Mustung

I have quick question. 

I got new born and she got her AU Citizenship and  Passport.

i am applying for Citizenship with my kids now and just wanted to confirm do i need to include new born anywhere in the application?

Thanks all for the valuable feedback. 

only way is to leave on amicable terms with employer,  to get away with all sort of pains and stress...

thanks again... 

Paid up all expenses my self. 

hard to work in status quo environment... 

getting an opportunity with better career growth, learning and to outgrow my skills.. last but not the least.. remuneration..

what should i do in that case?

Hello Folks, 

any one has changed the job before completing 2 years after 186 grant? 

Planning to change my Employer after granted 186 Direct Entry. Checked the following website. Employer need to inform department in case employee leaves i assume that applicable with 187 visa only.

https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/employing-and-sponsoring-someone/existing-sponsors/change-in-situation 

Second weblink below tells what if you want to change the job but 186 is not available in the selection. 

I checked my Visa Grant Notice and cant see any VISA condidtion.

The answer depends. If you applied for the 186 without a genuine intention to work for your employer for the full 2-year period, and it is determined that the application was made with fraudulent or misleading claims, then you can lose your 186.

However, if the application was made on genuine grounds, but the employment relationship has subsequently broken down, or ended due to the nature of normal staff turnover (or other standard employment issues) then your 186 will continue without any problems.

what if you have a tempting offer with a lucrative package...

Hi Mustung

I applied my visa on the same as yours 3 april 2018 (nomination was approved last yr Feb). I paid VAC2 on the same day it was requested 27-2-2019. 

Now waiting 20 days. My status stays as "Received" even now. Possibly because no other docs were requested. I am anxious as one of my overseas pcc expired last week.

Fingers crossed. Hoping for a grant this week ....

HI Mate, 

any update on your Visa Grant?

Hi Mates, 

Requested Department to send Invoice for the second instalment of the visa application charge (VAC) for my Spouse on 17th Mar, 2019. 

Application Status Changed to Further assessment on the same day.

How long department normally takes to issue out Invoice and after paying how much more to wait.:).

I have been asked to submit IELTS or PTE test for my spouse. Anyone has any material and helping tips to take PTE exam. 

please share it on habib.waqas@yahoo.com.

Heaps of Thanks

Hi Folks,

Just received the call from MA. The nomination has been approved. 
Let's see how much more to wait to see the Application Decision.

Normally what is the timeline from Nomination to Final Visa grant?.

Keep your spirits high and don't lose the hopes. Everyone's day will come..:)

@@Admin. Please Update the sheet Apr18 and Row No 3 

Yes You are right Maggie..

Hi  Mates, 

My MA Agent has left the company and someone else has taken over all the cases.   one of my friends advised signing form 956 to appoint the New Agent which I haven't been asked by the Migration Firm. any suggestion or impact on the timelines

Thanks

I'm not an expert but from various Googling I've had to do (I found it quite confusing to start with) this is the conclusion I've come to:

You'll still need to have sufficient medical insurance (as well as Medicare) until the 186 is granted. 

In some circumstances (level of health insurance you're paying for, reciprocal healthcare country etc.) you might be able to be exempt from the levy when you do your tax return - I'd check with your MA and health insurance provider to be sure though

Hey guys, long time lurker (actually since I applied for a partner visa back in 2010!)

 

I was very fortunate to receive my visa grant this morning but I was never on the spreadsheet so wanted to update here. 

186 TRT

Occupation: IT Customer Support

LR

1 Applicant

Applied: Feb 16th 2018

Granted: Nov 23rd 2018

 

i actually have no idea when the nomination was approved because work used a migration agent who were going to contact me when approved  I assume that it must have been approved together  

 

I know I haven’t waited as long as some so I just want to wish you all good luck!

 

Also because it’s been a hot topic I uploaded form 80 yesterday because I didn’t want to have any delays if it was needed. 

have you submitted Overseas Police Clearance Certificate with your application 

Haven't seen any ICT Business Analyst grants lately neither any ICT Roles.. Was checking the excel.. No Grants for ICT profession since Jan..... Surprised...

Hi. Is there anyone who can read and understand our financial report if theres any negative numbers or strong enough with finance of my company  because its been 8mths since I lodged 186 trt Chef and I am little anxious about our financial situation. We spent 2 millions on renovation by building poki room in 2016 and since then we have some minus profit which makes me worried

I am working at small Rsl club in Sydney and I know financial stability is the most important part of nomination.

Thank you

 

Hello Dear, CO are not accountants. i would suggest to have letter from certified accountant proving the company can sustain. that would help to make better understandings for CO.

Hi Mates, Do AFP certificate need to be certified or i can upload as it is?
