Hi Applied for 186, TRT. Our MA has lodged ALL of our supporting documents under “other documents” Is that ok?
-
Definitely declare it. My friend has a conviction and always declares it and she’s been to Aus 3 times. They want details and the tourist visa won’t be instant, It will just take a few days longer to process. If not declared, they may get put on a return flight without leaving the airport.

Motor mechanic Does it make a difference? My OH is a HGV DIESEL mechanic but the visa agent has lodged our application as a motor mechanic

I agree with Marisawright especially about Australia being totally different to the UK. In your original post you said about the 2 interviews you’ve had and they never got back to you. Every interview I’ve been to in the UK they always notified me of the outcome. Here they don’t even bother to let you know! I consider it to be really rude! I must remember this is a different country to the UK. This isn’t a one off, it’s happened twice to me and once for my son. I dropped everything for a same day interview on Wednesday with an agency. When I left I was told she’d contact my references, then the company looking for a temp that afternoon and let me know. I followed it up with an email yesterday but nothing! still waiting! ?

Hi, From my experience it is harder here than the UK. I don’t know about Melbourne but over 1,800 people are moving to Brisbane every month, the job market is flooded with applicants. Ive been looking for permanent work since November too and had 3 interviews in that time without success.

Hi mand88 What visa and which state have you applied for? I only applied in Feb this year so going through the long wait -186 ENS TRT Queensland
-
Hi, Weve applied for a TRT 186 and we’re on BVA now. The primary applicant (my husband) has been offered the chance to work in another location. Same company, same job title, same state but in a location 70km away. Will we need to advise immigration of the change of location and will it effect our application if he agrees to move?
-
OMG, sorry I didn’t know that. We arrived in 2014. That’s going to be so hard for so many people! Our son hasn’t been able to continue his education passed secondary level as he’s classed as an International student and the fees are out of our reach. We’ve applied for PR but we’re on the long wait for processing. The Government are making harder to move here every year.

Hi, We arrived on a 457 our son went to a state school, Henley High school in SA for two years. Current fees Henley High School Materials and Services Charges 2018: $760.00 + Subject Charges http://www.henleyhs.sa.edu.au/section/enrolments/fees-charges We also had to buy the uniform, sports uniform and a laptop from the school. They aren’t allowed to use there own. They do allow you to pay monthly or fortnightly too. Lots of people have use payment plans for school fees, uniforms etc if you need them. If you choose a state school you will have to live in the catchment area. Henley Beach was a lovely area to live and the schools are brilliant. I highly recommend that area. I hope to move back there once we’re residents. We moved to QLD and I really regret it.

Hi, Please can anyone tell me if a BVA holder can study at TAFE QLD as a domestic student , not International student? Ive asked TAFE qld twice. First time they said yes, he’d be classed as domestic. Now couple of months later when I’ve asked they tell me my son would be classed as international student? The visa states permission to study?

Thanks Raul

My agent messed up my RSMS application. What should I do now?
samlab replied to csc2018's topic in Working and Skilled Visas
Sorry to get involved but I’ve just realised my RMA didn’t make the changes I asked her to before lodging our PR application. So currently my National Identity Card number has been lodged on my application as the reference number of my decree absolute and the day I got divorced!!! and our contact number lodged is a number neither us or the RMA recognises! Both of these were pointed out to her prior to lodgement.Also all of the documents have been uploaded under “other documents “ not next to the relevant title. Not all RMA are that good at their job. In my experience. Yet our future’s are in their hands! A lot of people are kept in the dark and just told to wait. Only by checking ourselves on our Immi accounts do these mistakes or concerns arise. So what are the options? Ask another professional? Ask people on here or trust a migration agent that’s made a mistake or three in my case? We’re paying them $4,500 for the privilege too. Tried to contact her, her boss and her assistant and got three out of office replies. -
Are these still in use? It is listed for document attachment on the submitted application section of Immi account. I googled what it was and it said .. only for MA to upload and it can cut waiting time down by months! Then read somewhere else they are not in use anymore? Are they still in use?
-
?? Congratulations! ?? Were at the start of our long wait! Only been 3 weeks so far ?
-
Wow a lot of effort went into your post. Just want to point out that all of the pictures are of places to travel to from Bracken Ridge though? Do you have pictures of Bracken Ridge itself?

Hi Lamby1980, try Gavin at techsonthemove he’s brilliant and based in NSW.

Thanks, I am signed up and temping a couple of days a week. Just finding it hard to get a permanent job part time or full time.

Hi Is anyone else struggling to find work? I’ve lived in Brisbane for a couple of years and Australia for 4 years. Since being made redundant in November I’ve found it so hard to get another admin/customer service job. I know for sue they get 200+ applicants for most of them advertised on seek.
-
Not at all. I did it easy enough? You just create an account as an individual https://online.immi.gov.au/lusc/register

Our 186 was lodge this week, Our MA quoted 12-18 months. I thought that was inaccurate. When we imported our application into our immi account it states 8-9 months! Get access to your immi account. If you haven’t got one, register for one and import your application. You can see exactly what’s be lodged, attached and updates.
-
Brilliant information? I didn’t know that. Thanks
-
There’s a part on the application that states Applicant agrees to take up the position for at least two years. Our agent has written Yes Does that mean he has to stay with the same company for another 2 years? Or just stay in the same trade?

Another top tip.. Never sign up on a rental without seeing it yourself first. The agents shouldn’t allow you to do it but they get around it. We moved from SA to Qld and signed a 12 month lease on a property we’d only seen on the internet. It was flea infested and the area was horrible. Cost us a lot of stress and our $1,200 deposit to get out of the lease. We got off lightly! Also if your looking at the commute time from work to a prospective property always check google maps around the time you’ll be travelling. What can be 30 mins in the evening could be 1hr 30mins in peak hour. Especially in Brisbane or the Gold Coast.
