Why not accept is the ethical question, because they know even if they accept student visa, the students can’t come to Australia anyway, that’s like taking their money but knowing they can’t get the products.

and please, two years ago before this pandemic in the end of 2018, the processing time is already 24 months. Now this visa stops, that means only current applicants got affected. 
i guess you have got your 187 already, because if you’re not I don’t think you will say this.

Hi all, 

Melon story but my partner was employed by a company and sponsored on 187. His HR team screwed up the application and it went to appeals because they didn’t provide enough information. We have HD the heating and the case has been remitted back to immigration to process as the appeals are satisfied we meet all the criteria. He has been in the job for 2 and a half years, we have been on a bridging visa the whole time but he has worked for the “sponsored employer”. 

Today he was made redundant by his employer and we do not yet have a decision from immigration, although it will likely be a yes because we met criteria for appeals. 

Has anyone had experience of this? As he has fulfilled his obligation with to work for the employer for more than two years does this mean our visa can still be accpeted and he can work for another company? 

Can he work in a non regional area if we are granted? 

Thanks in advance for the advice. 

How did it ended up? are you safe in oz?

They don’t have any rights to refuse any visas with this reason. If it’s actually is, they should close all the visas altogether. That’s more ethical than making any person waits for this long, same with partner visa, they should not accept the huge amount of money then increase the processing time, then decided to refuse it. This visa processing time is 4 months 3 years ago but it keeps increasing the timeline even before this pandemic. 
I am not applying for this visa but 887 soon, the processing time is now 27 months, before it’s 3 months. The feeling of staying on bridging visa for so long can mentally affect anyone.

They still approve student visa at the moment even though the border is closed. 

But I believe this is correct... If there are a lot of people unemployed what should the Australian government do? Prioritize their citizen is a must... and i will fell secure if my government will do it!

And student visa bring money to Australia... so why not accepting? it doesent say anywhere that australian government must accept or grant a certain number of PR every months... even if it is frustrating for us, but unfortunately this is what a good government is doing to protect its country...

Jesus guys... Stop going pandemic about your visa's as well. You should have you visa conditions printed on you letter grant. Open it, read and that's the answer for you! Noone in Australia got any time to cancel you visa now. Because we are in a complete crap right now, even 2009 market failure is not comparable...

 

One of our visa obligation is:

We expect that you will work for your nominating employer in regional Australia for at least 2 years. If you don't, we might cancel your visa.

It doesn't specify anything else. Sorry if we are panicking  but I personally don't  wanna lose my visa.

I am in the same situation... I would like to know as well.. any advice?

Hi MilaMocha,

I believe the 2 year period starts from the date of visa grant, and not 2 years full time work for the nominated business (while we are on Bridging visa).

I started working full time for my employer (when I applied for 187 visa) in Jan 2018. I recently received my 187 visa grant on 12 Dec 2018 and despite working for the employer for the last 11 months, it is not taken into account for the 2 years period. I have spoken to my MA about this and he has advised me that the 2 years start only after the visa grant. 

For those of us who have received our 187 visas, I think it is a wiser decision to fulfil the 2 years period after the visa grant just in case. However, if you encounter a difficult or unique situation, do speak to a professional to consider your options.

 

 

This is the reply from my MA:

 

Thank you for your email. The visa comes with nil conditions. However, section 137Q of the Migration Act specifies that subclass 187 visa holders can have their visas cancelled if they don't make a genuine effort to remain with the employer for two years from the date of visa grant. The onus is on the employer to report any changes to the Department of Home Affairs. Each situation is analysed on a case by case basis. If the employer is willing to change your employment conditions then you may not be at risk of being reported to the Department. In any case, you would always have a right to show that you have tried to make a genuine effort.

 

I hope this helps.

To fellow 187 applicants who are still waiting for your visa, stay positive and happy! Do not let this consume you.

Enjoy the lovely sights of beautiful Australia! Wishing everyone an awesome 2019!

This is what i found:

There is no mention of "visa grant"

12 Where the visa holder commenced the employment referred to in the relevant employer nomination (whether or not within the prescribed period), the person’s regional sponsored employment visa may be cancelled under new subsection 137Q(2).  The Minister may only cancel a person’s visa under new subsection 137Q(2) if:

• the Minister is satisfied that:

• the person commenced the employment referred to in the relevant employer nomination; and
• the employment terminated within the required employment period of 2 years starting on the day the person commenced that employment; and 

• the person does not satisfy the Minister that he or she has made a genuine effort to be engaged in that employment for the required employment period.

2 years from the day visa is approved.

(which is a long long time, i cant wait for the day i quit my job lol )

But where did you read it? There is no mention of that on government website

Hi everyone,

I discovered this amazing forum few weeks ago, and I have been a silent follower since then. 

It helps a lot sharing experience from all of us.

My question regard our conditions:

Do we count the 2 years from the day we start to be employed or  from the day visa is granted? In my opinion, reading the government website, is clear that  it starts from the moment the we begin employed. But I heard different and opposite opinion from various MA.

Which is your opinion ? Do you have any experience to share?
