No shes Australian and my visa is through work and not through her. I will double check if there is a section for marital status, i couldn't see one? 

Find the Form 1022, there is a section where it does ask for maritial status.. And further on the form it will ask you what has changed. Hope it helps!!

Well it all depends on luck because one of my friend got his nomnation approved in august as his owner sold his business in september last year. And he is also waiting for his visa.

It sure does, by the looks of it. Good luck to you too!

Well if nomination has been approved and they check that the business needs a person and their history is clear  i think there is no issue with that as have 7 friends who visa granted after nomination approved and business sold and one of them got his nomination approved even the business was sold and he is also waiting for his visa.

Hope you prove us wrong. Immigration will let you know. As you can see, according to your case, we think otherwise. 

Two different things; 1)business being sold but you  remaining as an employee to the new owners (different ABN) , and 2)working now for a different employer; completely different location, nothing to do with the previous business while keeping nomination from former employer.  The second, in my humble opinion, goes against of the current requirements.

But good luck!

@Austin Did I read and understand that correct? Your nomination has been approved (from the company you used to work for) and your visa is still waiting. 

HOWEVER, you no longer work for the company who's nomination was approved? 

It goes against the whole purpose of the ENS 186 visa. This visa is designed to supply skilled employees to employers who are encountering employee shortage,  so what would be the point in approving visas lilke in your case scenario, if you are no longer working for the business who nominated you (in other words..needed you).

@Nora

I assume you're referring to the government paid paternity leave only? 

As for employers' - it's entirely up to them if they have policies / offer you paternity leave. I was lucky enough to get direct paid leave from my employer.
- If I was the one pregnant, it would have been 3 months, however, 5 days (spouse) was greatly appreciated. 

Sorry, yes.. referring to the Gov paid paternity leave. Relevant people shall check what arrangements they have with the employer.

I do not think there are any effects, just inform the DHA about your circumstances. Their is a form, I believe it is 1022  " Notification of Changes in Circumstances". Unfortunately, you must be Permanent resident or Citizen to qualify for paid parental leave. 

However, there are some MA that suggest to inform about pregnancy or baby once the baby is born. And as Hex said, you shall upload a passport to add baby to your visa application (if not yet granted by then), the good thing is that there is no fee to add a new born to PR applications, according to DHA website. Good things are on your way!!! Bless!

Hi everyone,

First time poster, I'm so grateful for this forum. Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences.

I'm a marketing manager currently on a 457, based in QLD, due to apply for ENS TRT in April (hopefully the Feb announcement won't change that) - counting down the months! I am the primary applicant and my partner is on my visa. 

The MA my organisation uses are based in Perth. From what I've read, you guys tend to put a lot of work into both the nomination and the application. I want to give myself the best chance of a successful grant. Do you guys have any tips? I don't trust the MA and my organisation to be as diligent as you guys.

The organisation I work for hires a lot of overseas employees but I am the first person in the marketing department.

Also, do you know what would happen if I fell pregnant before or after the PR lodgement? I know we would be unlikely to qualify for paid parental leave but would it effect our chances of getting PR? 

Thanks in advance!

That is extremely odd the medical centre probably had it wrong....

Here is what i did when i was requested a new Medical last week .....

I went to immi profile and selected health assessment - it then had been updated (by case officer) to say we needed to renew, i selected the renewal and it took me to a page with how to book medical- i called the number listed and quoted the HAP ID shown (which was the same as previous) and hey presto!

The medical centre was pleasantly surprised to see we had already had most of the work done by previous medical centre referring to our HAP ID and photos ect. 

I would lay my life on this! YOU DO NOT NEED A NEW HAP ID!

They just update your file with your medical renewal- its very clever and all complete via the immigration account portal you have access too... 

Maybe not a new HAP ID, but an order; like in your case where CO requested to renew medicals. Probably there is a statement on BUPA's end showing this. I doubt that just by trying to make an appoinment with same HAP ID like in his case without a request will work. 

Happy Monday everyone! Hopefully we can see some grants today!

I have the same question and similar situation like yours. I applied TRT on 27 Feb, just 1 day before you and have no update yet. 

We are also expecting a baby due date 21 Dec. I had a big hope to get some news before the due date but looking to the current processing time, I m hopeless for Golden mail before Christmas. As per my research, if the baby is born before the visa grant, we don't get any benefits for the baby and baby will get the same visa like the parents.

I wish you good luck and let's keep on praying.

 

 

If baby is born in Au before PR is granted, the baby will get the active visa you are on, (and must advice the DHA to attach your child to the 186 visa application). No entitlements before PR for baby, unfortunately. But at least you may use your Interim Medicare card for the birth in a Public Hospital. All the best

Rain - yuck! Where abouts are you? 

I’m in the medical Center sitting next to a man wearing so much aftershave it’s making me feel sick...

Also so excited to hand over another $800.00

Melbourne! Haha..missing the sunny state!!! Ewww, good luck with that!! haha.. hope you are doing OK.

See there’s a positive of not having an MA all emails and correspondence come directly to me and my employer (who I’m very close with) 

I never felt comfortable leaving my future and my life in someone else’s hands- perhaps that also makes me a control freak but I just liked to look at every document myself after going over and over the requirements before myself or the company uploaded.

i truly believe nobody’s cares about your visa more then you... I’ve had many friends who went through MA’s started the process before us but took longer to even lodge application because of all the backwards and forwards....

Happy Tuesday by the way- beautiful sunny skies where I am

 

Happy Tuesday!!!! Looks miserable where I am lol. Raining!!!! Enjoy and hopefully you get the golden email soon. I think once you submit the requested docs you will get your PR...like you gotta!!!  15 days to go to hear from DHA before Xmas!

I have been waiting for 20 months now same occupation.

Try calling Immigration, I rang the other day regarding a "general question I had", and then asked for timelines. The customer service officer said-quote : "If you been waiting longer than the global proccesing time, either you or your MA can ring us to get an update". 

Hopefully you get an answer or get your visa approve soon!

I asked the same question earlier and no one seemed to reply, so I'd assume that is impossible to do. That makes sense as it's an interaction between your company and the immigration.  If you find a way pls let me know

You won't be able to see the nomination status, as it contains sensitive information of your employer. Therefore, only your migration agent would have access and your employer. With the TRN number you are only able to track the status of your visa application.

Hi All,

Please don't consider me as a free rider. I am a silent reader of this thread for  many months and didn't want to register as my knowledge on this topic very few. 
 

Regarding me, I am currently holding a 457 visa and planing to apply 186 TRT at the end of this month. Wish me luck !! My problem is current employer said his Standard business sponsorship (SBS) has expired this year and he not going to renew it as he not willing to do the sponsor  any more.

Q1. Is this going to affect me? he said no

Q2. Is he not required to meet training benchmark after his SBS expired?  he said no

 

While waiting to consult MA your valuable thoughts on this matter highly appreciated 

Furthermore If anyone know good, experience MA who can handle this case and located around Melbourne more than well come to introduce.

 

Thank you very much in advance guys.

 

 

According to my understanding on the attach screenshots, it states that our employer must be an approved active Standard Business Sponsor. Meaning that on the day of nomination lodgement the business must be SBS approved. Otherwise the business won't be able to nominate you as it is a "sponsorship" visa program and shall comply with all requirements.

Or maybe his nomination was submitted last year or earlier this year and approved on July'18. And his visa application made on May '18.

Congrats to everyone with the good news

In my case, I have applied for ENS 186 since 16^th April 2018 and currently hold 457 visa expiring in August 2019. Current employer will be folding the business next month and the new employer is willing to nominate me but i don"t wish to pay the fees again.  An immigration lawyer has described to me that if there is a change in the employer’s ABN number, my current ENS (Employer Nomination Scheme) 186 will be rejected once assigned a case manager by the immigration and will require to either find a new employer to sponsor, repay all the fees for a new application or worst-case scenario leave the country.

has anyone got any sort of understanding if their is any loop hole or exemption?

The new employer is willing to nominate me but i don"t wish to pay the fees again.

Thanking you in Advance.

regards, 

Harpreet
