  1. How much tax do you pay on a bridging visa? My tax agent told me 32.5% as I'm considered non- resident for tax purposes. Is that right?
  2. I totally agree. It doesn't make sense. Why do 16.000 applications in June 2017 negatively affect processing times from people who applied in April or May 2016? Why is immi not clearing the back log from 2016 first and then move on to 2017 files?
  3. 90% will be approved within 15 months, and the other 10% have to wait maybe 16 or 17 or 18 months or even longer. That is ridiculous!
  4. It is not a restriction, it is the main condition of the 186 DE visa which also must be part of your employment contract handed in to DIBP with your application. You don't find everything on their website, that's why I would advise everyone to get an immigration agent, even better an immigration lawyer because they can advise you of legal consequences what agents are not always doing.
  5. Your MA is right if you were granted a DE 186 visa. Opposite to the 457 transition to PR you have to work at least 2 years with your sponsoring employer AFTER your PR was granted on a DE. However, my MA also told me that DIBP has no resources allocated to follow up and cancel PR visa if you decide to leave your employer as it is common practice but it's legally not correct and yes it might affect your citizenship application.
  6. Congratulations! Well deserved. I thought once a visa application has been refused, you cannot re-apply. Seems like it's possible. Great.
  7. It seems like at the moment there might be a chance that immi will take over 2016 applications into the new year 2018. How can they justify that?
  8. So what is this contact number from immi for then? No details, no information, why is this hotline? What for?
  9. What did the MA do specifically? My MA is trying to chase my visa for months with inmi with no success. Still no CO allocated after more than 11 months waiting 186 DE.
  10. Isn't that illegal to influence the process, especially from government side as they should follow the rules?
  11. What happened to all the DE 186 from last year? Have they forgotten about us???
  12. Same here, applied for pr as restaurant manager DE early November 2016. Nothing so far. More than 10 months now and waiting.... so annoying
  13. People still waiting from May 2016!!! So I would be patient and don't expect too much.
  14. Lots of people wait more than 8 or 13 months... for no obvious reason, unfortunately.
  15. These processing times seem unrealistic. Last week my MA called Immigration and they said they currently processing applicatiins lodged between April 2016-June 2017!!!!
  16. Do you have MA? This is not a reasonable timeframe. I would contact an MA and request an update in your case. This is scary for everyone else waiting here, as this can happen to all of us, who knows. Uncertainty is the worst!!!
  17. Is this just my feeling or all visa applied in 2016 are on hold? Nothing is happening in the new financial year...
  18. Congrats mate! All the best for you and your family! I live in this country for 8 years from student visa to 457 to challenging circumstances, have a MBA and applied DE 186 more than 9 months and nothing so far. How is that possible? How is that fair? Others get it approved within 4 months. This is ridiculous. Sorry DIBP, not acceptable!!!!
