@Hexthank you

Hi everyone, my PR was granted yesterday. Here is my timeline: Pastry cook 186TRT NSW HR country Nomination -Visa applied: 26 June2017 Nomnation refused: 16 June 18 ( training benchmarks issue) Reapplied Nomination and Visa: 24 October 2018 Nomination approved : 31 May 2019 Recieved request s56 : 5 June2019 ( health checks) Visa granted: 15 July 2019 NSW pese team 13

I've got team 13 as well. Received a request for s56 5/6/19 , submitted on 16/6/19 and still waiting for a decision.

Hi GTRZ I heard that TAFE Queensland is able to do it (back date contributions). Anyway I'm wondering why do you need to provide training expenditures because training benchmarks has been replaced by SAF since 12 August 18 . Hence training evidences are no longer considered after that time. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi Diggy Singh , may I ask which is state you applied? Thanks

All good, thanks for reply.

@Ash1983 what was the processing time shown when you lodged Nomination and visa application?

Training benchmarks are no longer required since 12.8.18

HI CCP, So sorry to hear about your situation. My reply might be too late now as I just found your post today.However I just wanna share my case. My case is exactly the same as you. I got my nomination refused in June2018(Ens186 Pastrycook transits from 457). The reasons of refusal was that there was insufficient evidence (receipts, a written report of the training outcome) to show that PR or Citizen were giving training. After having consultations from 2 migration agents and 2 migration lawyers,then I decided to reapply as those migration specialists said there is the best option for me so far. The positive point for reapply option is that the laws have chance. So.if you lodge a nomination application after 12 August 2018 the case officer are now not required to assess the training benchmark requirements as all businesses that nominate permanent or temporary staff must simply pay the training contribution charge( $3,000 for business with a turnover less than 10 million. Anyway my case still has risks as the refusal decision of the previous nomination is on record and it could be adverse information and this can affect to the new nomination so the best way to do is providing a strong submission about the previous training issue. Or if I'm lucky , the case officer might not give weight to the training benchmark issue on the record as it has been discarded by the new laws. Finger cross and always have a good hope! What I want to tell you is that don't just stick on one migration agent but seek a lot of second opinions from several agents or even lawyers to ensure you get the best solution. Good luck!
