    This is very varied. It could be tomorrow, it could be next week. Factors like your current role / your birth country come into play.

    There have been a number of Restaurant Managers as of recent achieve their VISA. You applied in July, so with current waiting times you shouldn't be expecting anything until at least July 2019 keeping in line with current waiting times unfortunately, you may be lucky.

    Hey All! Just got the Golden Email. 9 Months on the dot exactly! And an exact week since the Nomination. Very pleased! Timeline in the signature. Thanks all for the support and kind words within the forum, very supportive, but I did find myself becoming salty with the 2-3 month approvals post SAF! I'll hang around and answer questions when I can!!!! p.s. remember to notify your bank and update your Medicare card when you get the approval!

    I would argue that the majority of Grandfathering roles now exist on the STSOL list, and not the MLTSSL - and we have reports that occupations on this list will be processed faster, as well as seeing people on this forum having their VISA's processed faster, not in all cases albeit.

    The ‘Grandfathering’ permits certain 457 visa holders who were granted their 457 visa on or before 18 April 2017 to apply under the current requirements for a ENS 186 TRT. If you held, or had applied for, a Subclass 457 visa on 18 April 2017, you will be able to take advantage of existing TRT stream provisions: Occupation requirements will remain the same (ie there are no restrictions as long as you continue to work in the same position for the same employer as approved for your visa); The age requirement will remain at less than 50 years of age; and The work experience requirement (ie. the requirement to have worked in your occupation at least two out of the three years prior to nomination on a Subclass 457) will remain at two years. Source: http://www.abacusvisa.com.au/news-flash/grandfathering-provisions-announced-for-certain-457-visa-holders So basically, if you were granted a 457 VISA after 18th April 2017, you would not be eligible to apply for the 186 TRT under the new conditions, however if you held before, the Grandfathering provisions allow for this.

    Hey - no information requested fortunately from what I can see. I' m really not sure about the training benchmarks, this was all done by our Managing Director and my Line Manager. My VISA application is still 'Received' according to my MA.

    Further to this, I just seen a news flash, that they are increasing the limit on Employee Sponsored VISA cap, up 3500 - I think this will more hit Independent Skill Based VISA's.

    Hey All! Just had my Silver Email, totally surprised! Thinking as I'm on the Grandfathered role I'd be waiting at least another 3 months. This came in yesterday (19/03/2019) - so guess I won't be a lucky Nom/Visa 1 day guy!

    Was just wondering this - is it likely to affect the Skilled Points In dependant based VISA's more than ENS?

    Absolute joke.

    Welcome We can add, if you supply. Format similar to what's in my signature is required, but with specific nomination / visa application dates.

    Wow that was a fast one, for a Grandfathered role / non-SAF. You didn't provide health, police check etc when you initially submitted your application? Congrats.
  13. Whites.uk
    You applied in 2018 or 2017? You are able to append your signature here; https://www.pomsinoz.com/settings/signature/

    Congrats on the good news. Can you please let us know the following information; Occupation: Country: Stream: Number of applicants: 186 Visa/Nomination Submitted:

    If you move from one role to another, and they are not closely aligned, you have to inform the IMMI. If you change roles, you'll likely drop off your 457, and move onto a TSS VISA. If your new role is not on the Medium-term stream, you will not qualify for the 186 TRT, and if it is, you now must wait 3 years instead of 2 before you can apply. If you have been in your current role, on or before April 2017 on a 457 VISA, you should qualify for 186 TRT via the Grandfathering Arrangement. I'd think carefully and consult an MA on your situation.
  16. Whites.uk
    Please provide time line, date of application, occupation etc.
  17. Whites.uk
    Best practice is to have an application 'Decision Ready' when submitted. Due to the cost of medicals and their 1 year expiry date, some MA's recommend doing it a little later down the line. As you applied in September, I'd look to arrange one soon.

    Well, for a start, your friend who has an occupation on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) - and your occupation doesn't appear there. Occupations on this list are sometimes processed quicker.

    This isn't the case for all Hairdresser applicants, I've got a friend who worked for Tony & Guy a big firm who had their 186 come through at a decent time. But I've also seen a few cases on here, where people were waiting nearly 2 years. I believe there is a few factors; Size of the business, have they sponsored someone before. Small businesses with low revenue / staff generally get looked at in greater detail. A lot of Hairdressers I assume work for smaller salons. Hair Dresser is a ANZCO Level 3 Skill Job, and so the qualifications required to meet the Skill level e.g. a AQF Certificate / equivalent, which is available at college level may come from a bogus institute (more common than you think). Not to mention there is many variations of AQF Certificates, depending on which country you obtained the certification in. In comparison to a ANZCO Level 1 - where you need a Bachelor Degree, and so the Institute is generally more well known / more clear cut. Thus, further investigation into the college / qualifications might be necessary, especially if from a HR country. Many other factors come into play also, but these are two that stand out for me. As you are TRT, and so have already had your 457 approved, this should help, as they've already approved you for that role, rather than a DE applicant.

    The Department is still getting through the bulk of March applicants. Haven't seen too many April applications be processed as of yet. But in your case, as a Hair Dresser, you might have to wait a little longer, as this occupation is often scrutinized more than others.

    MA = Migration Agent LR = Low Risk HR = High Risk These are used when defining the country of an applicant, and is set by the Immigration Department. Applicants from High Risk countries generally face a little more scrutiny on their applications, generally because more fraudulent applications from people within HR countries.

    It's very hard for any of us to say. Likely, as your TRT criteria is largely based off your 457 work experience, there may have been a discrepancy between your 457 file and your TRT, you're MA may have adjusted this, or the CO might have updated it to reflect something. Maybe ask your MA if they had updated your 457 file? If not, a CO may have updated something, could have been something as small as an address. Just my 2 cents worth - please take with a pinch of salt.

    @boo-yaa so sad to read this news. You've been an absolute essential asset to this community, and you're wise words have helped many. Please consider how fast we're seeing nominations being processed now with the SAF (as bitter as I have been feeling towards to the newer applicants) - I too wouldn't consider an appeal, but with a re-nomination you could see a 4-5 months wait. Wishing you all the best, please keep us updated on your refusal reasons. Over and out, all the best in the future.
  24. Whites.uk
    I believe that's the last time an amendment was made to your Application. Did you recently send your MA a document to update? e.g. a Police Certificate?
  25. Whites.uk
    No one can say for certainty, from previous comments - but I think the common opinion amongst this thread is that they can't. I know there's a few MA floating around on the the sub-board (https://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/48-business-sponsored/), you could start a post there and ask, one of them should be able to give you a concrete answer. I'm also wanting to do it, with my MA asking I don't, so if you find out, please let me know!!
