    NSW, but that shouldn't matter.

    Good day all, Our PR visas got granted a few minutes ago. Thank you all for your support and best wishes to those who are waiting. Regards, Avi

    I am pretty sure that's not the case. As someone who has uploaded four PCCs to my PR application, the general rule is that the PCC should be issued in the last one year. Most countries (none of the four I got mine for) put a validity on it. After all, how can a PCC be 'valid' for one year? That would mean that the issuing authority can magically predict that the applicant will not commit any serious crime for the next one year! All they really say is that "As far as we know, this person hasn't done anything too bad". That's all it really is.

    Hi all, As we wait for out visas (we've now provided the PCCs that they asked for), I have two questions. The first one is easy: After uploading the documents requested by the CO, is there anyway to message/ping the CO to tell them that "Hey, the docs you wanted are ready" or do you just wait and hope they are keeping a tab? This one is more detailed. I am aware of the 2 year commitment to the employer as part of the ENS visa (and also know that it can almost never be enforced if you leave before that). After my visa is done, my employer will recontract me to a different (subsidiary) company. By law, the new company is totally independent and has nothing to do with my current company. So essentially, I will leave my company and join the new company on their request. My question is that wouldn't this jeopardise the employer's ability to enforce the 2 year commitment even further because they would have themselves moved me to a different company within that two year period (and as I said, they CANNOT say that the companies are related in anyway)? Appreciate your responses.

    Bureaucracy and more red tape. Might as well check with the Ministry of Agriculture if the food production in NZ is normal.

    I think I've seen some people who took 3 months. Can be due to a number of reasons. For example, we were contacted in 4 days but since we don't have the required police clearances ready, we might have to wait for a couple of months.

    There is nothing called priority processing for an agent. Bigger agents tend to be more thorough, based on experience, but that their name is not supposed to have any impact on the processing of the application. In terms of the sponsoring employer, bigger ones will tend to get their way (not necessarily quicker) only because from a CO perspective, they have less to investigate about in terms of the legitimacy of the company.

    Good day all, Finally some good news. My nomination has been approved (as of Feb 2, 2019 but got the official confirmation today). No documents required (I do work for a large company). Now it's the visa's turn, which might take a little while as we need several police clearances. Relieved, nevertheless.

    It takes 6 months to get one from the Iranian embassy.

    Hi Hex, Yes, children of parents who are permanent residents can become Australian citizens (there is a brief procedure that needs to be followed). The parents would have to satisfy standard citizenship requirements. I am not sure what you mean by 'separating a new born...'. If a parent(s) is(are) deported, they can take their child with them to their home country; the only benefit will be that the child will have the option to return to Australia at a later stage in their lives. In the United States, you can give birth on a tourist visa (or other temporary visas such as student visas) and your child becomes a US citizen. This has led to a lot of scams with tourists (lots of Chinese rackets) going to the US solely to get their newborns US citizenship. I have two friends who were PhD students in the US and had children there, but had to return to India as they could not get work visas, with their respective children (the child has the right to go back to India; this is the case with every country I know of, including those [like India] that do not recognise dual citizenships).

    Hi Aron, The only thing you can claim back on a 457 (that you can't otherwise) is your medicare levy. Even that, you can only do if you have not applied for and received a temporary medicare card (which you are eligible for if you have applied for a PR).

    Yes, I went from being a senior to a manager. However, we carefully maintained 70% or so of my original job responsibilities with the new role.

    Hi, Can you tell me what is this consent form you are talking about? I have also submitted my NZ police clearance, and although it is fairly recent, you never know with these idiots.

    Not a copy writer, but a technical writer (different ANZCO). Also applied in Feb 2018.

    No, because of transitional arrangements for 457 visa holders. Basically, if you had a 457 with pretty much any occupation (originally the CSOL), then you can could be nominated for 186 visa. The March 18 deadline, if I remember correctly, would only apply to 186 DE nominations, not TRT, so you should be alright. Additionally, I don't think your MA would have filed for a visa you are not eligible for!
