Visa

Don't stress guys, if you just got your RSMS pr visa and the employer don't need you around. Then you should be happy about it! You got no lock in contract PR and you can work elsewere or your find your dream job. For the RSMS visa, the employer has to guarantee the nominated position for at least two years. In you case, he is not complaying with that. All you have to do is genuine effort to stay with your employer, then you will be safe. If you leave the job or give a resign letter you will be in a vulnerable position. Talk to a MA, a professional one. Even a lawer. Good luck to you

WA RCB processed in just 6 working days. Retail Manager.

Ye, and is going to keep increasing, so applicants from early to mid 2016 expect to PATIENTLY wait around 10 to 11 months.

So you know you are getting your PR tomorrow, a Sunday

Its fine if you just imagine applying thru agency. Jokes apart, if they know how to do it, let them do, will save you thousands of $$$. Applying with migration agents you get the professional advice and paperwork checklist for a sucessful application. Aslo when Case Officers review your application, might feel more relaxed as the application is coming from a familiar and professional resource. At the end its entirely up to your budget, knowledge and gut Good luck

I thought IELTS results were valid for 2 years, and recently extended to 3 years. Anyway having below 4.5 you really don't deserve to be in Australia unless you are a refugee.

Yoyo just a quick question. The 8 months average waiting queue for CO allocation starts counting from visa application or from nomination? Saying that because I applied visa on April 2016, and will lodge nomination on September 2016. Yes, would be terrible if my case is opened and still haven't gotten the nomination lodged Bonus question: Comparing LR and HR country applicants, any faster processing times? less or more documents requested? Or its just for discriminating. Thank youuuu.

Back in 2014, me and my best mate were suffering of very intense headaches. We thought it was just something casual and a coincidence, but It happened repeatedly so we started troubleshooting and realized it was caused from a water filtered tap in one of Perth's TAFE next to our classroom. So ye, that little fountain was always overloaded of water, looked like due to service. Probably bacteria built up, filters weren't changed in a while and water was probably worst that straight tap water. I have to confess, water in Perth, I believe in whole Australia, is very fresh and pleasant to drink. Due high standards of quality & control, we are very fortunate to enjoy a very good tap water. I drink it at work and at home, tastes better than most bottled waters. Recently I red online (can't remember where exactly), where it was explained that bottled water, opposite from what we think, might be less healthy as water comes in contact with the plastic of the just produced plastic bottle. When tap water has been treated and brought to a very safe human consumption level. Just taste it by yourself, is sooooo delicious. I am out to drink some from the tap

Would like to know the same but in reverse mode, I applied Visa mid April 2016, but nomination not yet. Cheers.

Nhung Nguy, if you apply for a student visa (Master course) Then you get into a student visa. If you apply onshore for a 187 RSMS visa then your student visa will still be in effect and you have to continue your studies. Bridging visas are visas that do what it name says, a bridge between two visas. In your particular case a bridging visa won't be required. Certain master courses allow you to work full time, so that should be fine if you worry about your employment. If you come with student visa and then withdraw your course your student visa will be cancelled and you will most likely have to go back to your country. Why don't just apply 187 offshore and save yourself the money for a house lol BTW Bridging visa E is the worst of the bridging visas, it doesn't allow you to study, neither work. Although you can request permission for special situations but its not guaranteed.

Same here mate, I am a bit lost as well. Don't know what is the nomination thing about. At the beginning I thought they were referring to the RCB as "nomination" but later realised that is another thing that I know nothing about. I applied trough MA, first visa application mid April, then applied for RCB few days later (MA is controlling everything) so all I do is wait wait wait. I Have to say that at the time of the visa application, all documents, mines and the business were ready (Except federal police clearance and partner English requirements). If it helps to anyone. I lodged BVB in person in office. Took them 7 business day to process. Granted BVB Results came to my e-mail, from a different office, so apparently they scan it and put it into the system and then assigned to an officer on the other coast. :goofy: RSMS applied mid April BVB granted just until August (I heard some got BVB for 6 months) The lenght of your BVB might be an indicator of when you are expected to have your case opened, and they want to have you back onshore in that time. Note that officers do an estimation on when your visa is expected to be assigned before they give you the duration of traveling permit. Although this is just the theory. Good luck with your applications!

I applied for a BVB 7 days ago, still have no reply from IMMI. Lodged in person in Perth Office, have flight in two weeks

Hi there, New applicant here, 187 Direct Entry Application - 14/04 RCB Application - Not yet WA So I have few questions, so feel free to answer them I was on a Student visa before, therefore I am in a bridging Visa with the same conditions as the previous visa along with my partner. My Medibank OSHC has expired the same day as my student visa did. Should I extend my insurance cover or am I entitled for Medicare as I applied fro RSMS 187 which is a Permanent Visa??? We applied onshore, that's how we got the bridging visa A. We are planning to go overseas for 7 weeks to celebrate our Wedding and to see our family members. Flying next month and comming back in July. Remember I applied 187 mid April. Well my MA told me that all I have to do is apply for a Bridging visa B. Has anyone been brave enough to leave Australia during their visa process without dramas from DIBP??? If so, please comfort me with your experience. I already bought the tickets, so looking forward with my wedding plans. Thank you all before hand and good luck with your applications!
