No, they want to avoid employing illegals, and are too lazy to do the work of checking people’s right to work

Yes, you are at a disadvantage, I'm afraid.   Too many companies have rigid rules which say that employees must be permanent residents or citizens, and their managers aren't allowed the latitude to break the rule. 

that's what I thought too! I read somewhere that companies want to avoid paperwork? not sure what they mean about that

hi all! anyone here on a 300 visa or was previously holding a 300 visa? how did you go with job applications? does it really discourage potential employers that we are on a temp visa? been applying with no luck

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I lodged my fiances 300 visa late 2017 and i am still waiting. I am just wondering how long have you all waited for your prospective visas. 

 

Hi.. lodged my visa in Feb 2018 and it got approved in Dec 2018.

Hey, thank you for the reply!!  yes. I am going to return to the place where I currently live and after apply for a tourist visa if my PMV visa is not granted by then. 

Welcome! Right.. then it's not necessary to update:)

Hey everyone! I hope some of you know what could I do in my situation. 

I applied for PMV visa on 06/07 and have been waiting still. My BF and I are going on holidays for 2 months. As far as I understood , if I leave the place where I usually live I should change my address and phone number  in Immi account. 

I am going to attach tickets and hostel bookings there, but I am not really sure what I should do with the phone number and address. 

Any travellers on this forum? What do you usually do? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Sharfy.. I don't think you have to update it since you are not moving permanently. After 2 months are you going to return to your current address?

Congrats!

Was it processed in Dubai? Were you contacted for further info?

Thank you!! Best Christmas gift! We hired a migration agent based in Brisbane so she would ask us to submit updated evidence (photos, tickets, etc) every 3 months or so. But we have initially submitted a decision ready application.

I’m on 5 months 1 day of waiting....

Hi.. I'm new here. Application lodged 16th Feb 2018 and still waiting!  

Our MA included this in the email when she sent us the acknowledgement letter:

Estimate processing time

After a recent update, the Department’s (DIBP) current estimated processing time is 12 months. Because your application is decision-ready and is being processed offshore, we estimate it will take less than the advertised processing time to process. Probably around 8 – 10 months.
