I've got that s56 email back on February 5th and I upload all the documents by february 20th. I also asked for a 2 vac for my partner that same day (that's a second application payment instead of seating the english  test).

My status shows "further assessment"

Also nomination not approved yet

Hii guys is that possible that department request medical and police clearance without nomination approval 

4 ppl applied rsms from our restaurant 

2ppl  june 2017

1 aug 2017

and other applied feb 2018

and department requested documents from feb 2018 without any nomination approval??

 

That's my case, they requested more documents (proof of partner relationship, partner  english test, both AFP check, and health check) on February 5th, everything was submitted by february 15th and my application says "further assessments" since then. Nomination not approved yet

I see that there is some people who applied in june 2017 and they have got nomination approvals and documents request around january a February this year. My point is that they have similar document request and nomination approval dates.

I also applied in june 2017 and they requested my partner English test, Health Check and proof of relationship on February 5th. Everything  was submitted on February 15th. 

My application indicates that it is in "further assessment" it have been 1 month and eleven days since then. 

May god help us to get the PR soon.

Wrong, ask some of the well-known registered migration agents and even call the immigration to make sure. 2 years full-time counted when you were granted a visa.

They don’t count when you work with the employers before the visa granted. If you quit that’s your risk except if you have compelling circumstances like the store is into liquidation or injured etc. Some of the 457 i know work for the employers for 4 years and they don’t count as well.

They make it really hard especially in regional areas if you’ve seen the news.

Call them and hear your answer

MIGRATION ACT 1958 - SECT 137Q

Cancellation of regional sponsored employment visas

Employment does not commence

             (1)  The Minister may cancel a regional sponsored employment visa held by a person if:

                     (a)  the Minister is satisfied that the person has not commenced the employment referred to in the relevant employer nomination within the period prescribed by the regulations; and

                     (b)  the person does not satisfy the Minister that he or she has made a genuine effort to commence that employment within that period.

Employment terminates within 2 years

             (2)  The Minister may cancel a regional sponsored employment visa held by a person if:

                     (a)  the Minister is satisfied that:

                              (i)  the person commenced the employment referred to in the relevant employer nomination(whether or not within the period prescribed by the regulations); and

                             (ii)  the employment terminated within the period of 2 years starting on the day the person commenced that employment; and

                     (b)  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.

pay special attention to the phrases

(whether or not within the period prescribed by the regulations);

(the period of 2 years starting on the day the person commenced that employment) That day is when both parts celebrate the full time employment contract witch is used to do the nomination

In the court database you can find examples of similar cases in witch the judge has used the above interpretation of law

If you are casual it will. If you have sign a full time contract then you'll be free after 2 years of the celebration of the contract if you get your PR

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?

 

 

According to the migration act 1958 and to my migration agent. The time start running from the day you started the full time employment.

im glad that people loves their job, love what they're doing everyday. but sadly i dont enjoy it for reasons. i didnt complain a thing though. so please dont feel unpleasant, or judge people whose different opinion

I understand you, I have seen people that looks like they have no soul at the end of their sponsorship.
