Hi there

when did you get the email for the invite?

 

My husband and friends received on 30/11. Only me received on 6/12. 

Finally got invitations for ceremony me & my husband. Also 2 of my friends got invitations for same date, same location with us.

Timeline:

- Application submitted: 17/7/2020

- Test: 26/6/2021

- Ceremony: 26/1/2022 Australia Day

Melbourne - Whittlesea council
 

Hello guys,

i’m having the test this Saturday. But i’m confused with my driver license now since i went to the bank and the staff there said my name on the license is wrong as it doesn’t have my middle name in there. I’ve been using it for years with no problems.

does anyone knows if the Victoria license will show middle name or not?

my name is 4 words ( 3 words middle name and 1 word surname) and the license only shows first name (1 words) and sure name. All of my other documents such as bank statements, passport, visa, etc are show all 4 words name

thank you

They can't keep u on casual after three months. 

I called DOHA and they said there’s no condition about employment status after 187 granted. So, either casual, part time or full time is fine. 

Read really carefully the section S137Q. The conditions that might lead to visa cancellation in their say “AND” not “ OR”. 

it’s not that easy like: ok, you didn’t complete 2 years, then we’ll kick you out of Australia.
You still need to prove that you’ve made the genuine effort for the business and it said  “in the case of termination, the period of the visa holder's employment with the employer prior to termination of the employment (generally, periods of more than 12 months may be considered as a genuine effort) “

And we can all see that your employer have done the wrong things when they don’t put you on jobkeeper.

my agents said it’s hard to prove the jobs wasn’t genuine if you’ve worked more than 1 year.

If u are on 187 visa offered by same company u are permanent employee already. Are u not getting salary slips?? The salary slips gives u all the details of Annual leave earned, superannuation,  no. of hours worked,  sick or personal leave to date , plenty of things. Also gives u how much earned in till now for the year.  Also it gives u details of It tax deducted.

 

That's totally weird to me. Bit suspicious.

Of course the pay slips should have stated everything you have listed.  All sounds very shonky indeed.

I do have payslips and it shows everything you guys said, except any information about leaves.

these payslips were the same with the one I submitted to CO when they requested. 

the fairwork gave me a call back and said my employer is doing it wrong, and they can’t change me to casual without notice. Also my hourly rate at the moment, it’s underpaid for both full time and casual. 
 

I decided i’ll talk to my employer about this.

They are lying to you.  Did you sign the letter of offer?  If you did, it is a contract.   The employer can't change his mind now.  You are permanent full-time and you are entitled to annual leave. 

Yes, on the letter of offer, there’re my signature and the employer’s signature.

I did give fairwork and Doha a call.
Doha gave me a weird answer that: even they’re doing the wrong things & illegally, i still have to finish 2 years in order to not get the visa cancellation.

the fair work: they’re quite confused and don’t know what to do, so they told me a person from higher position will contact me regarding the situation.

My agent who has done 187 for me: i did pay them but since i had the visa, they don’t want to talk or doing anything else. They’re like their job is done and don’t want to give free advice.

That's impossible.  How did you get a 187 visa if you didn't have a contract to show Immigration?    

Actually, i found a letter of offer for my job. And it said: permanent full time. It’s not a contract, only a 1 side A4 with few words like the starting dates, the starting hourly rate,name.

cause when i asked them about annual leave, sick leave, they said i’m casual so don’t have any. Does this mean they lied to me or trying not to pay me leaves?

I really have no ideas. My agent didn’t tell me anything about employer’s documents when they submitted on behalf of them, the agent contacted them directly.

My visa was granted quite smooth and early than I expected as well

I would take some advice from an agent as reading your post I'm not sure if your employer is allowed to have you on a casual contract 

1 hour ago, Tulip1 said:

Have you read through your contract? If you are sure you are casual then I think this has more problems than just the wage difference. I agree with ali, you need to speak to an agent.

I didn’t sign any contract from the beginning. As i texted the employer yesterday then they replied that i’m casual. 
So, between me and employer, there’re none contract or even a piece of paper say anything about job roles.

Hello guys,

I’ve been holding 187 for 11 months. And just found out i’m casual employee for the whole time as i asked my employer about annual leaves, then they said i’m casual so don’t have any leaves. 
Therefore, i did few searches on Fairwork about wages for casual employees and turned out i’m underpaid for nearly 3 years (total time i’ve been working). As casual will get pay higher than full time, part time for not having any leaves. With a bit of calculating, they are now owning me aprox $20k

Can this be a reason for me to quit the job?

Thanks to anyone that replying.

Hello guys,

i have a question: do we need to be a full time employee to apply or grant 187?

i’m holding 187 for 11 months and just found out i’m casual for the whole time.

Hi everyone.

People with 187 visa who terminated due to the covid-19, Still stay in regional Area or already left?

still no job here I don’t know should I stay here until I complete 2 years or can move to other city to find job. 

Thank you and keep stay safe guys:)

 

I saw someone commented in the 187 visa topic regarding the same situation like you, they gave the department a call and got answers that you can find a job anywhere as the covid19 is out of their hand and the visa won’t be affected.
Maybe you can give them a call and see what will they say. They won’t ask any personal information

Hi everyone, I have been thinking of leaving my employer before 2 years after my visa was granted.

I have been working in this company for 3.5 years. My 187 visa was granted 1 year ago and I still have 1 year to go to finish the requirement of the 187 visa.

I don't really like working here at all as the employer always verbal abuses employees and he is a big racists ( I have all the evidence of the messages he sent to me and crew). The only reason that I'm still here is for the visa.

Recent, my employer found out my thought to him. He told me that if I am not happy here, I don't have to stay here for another year just for the visa. He thought my stay will pose negative impact to the new crew.

 

Do you think in this case I will be safe to leave? If yes, should I just verbal tell him I am leaving or write  proper resignation?

If he reports to the department after I have left, is the fact that he is verbal abusing employees and being a racist a strong enough reason for me to leave the company?

Thanks in advance fr your suggestion!

Your background is exactly same as me, i’ve been working for 3.5yrs but only 1yr after PR. I want to leave just because it takes me 1hr1mins to drive (110km) and the wages is not worth it.

I talked to my agent and she said i just can leave especially during the covid 19 situation. She said leaving after 1 year with 187 is fine and i can move back to Melbourne. Also, the covid 19 has affected so many business and lots of 187 employees has been lacked of, the department cannot do anything about this. She also said, if the employer report you and unfortunately we all have to go to court, it’s very hard to prove that the job isn’t genuine ( cause we’ve been working for longtime) or lead to the cancellation of visa.

Hi guys,

just wondering can an accountant sign form 1195 or not? The one who have done my tax every year.

i don’t know anyone in the occupation list and i dont go GP as well cause I rarely sick. 

Thank you

Hi guys,

i’ve been working for my sponsor company 2 years 3 months in total but only 7 months after PR granted. And now, i want to take 6 weeks holiday to go overseas on November this year but employers not approve it. Can i just go even though they don’t approve it? The employers dont provide Annual leaves for all staffs as well. 
 

Did anyone quit the job before 2 years end? My agent who have done my 187 and another agent who have done my 143, both said they’ve never seen someone get visa cancel after quitting the sponsor early. 
 

thanks guys

Congratulations

After you submitted s56 how did your immiaccount status change? I have submitted s56 for 3weeks and still showing Further Assessment on my immiaccount.My agency was told me it takes around 2 weeks to completed the process.

It showed “further assessment” after I submitted s56. Before that was “initial assessment”. And “finalised” when visa is granted. 

But i’ve seen many cases on this forum that the status can change straight from “recieved” to “finalised” or from “initial assessment” to “finalised”. So, maybe the status is not really a big deal for us. 

My visa is granted todayyyyy 2 weeks after s56 submitted. There’s no words to describe my feeling now. This forum has been helping me a lots

One thing that made me surprise that all of my applications were proceeded quicker than I expected. Also, my bosses have put the business on sale for 9 months now so very lucky for me. 

All the best for you guys.

and if the person gets his rsms visa granted 

and later on employer asks to sell the restaurant still a person needs  to lodge again visa and nomination or is it ok and just inform immigration and live in regional area

If the visa granted, there’re no problems with your visa and do not need to lodge again. But you still need to find a job in regional area and continue to work until 2 years are complete then u’re free to go anywhere.

Hello guys newbie here. Just got a question and wondering if you have any ideas...

My owner is selling his business while I have waited 16 months after lodged my visa, no news yet. They said the business is going to transfer to new owner in few weeks time. What should I do? And what’s gonna happen?? So worried now! 

If the new owner keep the ABN, there’s no problems for the application. But If they change ABN, you’ll have to lodge a whole new application & nomination and wait all over again. 

Cause my boss have put the business on sale for 10 months now but no one have buy it yet.

Hi.

Can anyone explain me, like how can I send my pte score to immigration from my pte account?

Because my result will expire soon, and I don't know at the time of exam I tick on share with immigration or not.

I tried to do but getting confused like I'm in SA, so  needs  to share with immigration SA?, However. In my bridging visa copy it mention about NSW.

Thanks in advance 

DOHA sent me this when they required me to release pte score 3 weeks ago. This is how you send score to them.

Also, in my case, i’ve sent score to them at the time I lodged application but they still asked for it again so it make me confused. So, i called Pte office and they told me to tell DOHA to contact them if they can’t access the score. And now i’m waiting for the outcome after submitted all s56 docs. Hopefully no problem about the pte score. 

I’m on the same boat with you. Most of people said nomination approved means 95% is done. But the visa could be refused if there’re some problems with health check, fake documents, got involved into criminal situations ( police check overseas and Aus) or not submit requested documents by due date. Without all of that problems, the golden email will come soon. 

Hi guys,

I don’t want to bring bad news but here is the updates from my agent:

For last few weeks, the refusals of nominations have been increased and will extend to more nomination applications. Most of the refusal reasons are not a genuine position without asking for further documents. It’s means CO open the case and refuse straightaway. This must be because of Immi has a limit of visas grant for each year, also this November 187 is out so they might want to leave some spaces for new applicants and get rid of those that have been waiting for years. 

Hi guys,

I got nomination approved yesterday Monday 17/06, only 1 day after submitted required documents.

Required documents for nomination: BAS, financial documents, payslips, PAYG, NOA, letters from accountant and boss.

Visa opened on same day and requested: AFP, form 80, health check, release pte score.

Occupation: cook

state: vic

visa, rcb, nomination: December 2017

finger cross for all of us
