    Yes mate. I'm citizen now. If you do your research on auditing standards regarding audit team. There is no need for you to have a registration as long as you work in audit team under registered lead auditor. I wrote a letter base on my situation and quote the auditing standards that I found it is supportive for my case. Then, I got my lead auditor read and signed off for me for 186 visa application.

    I'm pretty sure that MA fees are not tax deductible.

    It depends on your occupation I think. If there were a caveat to your occupation which require at least 5 Australian citizen/PR employees (for example, Accountant), then it would affected the nomination. Otherwise, I don't think it would be an issue, as long as the training benchmark is still satisfied.

    The link below is my MA newsletter regarding Training Benchmark requirement at the time I applied. My MA requested my company to demonstrate 1% of payroll in most recent financial year only. I applied in October 2017, so we submitted financial reports ffrom July to June 2017 FY, receipts and also a spreadsheet shows all training expenses and calculation to the 1%. There is also a definition of recent payroll and expenditure in the link. https://www.fragomen.com/insights/alerts/new-training-benchmark-requirements-subclass-457-and-subclass-186-visa-programs

    Hi Fida, Sorry I'm confused. You're saying the requested doc is AFP and you submitted it today. The AFP is valid 12 months. I don't understand when you said your current AFP expired. By the way, 28 days period is just the standard. You might get the decision earlier. As my case, I submitted my Oversea Police Clearance in the morning, and got visa approved 4 hours later.

    Yeah man. As I said earlier, Your IELTS and Oversea Police Check should be fine. Remember to ask your MA first, then do your own research. It always works for me. Good luck man!

    Vince, Just correcting my answer, If you're applying on shore and not going to leave the country more than 12 months. You don't need to worry about redoing Oversea Police Check. So only the AFP you have to redo.

    You don't need to worry about IELTS. If you're a main applicant and IELTS was valid at the time you submitted your visa application, you're fine. Professional year and Skill Assessment, I don't think you have to redo it. I'm not sure about these two cuz I was TRT, so you're better to check on immi website. AFP and Oversea Police Check, I'm pretty sure that you're gonna redo it when it's expired. It's valid for 12 months. For Vietnamese, please make sure that you've submitted Police Clearance No 2.

    All frustration and stress are now gone. My PR granted today. This is a huge surprise because my MA just submitted a requested oversea police clearance this morning, and my visa granted in the afternoon. Occupation: External Auditor Nomination and visa submitted: 09/10/2017 Nomination approved: 11/02/2018 Docs requested: 11/02/2018 - Oversea Police Clearance (submitted 12/03/2018) and Evidence of Registration/License (submitted 08/03/2018). Visa granted: 12/03/2018 All the best for everyone waiting. I believe all of you will get your PR granted soon. Keep your hopes up guys.

    I have been requested the same. But my occupation actually require registration. However, becoming registered company auditor take years. It's kinda impossible for 2-3 years experience auditor likes me. My MA suggest that I need the letter from the principal and also my supervisor who I've been working under their registrations to explain the industry, confirm I can work without registration and on my way to get it in the future. That's what I'm gonna give to them. Let me know if you have something else to add in according to your case. Thanks.

    Hi everyone, I'm applying 186 visa transition stream at the moment. The nomination has been approved and CO is requesting docs regarding Registration/Licensing. However, becoming a Registered Company Auditor is totally a long process. Firstly, I need to complete the CPA program which I have been doing since 2016 and being a full member for at least 2 years, or being employee in accounting firm for at least 5 years. Secondly, I have to gain 3,000 hours of auditing (only for over 1 million revenue organisations) in 5 consecutive years. My company have only a few big firm audits that on the category, the rest are just small firms. Then, there are many character requirements involved. Thus, it takes years and years to be a registered auditor. In reality, most of graduates and intermediate auditors work under the company's registration or their supervisor's registration. My MA advised that I need a letter from my employer and my supervisor to explain that and also their registrations which we will provide. My question is any other supporting docs that I should provide as well? Also any possibility for a visa approval? Anyone experienced or have any knowledge on this matter, I would very appreciate it if you could give me some advice. Thank you

    You don't have to keep private health insurance. It's up to you. You can keep your private health cover but since you have medicare you do not have an obligation to hold private health cover under the 457 visa. That's what my MA told me.

    Here is what you should bring with you to Centrelink office to get your medicare card: Permanent residency applicants For each person you want to enrol, you need to give us a: passport, travel document or Immicard valid visa, and proof from the Department of Home Affairs you’ve submitted a valid permanent residency application This includes you if you’ve applied for a combined spouse visa 309/100 or 820/801. You’re eligible for Medicare the date you applied for permanent residency, not the date your temporary visa 820 was granted. If you applied outside Australia, you’re eligible the date you arrived in Australia. If your visa doesn’t let you work in Australia, you must prove you have a relationship with a parent, spouse or child who’s an Australian citizen, permanent resident or New Zealand citizen who lives in Australia. This proof can be a: birth certificate marriage certificate joint bank or utility account statement, or proof you own a home together Also here is the link for Medicare enrolment application https://www.humanservices.gov.au/individuals/forms/3101

    This is my MA's reply regarding decision-ready applications which I asked him couple months ago. Immigration no longer work on a decision ready process. Applications are processed within the time frame given which is 8 -10 months. In any case, we endeavour to make all applications decision ready within a couple months of lodgement.
  17. TommyC
    I think that is the time frame for DE. Mine is TS, so it shows 8-10 months. You already got your nomination finalised. You will get your visa soon. Good luck mate.
  18. TommyC
    Mine is still showing 8-10 months. Are you on Direct Entry?
  19. TommyC
    I have the same question. Do they investigate Transition Stream as well?
  20. TommyC
    It's all good now.
  21. TommyC
    Yes, me neither. I'm not pretty sure what happened.

    This might give you a rough idea. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1INy6sxuUIisgLOT7CcskWLjQjHV_6yVvUBRHceWE_a0/edit#gid=1445656385

    According to new rules, you have to meet the training benchmark requirements for the recent 12 months or recent financial years. Please see the link below for more details. Hope it help. Recent expenditure for Training Benchmark B is defined as expenditure made in the previous financial year or the previous 12 months, as evidenced by a receipt for the payment(s) or a contract for employment of the relevant individual for whom salary payments are being included within expenditure that can count towards the benchmark. https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2017L00789

    My MA asked my boss to do a summary spreadsheet of all training invoices of the most recent 12 months. The spreadsheet should shows the total training expenses (do not include training expenses of Principal or Director), total salary and wages of the company, and also percentage of training expenses over total wages.

    Hi Eli, Could I ask what questions did they ask you in the interview?
