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..

Hey, Just want to know if there is anyone here who applied for there nomination in October or November 2014 and got any reply regarding that from DIBP? Thanks!

Hey aqlotz21, Nice work mate!! My timeline for 187 from state of QLD: RCB, Nomination and Visa lodged on the same date 14 Nov 2014. RCB got approved on 20 Nov 2014 Still waiting for nomination and visa.

They got a restaurant in the pub and i am chef in it... And i am getting paid as a skill level 2...RCB got approved that they are in need of a chef or a cook here in this pub as most of the backpackers are not reliable they just leave without even giving notice...This is not the first time i am applying for my RSMS...coz most of the ppl wants to pay you low wages...but this time i agreed for it...my file is already in and not a single document is missing from it...i got many years of experience in kitchen and pub... the thing is that my boss is very doggy, he just want to get rich in no time so he he very selfish as well... he is not very kind with the customers as well... I had a chat with my agent as well about it..he told me that A to Z documents are uploaded, i just have to work till i get my residency and after that...its just that when i came here he was in desperate need of some1 so he sponsored me and now after the busy period he changed...so i am changing as well according to him...there is a saying every dog has its days..

My boss is happy to employ me on cheap wages and i am 50% sure that i will get my case officer in Feb or March...now its just a matter or getting residency. Then i will atleast have a strong case against him so that i can leave...hope for the best and just keep trying...till now i have met 3 employers and i cant even say that even a single employer is genuine...Its sad that ppl dont care about other people they just think about thereself...

Sorry, i was telling my whole kinda research which i got from different agents sites and was asking some professional suggestion into it. And my food and accommodation is free.

Imagine what happened today..my boss just gave me a dismissal notice coz after the busy period of christmas its going to be quiet so cant afford me. Coz all the F**ing backpackers can do any job in the world for cheap. So i asked him to pay me less. And he agreed. His excuses were that I am not good for the business and he is getting know that after few months when the busy christmas period finish. Let him pay me less for 2 months then i think i will get my residency in Feb and then i will have more strong case against him and will be easy to leave. And then will lodge a complaint at Fair Works as well. And suggestions from you what i can do if he gets rid of me before i get my residency??

I have been working in a pub in regional Queensland. My work is pretty simply and easy, but when it comes to working hour i officially work from 10am till 9:30 or 10pm at night for 6days with no officially breaks coz my boss says that we are not really busy so you can sit and relax when on customer is here but as soon as i go for rest in that so called break time customer just pops in and i have to serve them. Means if i want to have a mid day nap or i am tired, he can come anytime knock on my door for work. Is it legal? As i was reading the Fair Works conditions you can say No to your employer if he ask you to work more then 8hrs a day when you are full time. And you need to have 1 20mins paid break and 1 30mins unpaid lunch break. With me I am working 10 or more hours everyday for 6days, i know that this is illegal. I am not doing anything coz i still have'nt got my visa granted, after that i will write my conditions which i think are not correct and if will agree then i will stay of otherwise i will send him an email saying that why i am leaving, so that i will have a proof that i have already had a chat on the issues. It wont be doing anything wrong because he is the one who is doing everything wrong according to the agreement which both of us signed. So you can tell him that you are going to have a chat with Fair Work about it and going to give him 2weeks notice. In a way you will scare him coz a employer can get minimum of $10,200 - $50,sumthing fine. And most of the people dont even know that RSMS can even be cancelled. It wont be cancelled till the time your employer wont complaint himself and i dont think so most of the employer knows about it. But make sure when you give your employer notice, give it a written notice with all the issues you got with him through email. Coz after getting residency immi. dont even look for the person that if he is still working on that particular position. And make sure when you leave you write all the dates and days you have worked more then 40hrs/week, and not got paid penalty rates, that goes for people going 10 extra hours or more for free. Employer cant make you work more then what is there in the agreement but 3-4 hrs are alright. Before leaving make sure that boss should know all the reasonable ground you are leaving. And it should be his fault not yours. And i am pretty sure after you will leave he wont complaint coz he would be in fault not you!!! Happy days!!:smile:

I also applied for my 187 from Townsville, QLD. My RCB got approved on the same day got my case officer in 3months but then i thought i dont want to stay at this job, so i quit and changed my employer and applied again where my RCB got approved in 4 days. And i am hopping that i should get my residency within 3-4months time. Queensland is pretty fast in granting any regional sponsored visa's. Tell from my friends experience and the last time i got my CO allotted to me. To make your process fast when applying your RSMS, make sure you do your medical before lodging your visa. And you apply for all 3 stages RCB, Nomination and application on the same day, if you are confident enough. Hire a good migration agent and submit all the paper which are required for the granting of the visa.
