May I ask regarding the complain you sent? Did your MA sent an direct email to the case officer or you did you do it some other way. Cheers

You are right David, but the working obligation is only after the grant of the visa not before the grant, and if you have any evidence or information regarding the work obligation before the grant of the visa, can you please share it here. Mate, I never provide deliberately misleading info, I have written here after reading the whole conditions of the 187 visa subclass. I think many people granted this visa without even stepping into their employer's business premises and only started work after the grant of the visa. and How is that possible for an offshore applicant to start work with an employer before the grant of the visa when he will get the entry only after the grant of the visa?

Well again, which stream are we talking? I am TRT and I had be to employed full time for 2 years before I could even apply for 187 visa, if you’re talking about DE then yes you can get this visa without stepping into your potential place of work. The person you were replying to mentioned that he has concern that his AAT decision might be affected due to reduced number of hours, what this tells me? He or she is more likely TRT (457 visa), reduced number of hours is a cause of concern? Absolutely but immigration and AAT is taking account of reduced number of hours due to COVID-19, I won AAT while I wasn’t even working due to Covid-19 but I have been employed full time for number of years so that was in my favour. Condition of 457 is you have to be working full time for your employer and you have the option of applying 187visa after your 2yrs of full time employment. You really think everyone on here are offshore? As far as I know you cannot go to AAT if you’re an offshore applicant (I might be wrong but that’s what I have been told by my migration agent). Only employers can go to AAT for nomination only as they are Australian based. If you’re an offshore applicant this forum is useless for you. Well guess I don’t really know how offshore applicants start their work with an employer before the grant of the visa when he will get the entry only after the grant of the visa. But very good question, I’ll let someone else answer that

Hi,

Visa 187 do not have any condition to work full time or part-time for your employer before the grant of the visa,  even if you do not work for your employer before the grant, shouldn't matter, if you are onshore you get 3 months of time to start the work with your employer and if you offshore you get 6 months to start the work with your employer after the grant, it was only considered safe and helpful to convince the genuine position to the department in recent years when department foolishly started refusing the applications. You have a very solid reason of covid-19 for the reduction of the hours, so don't worry, if your employer is with you.

You are giving people wrong information, subclass 187 has a condition that you have to be working full time for your employer for a period  2years after the grant and prior to getting a visa, if you’re not working for your employer full time then there is a higher chance that you won’t win AAT, there are exceptions for reduced number of work hours affected due to COVID-19. You can have mutual agreement with your employer to part ways in that 2year period after the grant but you have to prove you made a genuine attempt to stay with the employer, if your employer notify the department that you have ended your employment before the 2yrs obligatory period than your 187 visa gets cancelled. Please don’t give people wrong information and whoever reads this thread don’t make any decisions without talking to your registered migration agent. Thanks

Hi everyone i need advice please, I am waiting for my hearing from long time, i applied 186 nomination refusal file in AAT department, i am waiting from my decision 31 months in Melbourne. Now my employer does not want me to work. Should i change the employer then new employer can go to the court behalf of old employer?

May i have to apply again 186 visa? Please advice

Kind Regards

Unfortunately you are in a very difficult situation and if your company doesn’t support you then AAT will refuse your nomination. New company cannot fight for you as your nomination is for the current company you are working for. I’d suggest you to talk to a migration agent ASAP or you will run out time. You will definitely have to apply for a new visa. Hope this helps and good luck

Hi David08. Thanks for replying. 

As he doesn't want me to come. And if this gets to a negative response from AAt then he will not support me any further I m sure. I just want to know my options. Can anyone please help. 

You need to talk to a good migration agent to explore other options because your situation doesn’t sound good. Good luck, I hope everything works out

Hi everyone. I hope you all are safe in this pandemic. 

Nomination+visa applied Feb 2017

Nomination refused sep 2018 

Visa refused Oct 2018

AAt appeal nomination sep 2018

Visa Oct 2018

Since then till date heard nothing from AAt or employer. 

He refuses to get me on work until visa is granted. Refusal reason genuine need of position. 

My employer sounds a bit grumpy now a days and I m afraid he will withdraw my appeal. 

 I want to ask you guys. As I have no idea regarding all this. If he withdraws what will happen next? 

I have section 48. I m on bvc. 

Please pray for my visa to be granted.

Thanks. 

What is your occupation? You still have to continue working for the employer and if you’re stood down then it’s ok. If your employer doesn’t want you to work until you get your visa then unfortunately it’s not a good news as AAT will ask you to provide payslips.

Need suggestions. Should I give a call to Immi for information about how my file is going. Submitted all the documents after decision set aside by AAT IN June and recently submitted the visa medical 

I tried calling them too, all they said was we don’t have a processing time for cases after AAT win, got told to keep an eye on my emails for any correspondence from the department and wait. Sick of this really....by the way I won AAT in May.

Hi David 

any progress on your visa after nomination approval ?

this long wait even after AAT is so annoying

No unfortunately I haven’t heard anything, this wait has been killing me and I’m soo frustrated, I have already waited over 3yrs now. 
 

I think all the Victorian visa application is on hold due to stricter restrictions. Let’s hope for good news soon.

Hi 

is there no timeline for PR visa to be approved after nomination Has been set aside and approved in AAT ?  Years of wait and only thing advised is PLEASE WAIT MORE 

Hi,

How long have you been waiting for visa approval? It’s been 5 weeks for me since I have submitted all the required documents to immi and haven’t heard anything since, not sure how long they take.

30 minutes ago, Leticia said:

David 

do you have an immi agent?

because I don’t have an immi account. My agent look after my application. Maybe I need to create account to make sure that she has sent my documents ? I’ll have a look into.

so you are just looking forward to do your medical conditions ? Or looking for anything else ?

Hi Leticia,

I do have a migration agent but I like to keep on top of things, it’s due to lack to migration agent forward thinking I got my visa rejected and had to go through AAT. You should make an immi account and import your application, you will be able to see everything that your agent has done, you will your application reference number to import your application. 
 

I have already done my Medicals, Police Check and Form80...these are the 3 documents was asked my immi after the nomination approved. I am just waiting for my visa now, it’s been 4 weeks now, hopefully good news is not too far. 
Feel free to ask me any question you have.
