Hi guys,

Great news for me today, visa application has been approved! Here's my timeline:

186 Direct Entry from 457, UK citizen

Nomination Lodged 21 October 2014

Nomination Granted 7 March 2015

Application Lodged 19 March 2015

Application Granted 22 June 2015.

Time for visa approval: 96 days (visa lodged after nomination was granted)

NSW Processing Centre

Good luck everyone!

Hi, I am trying to assist my company in putting together the paperwork for a 186 nomination. We have a few questions about meeting Training Benchmark B.

1) I gather that expenditure will not count if the training is only undertaken by persons who are principals in the business or their family members. Do you think this would apply to Governance training for the Board of Directors?

2) Would an in-house multi-day Leadership training course be deemed too broad or do you think we could include it if we could demonstrate the learning outcomes/progress requirements?

Looks like I may need the help of Agent but would appreciate any initial guidance!
