Thanks, but I cannot see any conditions aside of remaining lawful. The rest is more guidance and that I may get 10 documents translated free of charge

Hi, We had our 187 approved in February 2020 and with the way everything is, I just want to make sure we have a good understanding over the post approval conditions. I couldn’t really find much information on VEVO, but perhaps I was looking in the wrong place...

My employer is part of an international group that is approved for Oversea Sponsorship. I'm transferring to their subsidiary based in Australia. Will the subsidiary need to be approved also for sponsorship? Or will the parent company approval be sufficient.

Thanks again Marisa. Sending our belongings earlier than moving out is a good idea and I’m sure we could made do for 6 weeks here

I’ve not heard of Movecube but have spent the last 30 minutes reading up and getting a quote. Thanks seems a decent option

Hi, We're taking advantage of our July move to clear ourselves of old tat that we can replace with new tat haha. In doing so, we are considering taking only about 10 - 15 boxes, dining table and chairs, double bed, 2 side boards and a few other bits. Our conundrum is that when we've had quotes, they range from £1200 - £2000 and we could sell what we've got in the UK and get £2000 for them. And not have the hassle of shipping. Do we bother, or buy everything new/ second hand? Are there any hidden costs? It was surprising how expensive it was to ship out our car once import tax and GST was included We're also planning on renting, so our stuff may go into storage. Any views? Are beds and dining tables expensive in Oz?

Hi, I've been granted a 482 temporary visa for the Parent Company I work for. in the next 3 months, I need to transfer the visa to a subsidiary branch in Australia. Does the subsidiary company need to go through the sponsorship and nomination process? I presume they do if I've read the correct information.

It's a TSS 482 visa Thanks

We finally had our visa approved which was a great relief. Moving to Queensland in August. For years I've witnessed migrants in the UK receive financial support. Wondering if there are any benefits for a family moving to Queensland? First time buyers assistance, or other settlement support? Thanks

Perhaps I misread the word concession somewhere

So will it just be a lower threshold, rather than 65 points? Otherwise I can’t see where the concessions come from

Do you think the concessions on points may refer to lower points for languages rather than skills and experience?

Hello everyone, So I noticed that there are two new regiona visas coming later this year: Employer sponsored regional visa - isn’t this the same as RSMS 187? Temporary Regional Sponsored visa - does anyone know what this is? From the official site, it mentions some concessions on points? Thanks

Thanks Raul

It’s a temporary Visa

Hi, When it comes to my sponsoring company completing the Secondary applicant, they froze. What are the benefits/ implications of my company sponsoring a secondary applicant? Should they do it?

Hello, i asked this question elsewhere on the forum but would appreciate a broader view. For the RSMS there are eligible postcodes for where your business sponsor needs to reside. Does it matter where you live? Of course you will want to be close to work but thinking about schools and catchment areas, do I need to still be within the regional postcodes? Thanks

In relation to Aussiebirds comment

My experience is quite similar. When I’ve approached MAs recently away from this forum about 25% have responded. Or very slow to respond to my enquiry (2 months in one case) The only MA that has responded to me through the forum is Raul, who is highly regarded.

Thanks LoudYorkie. Your role as a business analyst is very similar to the position I am in. 50% of my day is spent researching. This is why I'm keen to understand exactly what was done for others. In your case, did the agent do a particular thing? Review your contract offer against current Law? That's the value I'm looking for. The reason I want to check is we were quote $2000 to complete the online submission for becoming a company being able to sponsor employees. There are 11 sections, much of it is Yes/ No and a few character limited response boxes.

I’ve always had it in mind that the RCB application would go in first and get approval before applying for an RSMS visa?

Have you got any examples of harsh decisions? most of the reasons you listed for failure appear controllable and sensible. If you can’t fill out form 80, as well as business plans evidencing why, organagrams, finances etc then why should you be granted a visa at someone else’s expense. For the RSMS how much interaction do DHA have with the regional certifying board?

Thanks for the comment Raul. When I’ve read other posts, I’ve noticed that you often comment with common sense. If the refusal rate is 50% are you saying that the ones that fail are not complying with the regulations, legislative instrument and typical requirements of the visa? I supppose this is the crux of it, if I instruct a MA does that 50% chance lower considerably? In terms of offshore, or onshore as you don’t know the circumstances of our possible application our chance of success is unknown.

Thanks for the replies. Im just trying to figure out the value of instructing an agent when most of the information appears in the public domain, and sensible. Yes I’m sure they are looking for detailed information so a case officer can make a judgement. Which is why I asked about what in particular the agent did? If there is a trick to completing the application, that only agents know then that’s valuable. Whilst I didn’t know about the changes in law for remaining relative visa, I did see that the waiting was around 50 years as you can find that info out and put 2 and 2 together

Hello, Keen to understand the role of an agent. What do they do? Does the involvement of a MARA agent improve credibility? How in particular did an agent help? Thanks
