Hi Tien, I was in the same situation, My company got shut down all of a sudden and I lost my job. I contacted the visa officer to check my situation. I am on my RSMS-187 visa. They replied back saying my visa is not affected and I can search job in any part of Australia due to COVID-19. It depends on the situation. Please contact them.

What if I dont find a job for 1-2 months in the regional area. And run out of funds to stay.

Hello everyone, This is been a great forum. Could not login for a long time, due to stress at work. My office is going to close down and as a result I will be redundant. Although I know that my work is going to wind down, I don’t have a concrete date yet, do I have to wait for the company to shut down before looking for opportunities. I am on my RSMS 187 visa, am now working from a regional area and its been just 7 months that I have started working here. Should I contact the department to inform the situation and seek approval before looking for other opportunities. Should I be looking for opportunities in the regional area or can I look at other cities. If I am made redundant I will be in a financial difficulty to pay bills, so one of my far relative is in Melbourne, Can I move there and look for opportunities. Thank you.

Thanks Wondering aloud. I have asked the HR to talk to IMMI and let me know the outcome.

deleting since this is a duplicate

Hi All, Its just been a month sicne i joined the company and started to settle in the regional area. I wasnt ready for the below. My HR manager called me today to say that they are shutting down the regional office and moving me to Melbourne which has the head office. They said they will contact IMMI to let them know about this and process the request. The business has been running under a loss for sometime and they do not have the funds to keep the regional office open as the clients have dried up. Please let me know if you have come across any past incidents like the above and aware of resolutions. I had hoped to have complex less stay at the regional centre but now this. Please advise. Regards

asking for additional documents, this is called s56.

thank you. My employer called up Immi to ask and was told that Immi reserves the right to cancel the visa if such a thing were to occur. Atleast the employer and me have clarity on this,

Thanks a ton MilaMocha. The business has now said they will contact immi and let me know what needs to be done.

Thanks as always for your reply. What if the busines still has an office in the regional centre but is asking only me to shift to Melbourne while still retaining the regional office. Would this be an issue?

For me i think so as it tooke me 6 weeks from the time of s56 to my grant. From the forum I see there are few whose s56 was requested and they have been waiting for a long time. I hope they start processing the applications faster.

Thank you for your prompt response. There are no conditions mentioned in VEVO as well Work entitlements - The Visa Holder has unlimited Work Entitlements Is it that the conditons are the ones mentioned in IMMI website that needs to be taken into consideration but not explicitly mentioned in the visa grant or VEVO.

I couldnt find conditions in the visa grant letter apart from "We have granted you a Regional Employer Nomination (subclass 187) visa". Is there any section which is akin to condition but worded differently. Please let me know.

Esteemed members - I sent the email to my employer and my Employer has sadi they are considering moving to Melbourne instead of the regional office due to some office realignment. Would there be any issue in this as long as i work for the same organisation.

Good Morning All, I got the golden email on Monday. RCB application approved Dec 2017 [IT Occupation] (I had to wait until April 2018 to apply for the 187 visa as i didnt have a proper IELTS score) 21st April 2018 - 187 application submitted online 22nd March 2019 - s56 Request for more information - PCC requested 26th March 2019 - Attached PCC document online 6th May 2019 - Visa Grant I really thank you guys for replying to the messages and also the forum due to the repository of information. Good luck to the guys waiting for the golden email.

oh oh, the musical chair. Wish they were transparent. thanks for replying. I had another query and i think i know the answer. Can i lodge two applications and both of them being active. For example, I have applied for 187, can i lodge 186 as well?

I was under the assumption that once it is picked up by an CO, it is dealt by him. We can just assume.

good luck.

Guess, the same with my CO. The status says received even though it has been close to 3 weeks since u uploaded the documents. Maybe the CO is on a easter holiday break. Thanks for replying. Status certainly should have changed to "Initial assessment" as i received a S56 email. But does that mean that receiving doesnt necessarily mean that CO has been assigned or CO is on a holiday. Certainly confuses me, but there are few others like me who are in the same boat.

I am interested as well to know if the status should change. I had a s56 as well. anyone please advise.

Scary.

do you mean that the they are slowing the approval rate? If it is, it is really scary. Hope they clear off the backlog.

Thats what i was told as well. Inform IMMI and you are free to move outside of the area. But maybe will wait for others to confirm.

Sorry, I had missed your post. The status shows received still. Is it different for others? Please confirm. On another note, would it be prudent to ask my sponsoring employee to call IMMI and ask for status and mention that they require me soon. I am an offshore applicant. Please advise.
