I've done some searching but haven't been able to find a definitive answer on this one. If you apply to transition from 457 to PR but are refused, is your 457 valid until its original expiry date?
-
Does anyone know the answer to this question prompted by a lunchroom conversation - If you've applied for transition from a 457 to ENS 186 and it's refused is your 457 visa still valid until it was originally meant to expire or do you have to leave Australia within 28 days?

There's no point emailing them yet, they state that processing time is up to 6 months and that they don't respond to status requests until you've been waiting for longer than that.

I did my visa without an MA, used one for the nomination though.

Yes! Lots of us - check the spreadsheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1INy6sxuUIisgLOT7CcskWLjQjHV_6yVvUBRHceWE_a0/edit#gid=1627480557

I've pasted the values in from the latest revision I could find, might need some tidying

RSMS Section 137Q of the Australian Migration Act provides that a regional sponsored employment visa may be cancelled: If the Minister is satisfied that the visa holder did not commence work with their sponsoring employer within 6 months AND the visa holder did not make a genuine effort to commence that employment; or Where the visa holder commenced the employment but did not complete the two year employment period AND the Minister is not satisfied that the visa holder has made a ‘genuine effort’ to complete the required two years. Under Australian Migration Policy, in assessing whether the visa holder has made a ‘genuine effort’, the delegate must consider: The visa holder's reasons and/or circumstances leading to the failure to commence work or to complete the two year employment period (family or personal considerations may be a factor under these circumstances); The possibility that the visa holder, in collusion with the employer, does not commence work within the six month period or resigns shortly after commencing work, as part of an arrangement to help the visa holder enter or remain in Australia; In the case of termination, the period of the visa holder's employment with the employer prior to termination of the employment (generally, periods of more than 12 months may be considered as a genuine effort); and Any other matter which is relevant to the commencement or termination of the employment

RSMS (subclass 187) is a regional sponsored visa. They're pretty similar but for RSMS you obviously have to work in a regional area and there is a condition on your visa which states you must stay with your employer for 2 years. The ENS (subclass 186) does not have this, it's more of a moral obligation to stay with your employer.

I wonder how much extra time there would be to process visas if immi didn't have to answer all these calls? :wacko:
-
Congratulations! Do you mind saying which state you live in? I think this is something that's missing from the spread sheet.
-
We lodged in July and did our health checks in October. They last a year so I'm hoping we'll have our visa long before next October!
-
No idea, I just often see people asking or specifying the center and was curious how they knew!!
-
The footer of the acknowledgement letter (PDF on email) has the following - NSW PESE OFFICE: 9 Wentworth Street Parramatta NSW 2150 Is the footer specific to each application? I assumed it was a template and that was Head Office.
-
How do you know which processing centre your application has gone to?
-
I know a nurse who got her 189 in 1 month and she was already in country!
-
If you're already in the country I can't see why your occupation would make any difference. You're already in the job you've been nominated for so processing your application faster isn't going to fill a skills shortage!

I did the visa application myself and there was no mention of medicals in the document checklist. I've actually just logged into immi and clicked on 'View heath assessment'. In there it says - Examinations required This person is required to complete health examinations for this visa application. Click on the link below to organise these health examinations. I went through and made a declaration about my previous health and have now printed off a referral letter with HAP ID. So it looks like I can go and get them done and they'll be there ready for the case officer that picks it up.
-
I haven't done my medicals and if I'm reading the information on the immi site correctly it would now delay my application to submit it prior to a case officer asking for it. Does anyone have any experience with this? I didn't realise it could be submitted prior to it being asked for. I'm in country if it makes a difference? (I did already post this but it said it required moderator approval and has completely disappeared!)
-
Preview I lodged my application without medicals and I've since been told by a couple of people that got PR recently that they did their medicals prior to lodging their application to save time. Is it too late for me to get the medicals done now? I found this information which would suggest it is but it wouldn't be the first time I've seen conflicting information -
-
Thanks, don't know how I missed that!
-
Fingers crossed, PR would be a nice way to start 2017!

Hi I'm new to the forum ENS 457 transition to 186 Nomination lodged 06/07/2016 Visa lodged 07/07/2016 The agent that lodged my nomination said there is currently a 7-8 month wait! Can anyone tell me how to add this to my signature? I've been through the settings but didn't spot it!
