister for immigration proved this recently by cancelling several thousand applications for certain visas, leaving a lot of people without any hope of obtaining a visa. I'm trying not to overdramatise things, but it's been done before and it's a real possibility that it could be done again. The shipping industry in Australia is all but destroyed, and there are only 14 ships currently operating under the Australian flag. It's really dire, and Australian seafarers are suffering a lot.

Please email admin@pomsinoz.com to change username. Provide at least three alternatives to change it to, in case your first choice is already taken.

Thanks for that!! I definitely will.

Firstly I would strongly suggest that you report your agent to OMARA, explaining the problem that you've had and that you think that they may have been negligent. If you send a sob story to DIBP it will likely fall on deaf ears. But, if you have an outcome from OMARA that your agent was negligent, then you can seek some recourse to your fee from the agent. Go to http://www.mara.gov.au and have a look.

I can't offer any advice really. It is up to you if you think that you can do it.

IMPORTANT NEWS I've just found this document that was submitted to have Ship's Engineer removed from the SOL. https://submissions.education.gov.au/forms/archive/2015_16_sol/documents/Australian%20Institute%20of%20Marine%20and%20Power%20Engineers.pdf Because Ship's Engineer falls into the Marine Transport Professionals (2312 code), and a pretty compelling case has been presented. We can also assume that Ship's Master and Ship's Officer would also be removed from the Skilled Occupation List. I don't know when this will be, or even if it will actually happen, but with the recent press coverage of the plight of the Australian Seafarers aboard MV Portland, there's a strong possibility that it will happen and also possible that it will be this year (1st July 2016). Anybody who is near to the point of submitting an EOI, or who is invited and still to submit their application, I would recommend that they get their applications in quickly. Any applications received after an occupation is removed will not be processed, and you will not be issued a visa. If it does get removed, then it is likely to be 5-10 years before it is back on the list again.
