14 nov 2014 both applied and nom approval on 29th of April.

I called Immigration today and had chat with a very nice gentleman over the phone, who called team 7 while i was on the phone. And he told me that usually now it takes 5-6months for your visa to get approved after nomination. And he also told me that there is a very strict checking going on now a days. And after calling Team 7. He told me that CO dont reply to my email coz i got a MA appointed and they should always contact them not me. And they also told me to send an email through my MA with Urgent written in the subject box for team 7. After that they may finalize the case quickly.

I am waiting from Nov 2014..

If i am that wrong then IMMI should have deported me back a long time ago coz in my form 80 i have disclosed everything that with how many employers i have worked while i was on my 475 visa, there business names were disclosed as well. They already know everything. Before you speak something, go and investigate on it and have a better understanding of things.

Department of Immigration and Citizenship https://www.ato.gov.au/General/How-we-check-compliance/In-detail/Data-matching/Data-exchanges/Our-data-exchanges-with-other-Australian-government-agencies/ Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) onshore compliance staff request address information for individuals who have been classified as 'illegal non-citizens', to assist in locating them. DIAC provides name and date of birth details to us and we use this to retrieve address details. We are authorised to communicate information to DIAC for the purpose of assisting in locating persons who are unlawfully in Australia, under Item 3 in Table 7 in subsection 355-65 of Schedule 1 to the TAA. Some specific information about persons who are visa holders or sponsors can also be disclosed to DIAC for the specific purposes set out in table item 4 in the same table. So if they both are linked then why IMMI cant check these kinda stuff them self by just going into the ATO database them self?? And they are authorized to communicate...

This is the real information straight from the ATO website Commissioner of Taxation NOTICE OF A DATA MATCHING PROGRAM The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will request and collect names and addresses and other details of visa holders of Visa Subclasses 406, 410, 411, 415, 416, 417, 418, 419, 420, 421, 422, 423, 424, 426, 427, 428, 442, 457, 462, 570, 571, 572, 573, 574, 575, 576, 580 between the period 01/01/2012 and 30/6/2014 inclusive from the Department of Immigration and Citizenship for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 income years. These will be electronically matched and analysed with certain sections of ATO data holdings to identify potential fraud, and other non compliance with lodgment and payment obligations under taxation law. Records relating to approximately 1,000,000 individuals who were granted visas under the above subclasses will be matched. The ATO may also provide information to assist the Department of Immigration and Citizenship to maintain the integrity of the student and temporary working visa programs. The ATO is legally able to provide this information. This program is called the Department of Immigration and Citizenship Temporary Working Visas Data Matching Program and it enables the ATO: · to improve existing risk detection models and treatment systems · to identify potentially new or widespread refund fraud methodologies and those entities controlling or exploiting those methodologies · to investigate and take steps to mitigate threats of non-compliance and fraud; and · to develop and implement administrative strategies to improve voluntary compliance and address the identified risks posed by temporary working visa holders and employer sponsors. A document describing this program has been prepared in consultation with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. A copy of this document is available from: Special Purpose Data Steward Australian Taxation Office PO Box 9977 Civic Square ACT 2608 Attention: Nigel Coldrick Reference: Department of Immigration and Citizenship Temporary Working Visas Data Matching Program

Legislation aimed at protecting the rights of temporary overseas workers and to ensure Australian wages and conditions are not undermined is now being utilised. A key part of these laws is that they enable the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to disclose information to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. The following taken from a couple of media sources - but not ATO or DIAC directly The Australian Taxation Office (ATO), are now to commence a data-matching exercise expected to weed out potential fraud and other breaches. The ATO have said they will be provided with personal details across 27 different types of visa by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), including working holiday makers, skilled workers, students and diplomatic staff. The 27 visa subclasses are: 406, 410, 411, 415, 416, 417, 418, 419, 420, 421, 422, 423, 424, 426, 427, 428, 442, 457, 462, 570, 571, 572, 573, 574, 575, 576 and 580. Details collected "will be electronically matched and analysed with certain sections of ATO data holdings to identify potential fraud, and other non-compliance with lodgment and payment obligations under taxation law", ATO stated. Information will include place of study for student visa holders, details of migration agents, overseas travel movements, and whether immigration visas remain valid. The program will check that tax returns and business activity statements are being correctly completed by company sponsors and the visa holders, indicating they are meeting obligations set out in the visa conditions. People found to be breaching conditions will be sent a letter and given 28 days to resolve any discrepancies - after which the ATO will take administrative action. The agency said it will be sharing any information regarding visa holders not following the rules with the DIAC, which could result in visa cancellation and removal from Australia

If they give there decision based on this form then they should not ask or check my history and straight away give people there visas based from this site. My name doesnt matter coz literally havent done anything illegal or to breach any of my visa conditions. But if they really give there decision little bit based on a public form then they are stupid. And they people who believe the same are the followers.

I havent done anything illegal so i am not afraid. I changed my employer yes. But at the same time i applied for my my new visa with the Immigration. So they know all my story already. The only thing i regret that i spent atleast $35000 with my applications. Coz so many employers and so many applications. Most of the employer they just dont care about you and make you work like slaves. I even DOB one of my employer to ATO and FAIRWORKS, for paying me less and working continuous without break for 16hrs a day. For me finding a new employer was very easy so i always informed the IMMI about my situation. Before my this RSMS application i applied my previous application and i was literally 1 or 2 weeks in getting my PR, but i told the immigration that i want to withdraw my appliaction coz i dont like the employer. This is my second time on RSMS. So my fake name or real name doesnt matter coz they are not going to give me my decision based on some public forum. So chill out!!!

Sorry i forgot to write in my previous message that if he finds a sponsor then try to lodge his file asap but till then doesnt need to tell anyone otherwise he have to leave the country after 90days or apply for some other visa. Do you know that no public or government authorities can check on your personal details without your consent in Australia. Even a cop needs to ask for your consent if he want to search your content. So how can they check on your ATO account without your permission? You can go to ATo.gov.au and can link whatever account with ATO which are there on there website. I also got my account over there and linked Centerlink and Medicare with my ATO account. Nothing else.

this is the real worlds advice to save his ass. I am not doing anything illegal here. IMMI database in not linked to any database otherwise all the kids here on student visa will have to go back within a month entering here as they all work more then 40hrs/week. BTW i am on my bridging visa right now. My 457 visa time has gone. I just gave him the advice, its his wish to take it or not. Thats why is a public forum.

Hey Rebbecca, Dont stress out too much. When i filled my form 80 i just wrote what ever i remembered and stretched all the dates so that there are no gaps in between. Thats the best you can do. And with the address do the same. Just write the address which ever you remember and stretched the dates of the address which you remembered to cover the time you stayed at the place which you doesnt remember. Thats the best you can do!! Hope it helps.

Hey, I was on 457 visa for a year. After few months with him i left becoz he was a D**K. And started working with a employer who was not even approved. Its just that if you still got some time left on your 457 visa, the best thing is to search for a new sponsor and dont tell IMMI about it. All the MA will tell you everything according to law and will scare you alot. But till the time IMMI doesnt know that you left and your employer doesnt complaint then you are safe. Just find the right employer and try to get sponsor somewhere else. And tell your MA to shut the F**k up and dont tell IMMI anything till you put your new file in. I changed 3 employers on my 457 and now lodged RSMS while i was on 457. Hopefully you will be alright!!

Hey mate, It also depends from which country your cousin is coming from and for which visa 572 or 573 etc. coz there are different rules and regulations for who can show funds. Other than that it doesn't matter which visa you are on, you can sponsor anyone if you got the money.

Thanks mate..i am just wondering coz i applied for my nomination in Nov, so if the October files are being processed now that means my turn is not that far..
