Hi there, need some advice, I’ve been working as a cook for my sponsoring employer for 2 years now, got 187 visa approved 5 months ago, now my employer has put me as casual employee on just verbal notice as they can’t continue paying full time wages anymore, can I leave and find another job as I cannot stay on such a small wages, employer is refusing to give release letter or anything in writing as they don’t want me to leave. So confused and stressed don’t know what to do,  any advice?
Thanks

Hi, i am in the same situation, case officer have called my employer and spoke with him 2nd time for almost 25 mins. A month ago they were asking for adverse information and my migration agent has explain all the doubts and now immigration has requested to prove the relationship between me and my employer because my empolyer and i accidentally got work experience certificate from same shop but different year and he also worked at service station and i also but different suburb. This is the reason immigration has doubt that there is a connection between me and employer so, i am confused how to respond.

Hi mate, I would suggest follow what your MA suggest and be honest with immi, if u don’t have any family relationship than attach stat declaration form to prove u don’t have any family relationship with employer, coincidentally u may have work in same company not a big deal mate, its a small world.

Hi I’m updating my friend’s timeline so it can give u some hope 

occupation cook Qld

Nom & visa applied 17 june 2017

nomination approved today

sponsor monitoring unit people visited her workplace about three months ago, they asked lots of questions to employer , than immi rang her for phone interview after about a month.

Last month immi asked employer  to comment on some adverse info they found which was related to some work cover dispute few years ago, employer clarify all their doubts by providing the documentation and immi was satisfied with the response. Her nomination has been approved today.

requested AFP for visa application.

Urgent recomendation post again

AAT / apply for new nomi & visa ?

MA is saying for AAT. I am on 485 visa and have time to be ready for new nomi & visa.

really really confused. Please suggest

Both way will cost great deal of money.

 

If u meet the requirements go for new nomination, that would be quicker and safer than AAT

Bad news guys

My colleague and I both got visa refused today.

My timeline

187 DE cook VIC

LR country

Apply Rcb + nom + visa : Oct, 2017

Rcb appovol : Nov, 2017

Ask for update financial doc and more documents for nomination : mid Sep, 2018

Updated all documents 05, Oct , 2018

nomination refused: 25,  Feb, 2019

they gave a lots of reason but the main reason is they don't see any evidence that my employer need a full time cook.

 

My colleague apply as a motel manger 26, Feb, 2018

they refused the nomination today too.

Reason is the tasks of the motel manger can be done by the general manager.

Feeling hopeless as we both work for this business for almost 1 and a half year.

 

Still thinking should we go for AAT. Not sure can we go through two more years to wait for the results.

 

 

That hurts, Why they said restaurant don’t need full time cook, is there any other chef or cook already working?

Hi guys ! 

I have been silent follower since 2016 

i applied rsms in nov 2016 

nomination refused in July 2018 

reapplied rsms 3rd sep 2018 different company with 2.5 millions turnover 

I am not expecting anything soon . 

But I am really sad and broke . 

I am on bridging visa c 

no travel authority 

My cousin  passed away last week , feeling really sad . I don’t know what to do . Because my lawyer is not really sure if this application will go through because I am working on $ 36000 salary package as a restaurant manager . But according to my work contract should be $ 54000 but that’s after my visa will approve. Also trying to apply for skill assessment but she thinks my previous employer made so much mess .skill assessment is in process. I have interviewed by officer and she asked me send the payslips for each employment .is anyone in same boat ?   Occupation restaurant manager

Hi, Im on BVC too, can’t do anything else other than wait, I think 36k is too low, check your award rate online, even before your contract starts you should not be underpaid.

Hi guys,

I have been a silence follower for a while. My nomination has been refused today. Reason: applicant has failed to demonstrate how they have met the relevant criteria for the approval of this nomination as set out in Australian migration law. 

IMMI called my employer, there are 3 applicants under the sponsored program. 1 cook and 2 restaurant managers(including me).but employer did not mentioned me. One day after, immi called back and employer said that he forgot me. Because it is a long waiting time.

I am wordering if anyone from this forum has gone to AAT? I’ve heard I will be waiting for another 18-24months. As the lawyer said, that is a weak reason to refuse the nomination. Am I going to win the appeal?

Timeline: Aug 2016(VISA+nomination)

Occupation: restaurant manager 

thank you guys.

 

Thats long wait but why would someone hire 2 managers, is that such a big company

Congratulations, so u had to submit overseas pcc as well again ??

Hi, yes you need approval from your employer they should not have any trouble with that, you need to create online portal with TRA and fill the application for PSA which is 1st step of JRP and cost $300  when you complete the online application they will ask you to email your documents ie pay slips to prove 360 hours work, employer reference latter with your duties etc bank statements etc

you need to ring TRA to get information if you are eligible to do jrp or not by giving your qualifications details etc. once your PSA is approved they will guide you to second step which is job ready employment cost around $500 than third step after 9 months I think workplace assessment cost $2000 they vist your workplace to examin you, fourth step final assessment $150 whole process takes 1 year. Thanks

Paala, As u have cert 4 in cookery, get 360 hours experience as cook or chef’s assistant or something similar. Create account online with TRA, After compeleting 360 hours, submit your PSA(provisional skill assessment) cost $300.  you will need letter from your employer, pay slips, bank statements, your passport copy etc, PSA is taking upto 90 days to be approved So you need time somehow. I hope it would help u a bit, normally I wouldn’t go to MA for such a simple process but your case is getting bit compicated so batter go to MA. ring TRA to confirm your job ready program JRP 1300360992 .Good luck
